Francisco Liriano is back. After missing all of last season with an arm injury, Liriano was back on the mound and looked sharp on Sunday.
Technically speaking, Liriano pitched earlier this season for the Minnesota Twins. However, he was obviously still hurting and he was sent down to the minors. In the minor […]
Here’s a look at the best teams in baseball as we head into the month of July.
1. Boston Red Sox - The defending champions still the best in the business.

Jonathan Papelbon has appeared in less than 150 games as a relief pitcher but he has quickly become one of the best closers in the game of baseball. When Papelbon takes the mound, he oftentimes makes opposing hitters look hopeless.
However, for the second straight game, the right-hander out of Mississippi State has blown a […]
Carlos Gomez, the 22-year-old centerfielder for the Minnesota Twins, hit for the cycle on Wednesday night against the Chicago White Sox. Gomez became the first Twin in 22 years to hit for the cycle. The last player on the Twins to hit for the cycle was Kirby Puckett.
On the third pitch of the […]
Which closers have been perfect so far this season? Let’s take a look at the closer who currently have a 0.00 ERA.
CJ Wilson, Texas Rangers
CJ Wilson has five saves, eight innings pitched and a perfect ERA. While the rest of the bullpen hasn’t been great for the Rangers, Wilson has been lights out.

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 Minnesota Twins have inked veteran right-hander Livan Hernandez to a 1-year deal worth $5 million plus incentives that could kick the total value up to $7 million.
This is a great pickup by the Twins. Hernandez is 33 years old and has made 30 or more starts in each of the past 10 seasons. He […]
Dave Rouleau at the Biz of Baseball interviews former Montreal Expos broadcaster Jacques Doucet. They cover a lot of ground here.
Doucet on preparing for a game:
My work always began when I woke up, with the newspapers. Before the laptops, everything was done by hands (notes and research), but the information was also hard to get […]
Everyone else is calling it the Erik Bedard trade. I thought I’d be a little different and focus on the centerpiece of the package headed to Baltimore.
The full deal sees the O’s send southpaw Bedard to Seattle in exchange for center fielder Adam Jones, left-handers George Sherrill and Tony Butler, and right-handers Chris Tillman, and […]
