  • Lincecum, Hernandez Still Elite
    March 23, 2012

    Here are the top starting pitching options following Roy Halladay, Justin Verlander, Cliff Lee, Jared Weaver and Clayton Kershaw.

    6.  Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners:

    Hernandez unfortunately pitches for the team that scored the least runs in the league in 2011, so you can’t expect a lot of wins for King Felix.  Having said that, he typically pitches very deep into the game, racks up strikeouts and wins just about every time the Mariners put up any runs.

  • Yanks Still Cream of the Crop
    February 10, 2012

    You may not like them, in fact you may hate them, but the New York Yankees are going to be right back in the thick of things in 2012.  Though the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays are obviously not going anywhere any time soon, the Pinstripes once again have the most dangerous roster in the ultra-competitive A.L. East, if not the entire league.  Led by Robinson Cano, the Yankees have a great collection of young and older talent on offense, which easily put them in the running for top offensive team in the league.  Pitching wise, the Yankees also made a great move in trading Jesus Montero for flame-throwing youngster Michael Pineda, who should eventually give them a very strong second starter.

  • All-Around Hitters on Display in 2011
    September 27, 2011
