After the Rangers acquired Adrian Beltre last month, their plan was in fact to keep Michael Young as their DH. The understanding the Rangers had was that while …

BREAKING NEWS – No one cares about Major League Baseball today. That’s pretty much it, sorry.
Given today is Super Bowl XLV, I was going to write something about players who excelled in both the NFL and MLB. Brain Jordan comes to mind.Deion Sanders is another. Bo Jackson might be the most famous. But no one cares.

What’s going on in the Bronx? Seemingly overnight, the Yankees have lost the ability to procure free agent talent (even when they are willing to over pay) and the ability to pull off quality trades.
The Yankees, who are desperate for starting pitching, were willing to overpay for Cliff Lee this winter to help fill the need, but he took less money to go to Philadelphia. It’s not like Lee guy …

Will Mike Stanton of the Florida Marlins become only the third baseball player in history to hit 40 home runs in a season at age 21 or younger? If he does he’ll join Hall of Famers Mel Ott (42 HR’s in 1929 at age 20) and Eddie Mathews (47 HR’s in 1953 at age 21) as the only players in baseball history to hit at least 40 homers at age …
