Atkins non-tendered by Rockies

The Roy Halladay insanity.

Over the past day Roy Halladay has stolen back the spotlight from Curtis Granderson and Rich Harden, with rumors flying around that three teams are currently pursuing the righty; the Yankees, Angels, and Phillies, all seem to be legitimately interested.

Some RP moves..

UPDATE: Lyon signed for 3 years, $15 million with Houston. As I said, he’s in decline, and not a legit closer. Crazy big deal for a mediocre middle reliever.

As I said yesterday, this deal makes absolutely no sense for Arizona, and it seems [...]

1890s – Kid Nichols – 297-151, 2.97 ERA, 1.232 WHIP, 146 ERA+, 1.48 K/BB, 417 CG – Nichols won almost 300 games in that decade alone, and completed 417 of the 440 games he started. He only taken out of 23 games over the 10 year period. Not the best decade on this list, but [...]

All-time Comparisons

Over the last week or so I have spent a lot of time evaluating players on an all time basis, for an all time draft I am participating in, and for articles on the site. There is a tremendous difficulty ranking players on an all time basis, because you have to take into account so [...]
