Padres, Athletics, & Rays Interested In Eric Thames

Korea's contributions to Major League Baseball have run the gamut in recent years. Jung Ho Kang, the crown jewel of transplants, is an .800 OPS anchor in the Pittsburgh Pirates' order. Seattle's Dae-Ho Lee flashed some power this season, with 14 home runs in 104 games. Baltimore's Hyun Soo Kim hit .302 without a lot of pop, and Byung Ho Park batted .191 in 62 games with Minnesota before a demotion to the minors and season-ending wrist surgery in August. That was hardly what the Twins had in mind when they signed him to a four-year, $12.85 million contract a year ago.

Jeff Suppan Calls It A Career

It’s one of those scenes that will never fade from memory — as clear from that October evening in 2006 as the curveball Adam Wainwright threw to Carlos Beltran or home run Endy Chavez robbed from Scott Rolen. It just didn’t happen on the field for everyone to see.

Jack Clark Says Albert Pujols Used Performance-Enhancing Drugs

He was known as “Jack the Ripper” during his playing days because of his power hitting, and Jack Clark has come out swinging hard in his new sports-radio position. He has accused former Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols of using a performance enhancing drug.

Prospect Retrospective: Brian Jordan

A reader requested a Prospect Retrospective for former major league outfielder Brian Jordan. Jordan is an interesting case: he was much more of an athlete than baseball player at first, but he was able to eventually refine his tools into skills and have a very respectable major league career.

What Did The Future Once Hold?

Several years ago, when I apparently had more time than I knew what to do with, I ran some young players through the old Brock2 projection system introduced by Bill James back in the day. I provided a projection for the 2003 season and also for each player's age 27 season. Now that we know the outcomes, let's look back and see how Brock2 did.

Are $100 Million Deals Worth It?

It may be in just a few days, it may take weeks. But the inevitable truth is CC Sabathia is going to become the 17th player in the history of Major League Baseball to sign a multi-year contract in excess of $100 million. And depending on how the dominoes fall, Mark Teixeira and Manny Ramirez (for a second time) could be close behind him.
