Alright, I’ll admit right off to the biased preference as a Mets-Jays fan that the Blue Jays that have to leave the Jays wind up in Flushing when they do so. But the simple fact is that Wells is the kind of guy you want to lock up as a long term fixture in your [...]

I don’t know exactly what to make of this but I figure it’s curious enough an attempt at satire involving our beloved Keith Hernandez that’s it’s worth posting for your viewing pleasure in hopes of getting your thoughts. I’m not sure it’s as smart as it wants to be or that it’s a terribly fair [...]

The Major League Baseball draft is hugely important to determining who has access to the cheap young talent that are absolutely crucial to filling out major league rosters that are perpetually challenged with respect to budget as high quality veterans and even necessary above average ones raise total payroll for a team all by themselves.
