Trading away Justin Upton was dumb for the Diamondbacks. They are probably regretting it now!

There is some bad news for Cardinals fans all over the world. I’m picking the Cardinals to win the World Series in 2013, and my picks are almost always wrong!

How worthless is the New York Yankees farm system? They can not seem fill in a single spot on an injury plagued team even on an interim basis.
Why not give the likes of Addison Maruszak a shot?
Meanwhile, I remember my Weston, Massachusetts Little League teammate Huckleberry Keys on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Astros could be the worst team in baseball again, which is why casual baseball fans should be rooting for them in 2013.
On today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I answer the question “Why should anyone root for the Astros in 2013?”
To be cool, of course!

Why don’t the White Sox get more love?
In the latest episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I go on one final anti WBC rant.
I invoke Top Chef, “USA For Africa”, Peter Pan and Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 along the way.
Then I wonder why the White Sox don’t get more love from the fans and the media.

R. A. Dickey and the Toronto Blue Jays laughed through a positive off season. But can the team overcome many potential pitfalls to win the American League East?
Are the Toronto Blue Jays the front runners for the American League East? Despite a great off season, I’m not buying them yet. I discuss why while I buy a rug.

While waiting for files to download, I realized that there are more than one way to enjoy baseball. If you are a traditional fan or a stat head, as long as the game is loved, that is all that matters.
Normally being frustrated at the office doesn’t lead to such a calming point of view.

On today’s Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I complain again about the World Baseball Classic. But my solution for how to change it makes sense. So do my ideas for the All Star Game and the Hall of Fame ceremony.
What does this have to do with a squirrel? Better listen.

Bud Selig and MLB should be less concerned about the lame WBC and more concerned about pricing out little leagues for uniforms.
The WBC stinks, we can all agree on that right? The players going at 50%, the rules to make sure that they don’t work too hard and things like “Mercy Rules” and “Runners on base to start extra innings” show that it is lame with a capital lame.
But as Bud Selig and company try to sell this lemon, they are also pricing out little leagues to use their uniforms.
Is there ANYTHING more short sighted than that?

Mike Trout will be making $500,000 as a 21 year old. Chances are that’s more than you made when you were his age.

Affleckersley … or why the careers of Dennis Eckersley and Ben Affleck have mirrored each other

One was a starting pitcher who became a Hall of Fame reliever. The other is a one time pretty boy actor who has transformed into an acclaimed movie director.
Besides the Red Sox connection, what do Dennis Eckersley and Ben Affleck have in common? If you take a closer look, their careers are quite similar.
Both were born in the East Bay but wound up living in Massachusetts
Yup, Mr. Boston, Ben Affleck, was born in Berkeley California in 1972. He moved to New England when he was a kid and obviously became a big Red Sox fan. He and Jennifer Garner still have a home in Massachusetts.
One of the Red Sox of Affleck’s youth was Dennis Eckersley, who was born in Oakland (and would obviously return to the East Bay for his greatest seasons.) He lived in Wayland, Massachusetts during his playing days and now lives in Ipswich. Read the rest of this entry

Clay Buchholz has reported to camp and is already experiencing health issues. It is a good thing the Red Sox pampered him early in his career. He might have experienced injuries if they didn’t!
