Monday, September 14, 2015

Didi Gregorius looked at the fly ball he hit Sunday afternoon, a second-inning high pop to medium center field at Yankee Stadium. Then he thought about his teammate on third base, the day’s honoree, Alex Rodriguez.

How Curtis Granderson is expanding the scope of baseball – New York Post

Sunday, September 13, 2015

He has been easy to overlook because of all the talent that has entered the room these past few weeks and months. David Wright and Travis d’Arnaud returned, to great fanfare. Yoenis Cespedes and Tyler Clippard arrived to great acclaim. Yet it is Curtis Granderson who has been the steady, regular influence in the Mets’ lineup, at the top of the batting order. The one guy who was there in…

Sunday, September 13, 2015

You’ve seen the ads. You probably have signed up for the games. As you read this, you likely are considering daily fantasy lineup changes of your own (because that $4,400 Davante Adams just looks too good to pass up at DraftKings).

Island hoping in baseball: Can MLB reclaim Puerto Rico? – Los Angeles Times

Sunday, September 13, 2015

In Southern California, where three teams play within driving distance, a kid can attend a Major League Baseball game just about every day, dreaming about playing on the field in front of him.

Old school baseball executives like Andy MacPhail adapting to times – Chicago Tribune

Saturday, September 12, 2015

When incoming Phillies President Andy MacPhail was asked Thursday what kind of criteria he would use in choosing the next general manager, owner John Middleton interrupted. “I’ve told Andy what he needs to do,” Middleton said. “He needs to hire himself.” That response made me flash back to 1999, when I was in the TV booth during a rain delay of a Cubs-Giants game and Chip Caray asked what the…

For Dave Dombrowski, building a serviceable bullpen should be doable – The Boston Globe

Saturday, September 12, 2015

In attempting to build a bullpen for the 2016 Red Sox, Dave Dombrowski won’t have a lot of choices, but there are enough to piece together something reasonable and allow the team to compete for the playoffs.
