Cornerstone: Cardinals Ready To Launch Nolan Gorman As Far & Fast As His Power Can Carry Him

With sensors strapped to his torso, hands, arms, and hips, Nolan Gorman had a feel this winter for what the gizmos were going to tell him about his swing. He had heard the tell-tale percentages and statistics from last season, too. But once he watched all that data uncoil from a knot of metrics into a digital model of his swing and what it could be, Gorman sensed what he had to do.

Most Hyped RHP Prospects Of The Past 20 Years

Pitching prospects are an inherently volatile group, one with more cautionary tales than success stories, but the type of impact that a highly touted young hurler can have on an organization’s long-term outlook cannot be overstated.

These Nine Trades Won World Series Last Decade

Edwin Jackson Sets Tone For Tigers: 'Keep Battling'

The rain picked up at Comerica Park as Edwin Jackson took the mound for the top of the fifth inning. When he completed his warmup tosses, third-base umpire Ted Barrett walked over for a quick word, seemingly asking if he could pitch on what was becoming a muddy mound through the near-downpour. Jackson waved him off, saying he was good to go.

Wait, Edwin Jackson Is Still Around?

On Tuesday I was just casually watching a Yankees and Tigers game, as one does, and I was stunned that the starting pitcher for the Tigers was Edwin Jackson, who has been in the league for 17 years. Now, I understand that the Tigers are an abominable, rebuilding squad, but this is still, ostensibly, a team that tries to fill their team with at least replacement level players. Heck, it’s very possible they are the model for what a replacement level team looks like.
