Prince Fielder
Fans at the All-Star Game festivities in Kansas City had an opportunity of a lifetime. AL Home Run Derby captain Robinson Cano opted not to pick the Royals’ DH Billy Butler for his team. For reasons Cano does not necessarily have to fully explain, he instead chose Prince Fielder, Jose Bautista, and Mark Trumbo. Naturally, […]
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 […]

Around this same time last year as part of the annual UCB project to make predictions for all 6 divisions, I not-so-boldly picked the top three as the Brewers, Cardinals, and the Reds (see here for proof). Based on the individual rosters, it wasn’t difficult to put those three in order. It was actually the […]

It’s not personal. It’s business. The St. Louis Cardinals do not need Roy Oswalt right now. They may need him sometime down the road, but they really don’t need him right at this very moment. Some people would have you believe otherwise, but it’s always easier when spending other people’s money. Consider the pitchers that […]

In player payroll alone, the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals cost somewhere around $126.3M, and you may be hard-pressed to find anybody who thinks that the Cardinals failed to get a decent return on that investment. The publicity that accompanies a playoff run alone is probably worth millions in advertising and marketing dollars. Win it all […]

Since “Gr33nazn’s 2011 Fantasy Baseball Guide” was incredibly popular with all 3 of our loyal readers, I felt compelled to do another one. Actually, that does not mean that I’m doing another 2011 guide, because that would be silly. No, I’m updating the guide for 2012, and this time there will indeed be more cowbell. […]
