Let me get this out of the way. In the summer of 2010, when there was a rumor that the Phillies may trade Jayson Werth, I was on the record wanting him out the door. B.J. Upton and Wade Davis worked for me. Get Werth's inconsistencies out of town for some value, and don't let […]
During the 8th inning of last night's game, the Mets catcher Josh Thole took a Ty Wigginton elbow to the head on a play at the plate. Thole held onto the ball and Wigginton was out. More and more ss we have seen with head injuries in sports, they are taken very seriously and have […]

When the Nationals acquired both Gio Gonzalez and Edwin Jackson this winter, anyone that could count realized that the Nationals had six starting pitchers for five slots. The second-longest tenured Nationals player was John Lannan, famous in Phillies history for breaking Chase Utley's hand in 2007. Lannan and his $5 million salary was sent to […]
