Remaining Award Picks
I’ve heard tell that the Baseball Bloggers Alliance may come out of hibernation to vote on our annual awards. Having already covered my MVP (or “Stan Musial”) and Cy Young (“Walter Johnson”) picks, I thought I’d chime in with some … Continue reading
Cabrera’s MVP Case Derailed
No, not that Cabrera. He’s still the frontrunner to win a second straight AL MVP, despite the math at fangraphs making a familiar argument. I’m talking about Everth Cabrera of the Padres, who was suspended for 50 games today for … Continue reading

An Early All-Star Ballot
In the past, I’ve used this space to name my quarter-season All-Star team. With the actual All-Star ballot now out, I’m tempted to post both a novelty piece about the players enjoying unexpected success through 40-45 games and an actual … Continue reading

Mock Draft – Maybin, Maybe Not
The weekend was slow going in the mock draft I’m participating in with a bunch of fantasy baseball bloggers. I’ve told you about my first seven picks. Over the last three days, I’ve added four more. By the time my … Continue reading
An Indians Fan’s Dream
One of the beautiful things about April baseball is the unpredictability of early results. Every team has hot and cold streaks over 162 games, but if a surprising team goes on an early run, its fans can dream a little. … Continue reading
April 6th MVPs
NL MVP Nick Hundley, Padres (.533/.588/.800) Nobody in the NL stands out quite like the top few hitters in the AL, but Hundley’s now 8-for-15 with three extra base hits and a walk. For a catcher who’s played a quarter … Continue reading
