The top ten players of all time

So my post yesterday got me thinking… who are the 10 greatest players of all time? 
Players whose careers are finished – so no A-Rod or Ken Griffey Jr., I’m not sure they would be on the list but let’s count them out.  No Barry Bonds, either, because I cannot attribute what amount of his achievements [...]

Mantle v. Mays

I will stick in my two cents.  Although having never seen any of them play.  I have only reviewed the stats and read books (granted I never read a detailed biography on Mays, I will make sure I read this one). 
To me, it is difficult to evaluate Mantle and compare him effectively to Mays.  Injuries.  [...]

Mantle vs. Mays
Francesca had a show yesterday on Willie Mays, which featured the author of a new book on Willie’s life.  It was very interesting.  Francesca said that he was a big Mantle fan (because he was a Yankees and not a Giant fan), but he also said that Mays was a better all around [...]

No password memory lapse here

Just not much to write about.  This is the most controversy-free spring training camp I have ever witnessed.  A-Rod reports and Newsday doesn’t have one mention of his name… well maybe one, but almost as an after thought.  So far, Jeter has no contract issues, neither does Mo – because of Jeter’s press conference, Burnett [...]

All Jeter needs is a solid year, if it approaches his performance of last year he has more cards, will [...]

Let’s Get Serious

Ok, let’s get some serious baseball talk going now that the guys are holding full squad workouts.  All kidding aside about how bad this outfield is going to be.  Let’s take a prelim look at the relative strengths and weakness of this club heading into spring training.
First the positives:
Full season of A-Rod.  He’s back and [...]

Boring

This site has been way to boring recently. I stumbled across this funny video and though I’d share.

Movin’ on up!

The site is working Much faster.  Nice!

Damon and Park

So Damon gets 1 year, $8 million from Detroit.  I guess this saves a little face being that is is higher than the rumored $7 million per year the Yankees offered. I’m sure it makes him sleep much better.  By the way, I thought Detroit got rid of Granderson to cut payroll?!
The Yanks sign Chan [...]

Good job!
