If your a New York Yankees fan, you probably never truly worry at this point of the season. But, the recent news about Michael Pineda’s pending shoulder surgery surly put a dampening moister on the usual celebrating parade in the Bronx. Honestly, I felt that the Yankees made a great deal in trading Jesus Montero to the Mariners attaining the [...]
Many people thought that Stuart Pomeranz had a chance at becoming a quality starting pitcher in the Cardinals organization. That’s how it looked when he was selected in the 2nd round out of Houston High School in Tennessee where the big 6’7/220 right hander was simply dominant. His senior year in high school he struck out 165 batters with a [...]
The Mexican League is one of those league where players from Latin American countries and the United States find refuge when their opportunities seem to be exhausted in the U.S. It’s one of those leagues that pays decent and is closer to home than Japan. On the pitching side, I chose three pitchers that have maintained their ERA’s under 2 [...]
I sat and took a look at the names at the top of the Triple A so far in 2012, and I noticed two names right away. Anthony Rizzo and Nathan Adcock have been on MLB rosters and have not been able to stick. It’s sad to see them back in the minors, but it’s good to see that they [...]

When it comes to being promoted to the big leagues, year after year you see many jump from Double A and skip Triple A altogether. So, it’s always interesting to see who the leaders in Double A [...]
The 2012 class of rookies are off and running in this new season. I was surprised to find that Drew Pomeranz did not do too well in his first MLB start. Matt Moore and Yu Darvish are having trouble finding their command. Jesus Montero has not hit his stride yet either. I was impressed by Zach Cozart as he leads [...]
The Broncos of Reynosa is a team in the Mexican Baseball League that make up an unaffiliated Triple A association. The Broncos are in the North Division and are currently in 3rd place. I recently had the chance to ask their beat writer and baseball columnist Diego Patricio Perez a few questions about how he got into baseball writing, his [...]
It’s been a long time since that 70′s/80′s Dodger infield of Ron Cey, Bill Russell, Davey Lopez, and Steve Garvey. Right now, I really do like Rafael Furcal at shortstop, but there’s nothing like hearing that the Dodgers could have a legitimate base stealing threat and lead off type of guy in that particular position working his turn in the [...]
