I owe you dear readers a qualifier. This is really about some of the largest contracts in baseball history that were signed prior to 2011, because it might be a tad bit early to grade that Votto deal for $225M with the ink still wet. Alex Rodriguez (Yankees) – 10 years for $275M signed in […]

Another day in New York, more of the same. What is there to be said about this game? The Cardinals apparently can’t handle the motivation (they can stick the pressure) of facing a former Cy Young winner. Last time it was Cliff Lee doing damage versus the Cardinal lineup, and today, save for a couple […]

Remember the fear most Cardinal fans had (at least I did) when we shipped off an underperforming “once-prospect” for a live bullpen arm at the deadline? Don’t look now, but Anthony Reyes has posted a 2.01 ERA in five starts for the Cleveland Indians. From Jayson Stark at ESPN.com: Ask for a Reyes: Speaking of […]
