Shut him down for the rest of the season, then shut the Astros, as a team, down. Move Beltran to the Phillies for Gavin Floyd or Cole Hammels and...
Nobody said TV revenues were a small part of total revenues. It's simple and I've already explained it: putting a team together that creates a...
Use you head. The point of the wild card statement was to show you that they were far from recently great as you say. What players did they have...
Television and radio are just two of the many streams of revenue that a team and its owner have. Judging by your statements concerning the Astros...
Again, are you serious? Florida went from a near mid-season debacle to playing their butts off and earning the wild card and turning that...
I'm having a hard time realizing as to why Taveras has not been called up to New Orleans. He's tied for second in hits on the team, with 97,...

I think you could officially classify that statement as Bagwell's motto, or creed have you, as has said that the past three seasons. And where...
Because his arm angles and release leads to drastic inconsistancy. That and the fact that he's nothing more than a number four (a number three at...
You asked me what I would do, not what Drayton or Gerry will do.
Would I keep Beltran? Yes. But at the same time, would I trade him to the Dodgers for Edwin Jackson? The answer again, is yes. I would only...
Here's the write-up on Buchholz: Strengths: Buchholz’ signature pitch is a hard curveball he picked up in low Class A in 2001. One scout...
You want to trade Buchholz? He is rated as one of the top 50 prospects in baseball.
