It is Valentine’s Day and what better way to spend the day than with former Montreal Expos star Ellis Valentine?
He joins The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast to talk about his days with Montreal, his rivalry with Gary Carter and baseball returning to Olympic Stadium this spring for an exhibition game.
And I got to tell him that I voted for him in the All Star Game and his 3D card was a staple in my cereal box!

Derek Jeter announced his retirement today and that threw a wrench on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast schedule.
His great career is wrapping up. How long will the celebration be? Who will take his place? And should Jeremy Giambi just not watch ANY baseball this year?

Last week, I had a wonderful time interviewing former big league left hander Rudy May on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
He was a generous, funny and entertaining man to interview and we probably could have talked for another hour.
I decided to put all three parts of our interview on 1 page. Read the rest of this entry

On today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I take a quick glimpse at the Face of Baseball off season competition.
It doesn’t really interest me, but some people are really getting into it. I support anything that gets people talking about baseball in the off season. But I also believe it illustrates the need to start the season with the All Star Game.

@sullybaseball Sunday request: should baseball writers now be applying a moral filter to HOF votes when they didn’t for guys like T. Yawkey?
— Kenny Mack (@KennyMack1) February 1, 2014
Pushing my buttons as only a friend can do, Kenny knows that Tom Yawkey in the Hall of Fame is more offensive than any juicer.
But are performing enhancing drugs even the biggest shame in Baseball history?
I argue they don’t even earn the Bronze medal.

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I am joined by former big league pitcher Rudy May.
Rudy pitched for 16 seasons in the big leagues along side many future Hall of Famers and for some of the best managers in baseball history.
In part one of our conversation, we discuss his days with the Montreal Expos and the Baltimore Orioles. He relays stories about pitching for the great Earl Weaver and knocking down Lou Brock on “Lou Brock Day” in St. Louis.

Why is it that post-season success & championships are much greater factors when evaluating NFL players vs MLB players?
— High Heat Stats (@HighHeatStats) February 2, 2014
It is harder to use stats to evaluate the worth of an NFL player compared to a baseball player. Perhaps “counting the rings” is more relevant for that reason.

In 2019, Michael Young will be eligible for the Hall of Fame.
He will have detractors and supporters as his candidacy falls somewhere in “on the bubble” territory.
The debate will be endless, like the Jack Morris back and forth. But that will be a welcome distraction from the never ending Steroid controversy in Cooperstown.

It may seem counter productive and sacrilegious, but sometimes wanting your club to fall on its face isn’t such a bad thing. But the circumstances have to be right.

The Rest Of The Best Free Agents Are Now Up For Auction: Some Deals Already Done
Grant Balfour has recently been throwing verbal jabs to the Orioles on XM Radio concerning the club bowing out of his 2 YRs/$15 MIL deal – and justifiably so. The Orioles lost credibility around the league for this bow out maneuver. Now Balfour will look to administer some payback to the O’s 19 times a year for the 2014 and 2015 campaings. The Aussie just signed a 2 Year Deal – to return to the Rays for $12 MIL.

It was a tough time being an MLB fan the last 3 or 4 weeks – waiting for the Masahiro Tanaka deal to get done.
As of today, we are about 18 days away from Pitchers and Catchers to report.
With the logjam now being freed up with the Japanese superstar being inked to a deal with New York, a bevy of transactions have already occurred.
Grant Balfour is all set to sign a 2 YR deal worth $12 MIL, and will be ready to stick it to the Baltimore Orioles 19 times a year for the next 2 campaigns. Read the rest of this entry

They are naming the new award for baseball leadership after Bud Selig?
Why not also name the relief pitcher award for Armando Benitez?
Am I on Earth?

What The Yankees Signing Masahiro Tanaka Means For The Current Roster + The Luxury Tax Threshold
Once again, the Yankees have forked out the most money top acquire a Starting Pitcher. Masahiro Tanaka agreed to a 7 YR/$155 MIL deal with the Bronx Bombers. When you add the $20 MIL posting fee, it comes out to $175 MIL for just 7 Years. The Japanese superstar has a player opt out after 4 years (after the 2017 season). It is the biggest ever contract for an American League Pitcher – and the largest sum ever granted for a Right Handed Pitcher (Open Market – doesn’t count extenssions) in the history of Major League Baseball. The 25 Year Old also is now in possession of the 18th biggest contract in MLB history. With the signing of the player, the Yankees have pushed their 2014 Luxury Tax AAV to roughly $196 MIL.

The Yankees had to have Masahiro Tanaka for the team going forward. It is a risk so worth taking. There is not a litany of 25 Year Old Starting Pitchers that have the repertoire of this guy.
Due to poor drafting – and mismanagement of several other young phenoms like Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain, the club couldn’t produce a legitimate #2 or #3 starter out of their own system.
The team has also traded a guy like Ian Kennedy, who has thrived in another atmosphere. But this is the Yankees way.
This was their only alternative.

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I discuss bias and impartiality.
@sullybaseball no thanks. Plenty of other stuff to do with my day than to listen to some biased nobodies talk shit about the angels.
— Michael Reed (@mikeareed34) January 8, 2014
Being called biased kind of hurt. I will never be impartial, but my impartiality will be tempered by a lack of bias.
Does that make sense?
I hope so.

@sullybaseball The money is fine but would you give 7 years to a pitcher?

Usually I would NEVER give a seven year contract to a pitcher, but Clayton Kershaw is not your usual pitcher.
I think the contract is justified. Listen in to find out why.

Whether it was the bullpen, the steroid era or waiver wire deals, LaRussa’s paths can be felt to this very day.
