Trades Are Brewing in the Bay Area

Batter Up July 15th, 2007
Many questions remain about the Giants and the A’s as the second half of the 2007 season begins its winding journey through the summer months.
What does the future hold for Mike Piazza and Rich Harden?
The A’s continue to struggle without an established bat in the lineup. Shannon Stewart’s month-long surge has been wonderful. The continued absence of meaningful hits from Nick Swisher, Eric Chavez, Bobby Crosby, Jason Kendall, Mark Kotsay, Dan Johnson, and yes, even Jack Cust explains why the A’s are falling from contention as the July 31st trade deadline approaches.

Red Sox Angels Are On Their Way to October Baseball

by marty

Batter Up July 8th, 2007
The All-Star break gives each team in baseball the opportunity to reflect on the first half. Each front office decides whether its team is in the race for keeps. If the answer is in the affirmative, it’s now time to assess what moves might be necessary to bring the flag home for their club.
The AL East is still a one-team race with Boston the leader. The Red Sox must be cautious not to rush injured starting pitcher Curt Schilling back before he is absolutely ready. When lefty starter Jon Lester is ready to return from his minor league rehab, Julian Tavarez should go to the ‘pen.

Jack Cust a Modern Day Paul Bunyan by Casey Tefertiller

by marty

OAKLAND – The Legend of Jack Cust has oozed through baseball for a decade. By legend, he s a Bunyonesque figure of a man who hits mighty home runs, plays faulty defense and has never made his opportunities count when he had his major-league shots.

He has teased and frustrated for years, putting up big minor-league numbers but never finding a home in the majors. Summoned as an emergency replacement by the A’s, the big question becomes whether he is a player around which they wish to set their future. It is a gamble, but Billy Beane has never feared big gambles.

Casey Tefertiller is an award winning author as well as one of the most astute baseball writers in the country. Thanks Casey, great story, Marty

Winners At Half-Way Point Of The Season

by marty

Batter Up July 1st, 2007
With the season reaching the half–way mark this weekend let’s look at the top performers for the first half.
AL MVP: The Tigers, Angels, and Red Sox are the league’s best teams. Detroit’s Magglio Ordonez has been hitting homers and driving in key runs all year. As Vladimir Guerrero goes, so go the Angels. When the Red Sox flip the batting order, managers always look to see who’s on base when number-three hitter David Ortiz is coming up. A Rod has done everything but sell programs for the Yankees. He’s a lock for 55 homers and 145 RBI’s. Unfortunately, his team has been awful the first half. My pick is Ordonez.
