Joba Chamberlain: Timeline Of 2009 and Beyond

When I get home from my dorm room during school breaks, I often like to see my little brother, spend some quality time with my mom, and talk sports with Dad—a fellow pinstripes fan.

The only thing I enjoy more than these things—yes I said more—is seeing my autographed Joba Chamberlain jersey that hangs above my bed.

He has been my favorite player on the Yankees since he was called up. And that won't change anytime soon.

Active Cincinnati Reds' Killers by Position

There are some players who own a particular team or pitcher.

Some are so good against a particular team that the odds of getting them out seem as low as being struck by lightning.

I have researched and found, by each position, the active players who have had the best success against the Reds.

Let's do this.

We will start with the pitcher and work our way around.

 

Pitcher

Roy Oswalt   23-1,  2.58, 206 IP, 177 H, 165K

Is The Oakland A's Depth at Catcher About To Become Trade Bait?

Going into the offseason following the 2009 season, the Oakland Athletics' had depth at the outfield position.

The question was what to do with Rajai Davis, Ryan Sweeney, Jerry Hairston, Travis Buck, Aaron Cunningham, Eric Patterson, and Jack Cust.

Then they started a plethora of off-season moves including the signings of Coco Crisp and Gabe Gross, and trading for Jake Fox and Michael Taylor. The question is still the same, only half the outfielders in question are new faces.

A new decade of Major League Baseball will officially begin this Sunday when the defending World Champion New York Yankees visit the Boston Red Sox on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball.”

Mets Hats Gone Wild: Some Outtakes From My Cap Collection

The season is almost upon us and to get myself in writing shape I figured I'd give you guys a guided tour of my secret shame. As if being a devoted Mets fan wasn't shameful enough, there is a deep dark secret I keep locked away in my closet. My love for the New Era 59Fifty. For the last 5 years I worked for a company that was a retailer of the 59Fifty. I bought a Mets hat. Then I bought another...and another...and another. Things got a little hazy after that but one day I woke up with a closet full of Mets fitted caps. Some of these I don't even remember buying.

"The Willie and Willy Show": Taveras and Harris Replace Elijah Dukes in Right

Since Elijah Dukes’ release a few weeks ago, one of the main questions coming out of Viera Florida was just exactly who was going to be part of the team’s platoon in right field in 2010.

 

It didn’t take long for manager Jim Riggleman to announce that veteran utility player Willie Harris would be the left-handed component of the platoon.

The Definitive 2010 Cleveland Indians Preview

Next week begins the second "Manny" era in Cleveland baseball. The timing is perfect, Eric Wedge had been in my life so long he was starting to feel like a relative; a relative that I routinely cursed at.

So for those who plan to root for the Tribe this year, let me see if I can shed some light on what to expect from the ball team this Summer.

Fantasy Baseball Preview: The Only Royalty in Kansas City Is King Greinke

 

When it comes to fantasy baseball, there are certain teams—like the Yankees and Red Sox—where virtually everyone but the batboy will get selected in your draft. 

Fantasy owners build their teams around names like Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, Albert Pujols, Jonathan Papelbon, etc.

They don't, however, build their teams around guys like Alex Gordon and Yuniesky Betancourt.

Brett Gardner Is the Yankees Starting Left Fielder, But for how Long?

On Thursday, Yankees manager Joe Girardi finally announced his starting outfield for the 2010 campaign.

We already know Nick Swisher is the right fielder. But with Johnny Damon and Melky Cabrera both moving on, the Yankees outfield was guaranteed to have a new look. A younger and more athletic look.

The Yankees traded for All Star Curtis Granderson back in November, and he officially will be the new Yankees' centerfielder for the next couple of seasons.
