Kyle Seager, (3B,2B SEA) – Second baseman turned third baseman, Seager was recently called up to replace Chone Figgins at third base.
In 321 at bats so far this season in the minors, Seager maintained a stellar average of .336 with six homers, but his 29 doubles show his potential to grow into some power.
Speaking of Figgins, don’t be surprised when you see this guy get swooped up by a team...

 The opening of free agency has come and gone, and the Devils have done exactly what they were expected to do. Re-sign their own guys, and let the other teams make the flashy moves. To that end, the Devils have made three moves so far this off-season, and it was to resign two of their [...]...

Thanks to my boys over at Razzball.com, I now understand why the Tampa Bay Rays haven’t brought up Desmond Jennings.
“The only thing in the way of Desmond Jennings, is not Sam Fuld or Ruggiano, it’s the Rays avoidance having him acquire Super-Two status; such status is acquired if a player receives more than 128 to 140 days of servic...

If you were snoozing and missed your shot at Anthony Rizzo, don’t fret, there will be plenty more where that came from. In the next several weeks, you are going to have rookie call-ups coming at you from all directions. I appreciate saber-metrics as much as the next guy….but jeeezzz…
The stat masters will tell you their BABIP, their park advantages or d...

 It is time to become somewhat concerned about the health of Neftali Feliz. The back-to-back blown saves may frustrate fantasy owners, but could happen to even the most reliable closer.
Feliz was sent to the 15-day DL a little less than a month ago after it took him 31 pitches to get out of the ninth inning. Although he didn’t allow a hit or a run, he showed a lack of comma...

 For the first time since 1995-1996, the Devils did not skate in the playoffs. Back then though, the Devils were the defending Stanley Cup Champions, a team built around a 23 year old goalie who would become one of the greatest of all time, Martin Brodeur, a defense corps that featured two eventual Hall of [...]...

All of you stubborn Lance Berkman owners have one more chance to take advantage of his trade value before it is too late.
I mentioned last week that Berkman’s trade value had reached it’s peak, you didn’t listen as he plummeted into an 0 for 15 slump. You are lucky he came back to life and whacked a homer before anyone noticed. SELL IT or regret it.
Buy now on Ubaldo Jimenez ...

Josh Collmenter (SP-ARZ) Threw six shutout innings against the Dodgers last night. This guy grew up throwing tomahawks, and can really freak a batter out with his unusual delivery. He has only pitched 20 major league innings so far, all but 6 from the bullpen, but has given up only two earned runs while walking one. Who knows how well h...

 The New York Yankees regular designated hitter this season, Jorge Posada, is batting just .147 so far in 2011. Lance Berkman enters today batting .374 for the St. Louis Cardinals. Berkman was a member of the Yankees late last season but the team declined his $15 million option for this season. Was it a bad [...]...
