 Brett Myers is an Iron Pig. The Philadelphia Phillies decided to take my advice, and pull the plug on Myers today. Credit to Myers, who could have refused to be sent down because is a +5 guy, as he took the unexpected high road. The Phillies don’t have any great options to replace Myers right now, but it’s expected that they move Chad Durbin in from the bullpen. Do not hurt you...

This is the Texans current RB roster:
Ahmad Green
Chris Brown
Steve Slaton (Rookie)
With this sad display of RB's and last year's 22nd ranked rushingoffense in the NFL, any RB would help this team - somebody get RashaanSalaam on the phone.

When we first told you to ignore Mitchell Boggs, it was based on his performance in the minor leagues. Now there are a lot of people with him on their radar, and you may be one of them. If you are thinking about adding Boggs, make sure you do all of your homework. Sure, he has three wins in only four starts. He also has a 4.37 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. In 22.2 innings of work, he’s allowed 22 batt...

Just after the Cards activated Mark Mulder off of the Prior List to fill Randy Flores’ spot on the roster, it looks like Jason Isringhausen could be headed to the DL himself. It’s been an injury plagued year for the Cards, who only activated Albert Pujols from the said Prior List on Thursday.
This news only helps to cement Ryan Franklin’s spot as the closer, even though he just blew his sec...

When the Philadelphia Phillies decided to move Brett Myers back into the rotation and bring in Brad Lidge, I was skeptical of the move. Myers liked closing, and had found his niche in the bullpen. No one asked me, however, and they pulled the trigger on the Lidge deal, and cemented Myers’ return to being a starter. While I can understand why they did it, it hasn’t worked out with Myers and it’s...

Remember when Oakland had the Big Three? Tim Hudson, Barry Zito, and the often forgotten Mark Mulder? Well, for now, you should completely forget about Mark Mulder. The Cardinals have activated him from the 15-day Prior List, and are inserting him into a role he has never had before. They are moving him to the pen. There is no indication that he will be in the mix for saves, and with a 6...

Detroit Tigers catcher/three bagger Brandon Inge has landed on the Prior List. What’s wrong with him, you ask? Well, apparently he aggravated an already strained oblique muscle. He’s been banged up for over three weeks with this nagging injury, and now it’s worse because he *ahem* hurt it while “pushing a pillow down behind his three year old son’s head.” The more disturbing thing is tha...

Back on Wednesday night, Tommy Hanson of the Mississippi Braves found magic in a bottle as he struck out 14 batters on his way to the team’s first no-hitter in team history. Hanson is a decent prospect, with a 2.80 ERA in 16 starts in the minors this year. In AA, however, his ERA is sitting at 4.32. His 98:30 K:BB ratio is above average, and is spread out even...
