  The Hot Stove FINALLY got hot today with all the movement in Baseball that actually involved many of the game’s best players.  We’ve got American League teams trying to reload and a certain National League getting better than 2 straight World Series appearances.  Now that’s pretty good! The Phillies made a ...

• Much Ado About Nothing?

  
  iSportacus — Authority: 430
  Let me start by saying that I will certainly not be unhappy in any way with Roy Halladay as the Phillies’ ace. I argued extensively last season for the Phils to make a move to get him and he is one of the top-5 pitchers in baseball, perhaps made even better in the short run [...]

• Bradley’s Buzz: Heyward, Hanson among best of new decade

  
  Mark Bradley — Authority: 607
  Jason Heyward: No. 13 for the 20-Teens. (Photo by Ed Gardner) There’s no science so inexact as the projection of baseball talent. We know this because Brad Komminsk was not, alas, a first-ballot Hall of Famer. (He made it on the second try — ha, ha.) We know this because the young man Sports Illustrated ...

• Yanks Again Discussing Derek Lowe With Atlanta

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 146
  Our main Yankees source down in Tampa informed us on Monday night the Yanks have been in discussions with Atlanta regarding Derek Lowe. If you remember we reported that Atlanta contacted Brian Cashman in late November to let him know Lowe was available. As has been recently reported over the past month, the Braves ...

• Heisman 2009 Live (Well, as I write it…)

  
  GenXXL — Authority: 136
  Ok, this is a live writing of my thoughts on sports as the 2009 Heisman Trophy is presented.  Currently it’s 5:40 p.m. EST and we’ve got about 2 hours and 20 minutes until the broadcast begins (and those bastards make us wait about 45 minutes after that to see who the winner is.)  We aren’t just talking about ...

• How the Lackey and Halladay Moves Play Into the Hand of the Braves

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 779
  There were two major moves this week in baseball. John Lackey, the best pitcher on the free market, signed with the Boston Red Sox. Roy Halladay was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, Cliff Lee was sent to the Mariners, and the Blue Jays received prospects. There are a couple of ways this plays into the Braves ...

• Halladay A Complete Pitcher

  
  Touching Base: Fantasy Baseball File - NY Daily News Blogs — Authority: 465
  Roy Halladay finishes what he starts. Im not going to analyze the pending Roy Halladay trade to the Phillies until it becomes official -- or at least until we know all the players who are going to be involved. But for now, Halladay is the focus of the List of the Day, a pretty straightforward one. Since the start ...

• The 2009 Braves: What Was Their True Weakness?

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 779
  Over the course of 2009, the Braves pitching staff had a quality pitching staff.  On the other hand the total offense was less than stellar; so why does it seem like the Braves are moving slowly on this blatant issue? Well if you look back at the end of June last year, the Braves were a struggling team that was ...

• Options Open Up After Non-Tender Deadline

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 779
  After the passing of the non-tender deadline this past weekend, a new wave of free agents have suddenly become available to teams. This is good news for the Arizona Diamondbacks. With their modest $6.5 million remaining for player salaries they now have several more players available to fill their remaining roster ...

• Will Wang Decision Come Back to Bite Yanks?

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 146
  So the Yankees did as expected and did not tender a contract to Chien-Ming Wang. Reports tell you that a few American League and maybe a couple more National League teams may take a shot at the Taiwanese hurler who probably won’t pitch until May or June at the earliest. Wang, of course, after winning 19 games for ...

• 5 questions about the Braves, a couple involving Soriano

  
  Mark Bradley — Authority: 607
  Maybe its just me, but I think theyre going to miss this guy. (AJC photo by Bob Andres) 1. Why pay the same money to an older reliever who hasn’t had a save since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2008? Billy Wagner is 38 and will make $7 million next season. Rafael Soriano will turn 30 this week and, after ...

• From bevy of Baby Braves, McCann is last standing

  
  Atlanta Braves with David O'Brien — Authority: 451
  The Braves’ last postseason appearance came in 2005, when an almost unfathomable 18 rookies helped Atlanta win its 14th consecutive division title. That included 12 rookies who made their major league debut that year. Think about that. Seventeen of those 18 are gone from the organization now, with Kelly Johnson’s ...

• Atlanta Braves Front Office Fails to Address Offseason Needs

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 779
    The Atlanta Braves have added two significant arms—Billy Wagner and Takashi Saito—to a bullpen that was solid last season but was losing two of its top three pitchers. However, they have failed to address their most glaring issue: offense. The Braves ranked sixth last season in runs in the National League, ...

• How Frank Wren Will Get Derek Lowe Traded and Potential Landing Spots

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 779
  Every Braves fan is aware of the overload of starting pitching the Atlanta Braves have. Having an extra pitcher is quite a luxury, however. As of right now, the Braves have six capable starters: Derek Lowe: ERA - 4.67 Jair Jurrjens: ERA - 2.60 Javier Vazquez: ERA - 2.87 Kenshin Kawakami: ERA - 3.86 Tommy ...

  My Pinstripes — Authority: 127
  Its over. The great ball man experiment. Not the Seinfeld episode. Im talking about the hope that the Duncan boys, Shelley and Eric (no relation) could become regular contributors to the Yankees lineup. Shelley had some moments in the sun during the the 2007 season, hitting seven home runs, but Eric has ...
