And Another Injury
April 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Adrian Beltre is out of the lineup for Sunday’s game with right hamstring tightness.
Can we please add more DL spots this year. Soon I won’t be able to field a team.
Year to date injury summary: Lackey, Granderson, Jeter, Victorino, Beltre, Cabrera. We can also count Slowey who pitched 3 innings for me before he went down.
True […]

Not What You Want To Hear

An article from Seattlepi.com:
Here’s a line score oddity the Mariners never expected or wanted to see: Erik Bedard with more home runs allowed than strikeouts.
But Friday at Peoria Sports Complex, the left-hander surrendered a pair of two-run homers while notching one strikeout in five innings.
In 18 innings this spring, Bedard has struck out eight and […]

Andruw Overweight? Judge For Yourself
March 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment
According to an article written by Bill Plaschke, Andruw Jones has entered Dodgers camp weighing slightly more than he did last season.

Andruw […]

Buster Olney talks about who could take Delgado’s place if his hip becomes a bigger problem:
