    Byrnesie is greased lightning, hits a lot of 2-baggers and is not afraid of the wall. His all-out style, sense of humor and love for the game should be an inspiration to us all; they are to me, at least.

Gilbert on the trades

We got Dan Haren and that might be the blockbuster of the offseason in baseball, especially if Johan Santana is not traded. But it cost us 6 prospects, including the highly regarded outfielder Carlos Gonzalez. And, in another trade, we lost Jose Valverde, the major leagues’ saves leader last season. I spent some time discussing […]

The Mitchell Report - first blush

The full report, which is 409 .pdf pages, is here.
I haven’t read it yet, but I listened to the press conferences and some of the commentary and filed a report for KPFA which I made into a podcast for the blog in slightly expanded form i.e. this version is almost 40 seconds longer.

Gilbert on Haren etc.

Steve Gilbert, Diamondbacks beat writer for MLB.com talked with me this morning about the D’Backs attempts to acquire Dan Haren and other pitchers. The names in any possible deal keep changing, but the Diamondbacks are still in the hunt. Erik Bedard is less likely. Gilbert also thinks the Tony Clark situation will be resolved soon.
It’s […]

Piecoro at Winter Meetings

Nick Piecoro, Diamondbacks beat writer for the Arizona Republic, talked to me from the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, TN, site of this year’s Winter Meetings. We talked a lot about pitchers. Seems the D’Backs are interested in Dan Haren of the A’s. His biggest message is: don’t feel like the winter meetings were a waste […]

3 Great Nights of Baseball!

The recently-concluded 3-game series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Francisco Giants marked my seventh, eighth and ninth appearances at “Ballpark by the Bay.” That may be a lifetime record; it is certainly the most games I have attended in one season as an adult. My thanks to Tigger, Pat and Red […]
