I hate RBIs. I hate what they stand for. I hate when announcers talk about how great RBIs are. I hate when “Hank Aaron’s greatest record is the RBI record.” I hate when players are picked in fantasy baseball leagues because they “drive guys in.” I hate when Joe Morgan writes books about baseball and says that, [...]

With the Yankees recent signing of Mark Teixeira there has been a lot of criticism from the baseball world as to the wild spending of Hank, Hal, and Cashman over the last month. The problem is obviously not the Yankees, if you have money why not spend it? The problem is Major League Baseball. They don’t regulate [...]

After months of back and forth rumors on where Mark Teixeira would end up, he is a Yankee. While many feel the Yankees off-season of spending is irresponsible, they just picked up the top 3 free agents by some accounts. They are the favorites to win the division, the AL, and the world series. They locked [...]

Ok, so I said I would write an article about CC but really, who doesn’t know that CC is going to be a beast. I still have a few comments to make about the Mets bullpen (Hint: Omar Minaya is an idiot) but I thought I had to get this out.

Filed under Free Agency
CC Sabathia has completely turned the free agent market on it’s head over the past 24 hours and he and his agent are probably pretty happy about that. While it doesn’t seem as though Sabathia necessarily is getting very many offers at the $140 million he is looking for, the fact that it seems as [...]
