Mussina had such a different personality from the normal distribution baseball dude. I can see him as a pitching coach but not a MLB manager. But I can see him as the manager of a college team.  He is certainly smart enough to be a media commentator, but not really dynamic enough to be a [...]

So, for all that extra cash locked up for X years…you’re getting…what?
Well…you’re getting a better player…that’s clear. Teixeira’s OPS is more than 100 points higher. But practically, Teixeira is not THAT much better. It’s not like we’re comparing A-Rod numbers (in a good year) to Swisher’s. BUT, Boras is talking [...]

Recent rumors have The Sox interested in both Burnett AND Teixeira. And the rumors are that they want both players badly. This is confusing.
They don’t need Burnett. Beckett, Matsuzaka, Lester, Wakefield, Bucholz, Masterson, etc.  I’m sure he’d be nice to have, but with the depth of pitching in that organization…aquiring Burnett isn’t critical.
But, I do [...]

Moose pitched great last season, but he may very well have been miserable in 2009. Who knows.
The Dynasty ended with the aquisitions of Moose and Giambi. Maybe 2009 will be a good year. Similiar to 1996…Mattingly gone….Yankees win. I’m not comparing Moose/Giambi to Mattingly, but in this game…..funny things happen. Again, who knows.
With Moose not returning, [...]

The title of the post reflects how I feel about him.  I know a World Championship eluded him as well as a CY Young, but Moose can hold his head up high – knowing that he gave it his all.  This was an unbelievable year from him and what a way to go out.  He [...]
