Most Hyped LHP Prospects Of The Past 20 Years

Left-handed pitching is always something in high demand and often in short supply. Some of that is simply probability. Only about 10 percent of the world’s population is left-handed. The difficulty in developing pitching in general and keeping pitchers healthy whittles the numbers down even more.

These Nine Trades Won World Series Last Decade

These are trades every general manager would love to make -- at least, in terms of the bottom line. That is, trades that do more than simply give a team a push. These trades won the World Series, or at least made winning it possible.

Here's The All-Time Best MVP At Each Position

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig played in one distinct era, Albert Pujols and Mike Trout in another. Ruth never faced Aroldis Chapman’s 101 mph heat. Gehrig never got a crack at Pedro Martinez’s changeup. We love baseball’s timelessness, but so much has changed over the last 125 years.

Owning the best record in baseball since the All-Star break (35-17) and a 2.5 game lead in the NL Central, the St. Louis Cardinals are former player and manager Joe Girardi's pick to win the division. One reason is because of his former New York Yankees closer who's now with the Cards: Andrew Miller.

Is Aroldis Chapman The Greatest Left-Handed Reliever Ever?

My parents don’t like Aroldis Chapman. They’re devout Yankee fans, but every time he enters the game, they expect him to blow it. Whenever he fails to record an immaculate inning, they cry out with exasperation. “Here we go again!”

Andrew Miller Is Scuffling, & Also Great

Here’s a sentence that I didn’t think I’d be writing in 2019: Andrew Miller has accumulated -0.2 WAR this season. By FanGraphs’ version of WAR, he’s been less valuable than a replacement-level reliever. Here’s another sentence that makes a little more sense, but is at odds with the one I just wrote: Andrew Miller might be the Cardinals’ best reliever. Now, reliever performance is volatile and all, but we’re going to need an explanation. How can those two things be true at once?
