We’ve got our staff predictions up at Hardball Times. I go into greater detail about Padres-specific items over at Ducksnorts.
At THT, I’ve gone with the popular pick except for AL West (I chose Mariners over Angels), AL Wild Card (Indians over Yankees), and NL Cy Young (Jake Peavy over Johan Santana — there’s my Padres […]
Fourteen games are on tap for Opening Day 2008. Sure, the Red Sox and A’s played some games in Japan, but nobody on this side of the pond watched, and the Nationals opened their new ballpark in the made-for-ESPN Sunday night game, but today is when the season really begins.
Ordinarily in this space I would […]
Well, maybe not, but my latest article at Baseball Digest Daily profiles the 15 big leaguers who have as their only hit a triple. Yep, from John Barthold to Eric Cammack, I’ve got you covered. You’re welcome…

J.D. Drew and Ila Borders were playing in the Northern League. Kevin Mench led the NCAA in home runs, while Brian Roberts led in stolen bases. You guessed it, we’re back in 1998 for our latest look at baseball’s best prospects from that year. Sit back, relax, and enjoy…

No, I didn’t get up at 3 a.m. to watch Opening Day in Japan. Maybe if the Padres had been playing, but the Red Sox? Meh.
(As an aside, is anyone else sick of the word “meh” to show indifference? I’ve used it here to sound hipper than I actually am, but I kinda hate it. […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired right-handed reliever Tyler Yates from the Atlanta Braves for minor-league right-hander Todd Redmond. The latter is a former 39th-round pick who only struck out 6 batters per 9 innings in High-A last year at age 22. Every case is different, of course, but those guys don’t have a real good […]

Hey, here’s a fun team that doesn’t get a lot of attention. The 1966 Pittsburgh Pirates went 92-70, good enough for third place in an extremely tight National League race. The Dodgers won the pennant, with the Giants back of them by 1 1/2 games. The Bucs, in turn, finished 1 […]
The Minnesota Twins have signed closer Joe Nathan to a 4-year, $47 million deal. Since coming to Minnesota in 2004, Nathan has the best ERA in baseball (1.94, min. 280 IP). Given the apparent going rate for closers, this is pretty good value.
That said, can anyone explain to me what the heck the Twins are […]
The Florida Marlins have optioned young outfielder Cameron Maybin, acquired in the Miguel Cabrera giveaway, to Double-A Carolina. He’s 20 years old, so there’s no hurry. Besides, now he might get to learn what winning feels like.

Over at Ducksnorts, I’ve interviewed Tom Krasovic, who covers the Padres for the San Diego Union-Tribune. Some of it is Padres specific, but we touch on other items as well, including blogging as a medium for reporting sports:
Some newspaper writers use a blog as a launching point for their opinions on a wide variety of […]
