5. Cody Ross MVP

If there is a nicer story than this in post-season baseball this year, I don't know what it is. Ross, the afterthought waiver claim, slugged three home runs, drove in five and scored four times to lead the San Francisco Giants past the Philadelphia Phillies and into the World Series. The Giants put in a claim for RRead More...

5. Cody Ross

As we remarked here at RotoCommunity, the Giants evidently put in a waiver claim on Cody Ross with no intention of actually getting him, instead pre-empting the Padres from acquiring him for the stretch run. The Giants had no intention of paying for Ross, so when the claim fell to them they assumed the Marlins would caRead More...

5. Those Darn Umpires!!!

A bunch of iffy calls in the post season and towards the end of the regular season (on top of Jim Joyce's admitted error on Armando Galaragga's now one-hitter) have put the topic of umpiring on the hot list. The MLBPA has requested a meeting with representatives of MLB and the Umpires to hash out "communicatiRead More...

Poor Kris Medlen. The Braves hurler was in the middle of quite the season, but that's come to a premature end after blowing out his right elbow. The injury will require Tommy John surgery and his 2011 is now in danger. For the short term, the 7th pick of the 2009 draft, Mike Minor, wilRead More...
