Craig already got to the Bloomquist signing earlier today, but I wanted to throw in my own bitter two cents. I’ve been mulling this over for more than 7 hours – I was on the road most of the day and didn’t hear about the signing until about 4:00. This deal, like the Farnsworth one, …

Bottom 10: the Guillen edition (also…hi!)
A few days ago, I lamented the fact that Kansas City’s everyday lineup boasts two of the worst on-base guys in all of Major League Baseball. These two players, of course are Jose Guillen and Mike Jacobs. A third player in that Bottom 10 list, Jeff Francoeur, is someone for whom GM Dayton Moore has …

A few links and a plea to Dick Kaegel
I’m feeling linky today, so let’s share some cool stuff from around the sports Interwebz. 1. Fascinating 2-part series from Roto Authority. You know how, every spring, MLB players swear they’ve lost weight, gained muscle, or improved their body through some radical new workout system? These articles put those claims to the test. Part I …

Looking back and looking forward
Long story short (for once), I didn’t go out for New Year’s. That puts me here, in my computer chair, at less than two hours into 2009, and somehow I don’t feel any different than I did before 12:00 struck. Also, all the cool kids are doing years-in-review, so I have to too! This blog …

If the Royals did MySpace surveys…

What have I done for you lately?
After examining Mark Teixeira’s worth as a player, I broke down the week in Hot Stove action on Monday. Then Tex became a Yankee, and I was too disgusted to write anything about that. On Thursday, I used attractive athletes to wish a Merry Christmas/whatever to Ladies… readers. That took more man-hours than I’m ready …
