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.

Christian Yelich Capitalizes On Pirates' Mistake For 22nd Homer

Christian Yelich has baseball’s best batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage since last year’s All-Star break. The most home runs and RBIs, too. So it stands to reason that when an opponent pops him up, they had better make the play.

In the middle of last season, I wrote about how Sam Gaviglio was working a unique brand of success, using a sub-90 mph fastball and a nasty slider. The success ran out with his subpar heater after though, as after July he put up a 6.16 ERA and 4.83 FIP in 76 innings.

"I love having guys on third base in this situation because of so many guys with good breaking balls...bouncing a lot of balls in the dirt. Cervelli is doing a great job but he can't do it every time."

Melky Cabrera Grateful For His Opportunity With Pirates

This season is already off to a better start than 2018 for Melky Cabrera. At this time a year ago, he was still waiting to sign. He kept waiting until late April before finding a match with the Indians on a Minor League contract.

Justin Verlander K's Ten, Makes History In Return To Detroit

There were loud ovations, a tip of the cap and even a scoreboard tribute video that was enough to make Justin Verlander deviate from his regimented pregame routine and stop in his tracks in the Comerica Park outfield prior to Monday's game against the Tigers and take it all in.

The Five Best Tools Among NL Central Players

Brewers manager Craig Counsell drew some laughs a couple of weeks ago when he said Lorenzo Cain "has a little bit of Willie McGee in him." Counsell is old enough to remember watching McGee amble out to center field or take a lead off first base for the Cardinals like he could barely stand, then transform into an electric athlete when the bat met the baseball.

Jose Iglesias Keeping Gritty Approach After Deadline

The A's first hit off Blaine Hardy on Friday night was a ground ball deep in the hole that left shortstop Jose Iglesias with no play at first base. That doesn't mean Iglesias didn't try, quickly firing off a throw that bounced as Jed Lowrie hit first base with time to spare with a seventh-inning leadoff single.
