Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 27, 2013

Justin Upton comes to Atlanta a year after finishing 2012 with .280/.355/.430 slash line and only 17 HRs.

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

On today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I say “I told you so” regarding the Justin Upton trade and talk a little about Tim McCarver and why it is time to move on.

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!

But I have a good feeling about this Cardinals team and that is the topic for today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

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.

Are upsets good for baseball?

Or is it better to see some of the great teams of all time have their crowning moment?

On today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I ponder those questions.

If all goes well with the team this year, the Astros could improve on their 2012 year.  If all else fails, Houston might challenge the ALL-Time Loss Record.

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!

Paul Konerko heads into the last year of a contract.  At 37, Konerko has 816 XBH already after netting 48 more in 2012 and 56 in 2011.  If Konerko can play for a 4-5 more years, he may just crack into the top 25 of ALL-Time.

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.

The addition of superstars like R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, and Jose Reyes doesn't bring the concerns many have when putting lots of superstars in the same room as each other.  None of these guys are the egotistical, clubhouse problems that people associate with superstar athletes.  They were handpicked by GM Alex Anthopoulos not only for their talent, but because their personalities mesh well with the existing ballclub.

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.

On The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast for St. Patrick’s Day, I make a suggestion to the Red Sox to develop an Irish born star.

I also pay tribute to Joe Cleary, the last Irish born player in Major League History.

Jim Leyland detroit tigers

The Detroit Tigers don’t have a full time closer right now. Do they really need one with all of their pitching depth?

That’s the question on today’s edition of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

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.

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?

On today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I discuss Curt Schilling’s sock on the auction block.

I asked my wife questions about why anyone would spend money on an old dirty sock. Eventually we talked about cloning. I’m not kidding.
