When the dust finally settles on the last 20 years of MLB history, how will we rate the era's pitchers? When all is said and done, the list could read "Maddux, Clemens, Glavine ... " (four days of reading names later) " ... and Hideki Irabu."
The Yankees look stacked on paper, but after the loss of A-Rod for a few months, are they really locks in a tough AL East? A Sox fan puts together 26 reasons why the Bronx Bombers won't win a 26th World Series, and no, it's not just a list of 26 enormous sandwiches CC Sabathia will be eating in the dugout this season.
A Yankees fan counters with the argument that in baseball, it's the team, not the individuals, that matter. If this theory is true, let's put it to the test by replacing A-Rod with a tried-and-true Yankee third baseman who's definitely got what it takes to win a title. Somebody get Scott Brosius' agent on the phone, pronto.
Ruben Amaro Jr. is wrapping up his first offseason as the Phillies' GM, so how did he do? Sure, the Raul Ibanez signing looks like an even worse value after the free-agent market died, but Amaro did get rid of Adam Eaton. That alone should get him a five-year grace period with Philly fans. Then again, they might miss having such a reliable target for their boos.
