It's not a big deal at all. Apparently one or two players on the MLB team have some pretty immature opinions, and the Chronicle's dedicated itself...
Can't imagine anything happens. MLB was publicly backing the Astros through this.
It's Dick Parsons, not Chandler Parsons.
Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: money spent on MLB player salaries just isn't equivalent to money spent on draft bonuses. The regulations...
Yeah, it's easy now to say we should have given him a chance with his new swing, but we did give him hundreds of career at bats and he was coming...
Boom. Love that one of Tucker or Gregor is on track to hit the major league club sometime next year. The downside is that the organization has to...
Conrad Gregor is finally starting to garner some eye-witness reports. Here's one from Baseball Prospectus. Between him, Preston Tucker, and A.J....
Really surprised Gregor hasn't gotten more buzz yet from some of the national outlets like BP and BA. It's about that time. He now has 200 PAs at...
It's not that simple. You wouldn't want the first overall pick to be a project, obviously. But few drafts have the perfect prospect. Jon Gray...

Agree with this. Pocket the savings and play the draft next year. With the increase in elbow injuries, MLB is going to have to contemplate a...
Also, Aiken does not appear to have calf muscles. Not sure what our scoutin gdepartment is thinking. Hard to project a player without calf muscles.
Tropeano seems best suited for a long relief role. Honestly, he should probably have Jerome Williams's spot.
I can't seem to find this now, but I'm pretty sure today's game is the MLB.TV free game of the day for anyone who's not in the blackout area.
You evaluate Nolan Ryan's ability to evaluate pitching because he was, himself, a good pitcher? I'll trust the career scouts and the team's...
Expected Run Differential. We look really good: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-best-and-worst-teams-two-months-in/
