On To The Next One: Zack Greinke

Prior to this past weekend, Zack Greinke was represented by baseball powerhouse SFX.  Many believe that Greinke was frustrated with being “stuck” in Kansas City, and made a switch to a new agency with the hope that it would possibly cause the Royals organization to move him to a new team.  Greinke switched to Jeff […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (11/19/2010)

Let’s call it a wrap on the Florida Gators football season.  It’s too bad we can’t call it a wrap on this Cameron Newton mess.  It’s like Brett Favre coverage, but with something that actually matters.  At some point, though, enough is enough.  Today is the deadline for MLB teams to set their 40 Man […]

Friday, November 19, is the deadline for Major League Baseball teams to finalize their 40 Man Rosters leading up to the Baseball Winter Meetings and the Rule 5 Draft.  Many players will be “protected” on their organization’s 40 Man Roster in the final hour leading up to the deadline, as a preventative measure, so that […]

Making A Case For Clint Robinson

Let me preface the following bullet points by saying that I am in no way suggesting that Clint Robinson starts next season on an MLB roster.  In all likelihood, the Kansas City Royals will be protecting Robinson on their 40-man roster by the middle of November 2010, preventing Robinson from being grabbed by another team […]

Clint Robinson Is Having Quite A Year

If you had not been following Clint Robinson‘s season all year long and just followed yesterday’s game between the Northwest Arkansas Naturals and the Springfield Cardinals, you would still be wondering why Robinson is still in Double-A.  He is not the best on defense.  He will admit that, but he will tell you that he […]

Clint Robinson: A Royal Player In Double-A

When you are a 6’5, 225 lb left-handed power hitter, and teams take a pass on you through 24 rounds of a draft, you might have a chip on your shoulder.  When you hear people talk about you and they say, “He’s a great player, but he’s a little old to be playing in Double-A,” […]

The 2010 MLB Draft Begins Tonight

While Bryce Harper is the clear #1 overall pick in terms of talent, he leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to character.  Getting a two-game suspension slapped on you after your second ejection of the season, right before the biggest day of your life (the MLB Draft), might cause you to slip […]
