The Astros left Koby Clemens and Drew Locke, among others, unprotected in the Rule 5 draft. That seems like a risk to me. Hopefully, Ed Wade is right when he says he put himself in the place of the other GMs and felt that they would not be players who could be kept on a ML roster for a full season. But the Astros reached that same conclusion regarding a young pitcher named Johan Santana and he was...

When a devout Packers fan and unabashed Cowboys hater such as myself is fearful of Sunday afternoon's nationally televised clash turning into a double-digit embarrassment for Green Bay, you know that it's going to be a tense weekend: ● Texas inquired into the availability of Rays outfielder B.J. Upton as part of their standard off-season due diligence, but were evidently rebuffed, as there are...

Powered by beautiful Saturday mornings, $200 million championships and the ever-present hope of tomorrow, we move on to the three longest Texas Rangers home runs from the season that was -- all from the two usual suspects: True Distance, a.k.a. Actual Distance - If the home run flew uninterrupted all the way back to field level, the actual distance the ball traveled from home plate, in feet. If the...

Jason Whitlock is a provocateur. A gadfly. The FOX Sports columnist writes “from absolutely every angle, including angles other writers can't imagine or muster the courage to address. His columns are humorous, thought-provoking, agenda free, honest, unpredictable and uncomfortable for white and black people comfortable with their biases.” Ah, yes, the old “you can’t handle...

For what seems like months now, the concept of achieving better run prevention via the power of defense has been stuffed down your collective throats. Knowledgable fans are embracing it, sportswriters are begrudgingly recognizing it -- some more quickly than others, of course -- and front offices have taken steps to neutralize any market inefficiencies that might have left it undervalued. Baseball,...

It is not a cat I'm calling but Pussy Galore. A column on marital infidelity among athletes and sports commentators defines the enemy as Pussy Galore, and it would be very odd if those big burly men were waging a war on kittens. So it's probably the vagina with its frightening appendices that is the danger of he-men everywhere. It causes them to lose their jobs, their sports and their families, And...

So that’s that. Phillips’ credibility wasn’t considered an issue when he suggested Josh Hamilton was undeserving of a Cincinnati roster spot, nor did anyone at the network raise an eyebrow when Phillips suggested Barry Bonds’ record breaking HR had to occur at home “for the good of baseball”. In the wake of a consensual extramarital [...]

1. Assuming that the Rangers have approximately $10 million to spend this winter after the signings of their arbitration-eligible players, how high would you be willing to go in order to sign free agent right-hander Ben Sheets? 2. Who will ultimately enjoy the best major league career (with "best" being measured by career wins above replacement): David Murphy, Nelson Cruz or Josh Hamilton?...

I'm almost done typesetting the statistics section of the 2010 Hardball Times Annual —over 150 pages of stats and graphs, including Defensive Runs Saved from John Dewan and other cool stuff you can't hardly get anywhere else—and I have to get something off my chest. Isn't it weird that all the Rangers' position players with long names catch? I mean, Saltalamacchia, Teagarden, Rodriguez...

One of the thoughts that incessantly rattled around inside my head during the 215-mile drive from Round Rock to Tyler yesterday related to our seeming willingness as baseball fans -- and, on a larger scale, as people -- to affix neat and tidy labels to people and things for the sake of time and convenience. Elvis Andrus is a "franchise shortstop," C.J. Wilson is a "power setup man,"...
