(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /var/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114With the today’s Major League baseball trade deadline looming, Barry Bonds is still a free agent. Yes, Barry Bonds, possibly the greatest player of our generation, if not the greatest player in the history of Major League Baseball, cannot find work. Bonds led the major leagues last year with a .480 O.B.P., a 1.045 O.P.S. and […]
Yankee Stadium or “the house that Ruth built” is a baseball and sports icon. Many great games and events have been played on that hallowed ground. I recently had the opportunity to watch the Yankees play the Twins at the fabled Yankee Stadium before it reaches its demise and gets torn down after this season. […]
Instead of waiting until the team came home to meet his new teammates, Sabathia and his agent, Brian Peters of Legacy Sports, decided he should meet the Brewers on the road and hang out with them in the dugout. That initial meeting must have gone great, as CC has now helped lead the Brew Crew […]
As a baseball advisor lending “advice” to high school baseball players drafted by an MLB organization, you may be confronted by this tough question by a young client many times in your life: Should I sign the offer presented with me and forgo my verbal commitment to _______ Junior College/University, or decline the offer and […]

Last week, Tim Beckham received a $6.15 million signing bonus after being selected first overall by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft. The $6.15 million bonus is the largest sum that any drafted player has received in the history of the MLB; it is $50,000 more than Justin Upton received as […]
We recently had a deep discussion over whether the NBA Rookie Salary Scale is bad. Commentators seemed to believe that it is actually a good thing that the scale is in place and that the NFL should mirror it as soon as possible. But what about the MLB? Would it make sense to mandate slotting […]
While I was sifting through the names of players drafted from the 5th to 25th round of this year’s MLB Amateur Draft, a few names stood out to me. Some caught my eye because I had talked to them previously about potentially serving as their advisor and others had last names that just clicked in […]
