    Andruw Jones, John Schuerholz Elected to Braves HOF

    I'm not one who lives and dies by WAR, but in Jones' case, it is pretty apparent that he is not as hall of fame player. From 1998 to 2006, his WAR was 54.6, averaging just over 6 wins per year over that period. His peak was rather short. He had 5 all star appearances and five 6+ win seasons...

    Mike Trout committed to stealing more bases again

    He has bulked up quite a bit. It doesn't appear to have hurt his foot-speed though. He is now in a spot in the batting order where the stolen base is not as important.

    Jimmy Rollins to White Sox

    If Rollins has anything left, he could be a good fit for the Sox. If not, they will find out soon enough.

    Miami Marlins: No facial hair

    Some think that the "corporate" image of the Yankees is more professional. Others think that it is not a big deal if players have beards and mustaches. I wear a beard and it doesn't affect much for me.

    Dodgers sign Cuban Pitcher for $30M

    I have heard a few reports on this guy and the jury is out as to his real value. Some say he will need to be a bullpen arm, others say he might be a useful starter. No one, so far, thinks he will be a "stud" pitcher.

    Athletics Acquire Khris Davis

    Davis is a decent player, but his power numbers will likely suffer from having to play in O.Co. Some of the balls that go out of Miller Park will be loud outs in Oakland. Both Derby and Nottingham are a couple of years away, but they could both be contributors in Milwaukee.

    Mets' Jenrry Mejia Banned For Life For PED Use

    The drug he was caught with is not something that you can get by mistake. It is an steroid that must be injected. You can't get it at GNC.

    Orioles Nearing a Deal with Gallardo

    The Orioles have been in negotiations with Gallardo's agent and hope that a deal can be reached today. They are still interested in adding a bat -- Dexter Fowler, Jay Bruce and Pedro Alvarez have been discussed and are possibilities.

    Young Players -- Do or Die Seasons

    Each team has that prospect that appears to be a quad-A player -- one that has nothing left to prove in the minors, but has not shown that they can be a consistent major leaguer. The Twins have 3 -- Danny Santana, Kennys Vargas and Oswaldo Arcia. Which other players fit this discription?

    Tyler Clippard to Arizona

    Another solid arm for their bullpen. They have strengthened their rotation this winter and have also helped their pen. With their offense and defense, they should have a very good season.

    Joel Peralta to Mariners

    He's always been solid, but not spectacular. He could help a lot.

    Mat Latos to White Sox

    He might be able to pick up 180 innings for the Sox. I would look for him to have an ERA of about 4.50 or so and win 7 or 8 games.

    ADFS MLB Rankings: #2 Starting Pitcher

    Arrieta is a good one and seems to have figured it out, but I'll take Greinke. He has a much longer track record.

    The 2016 Yankees

    Its going to be tough to determine which direction for the Yankees to go at 1B after Tex' contract expires this season. They were hoping to see what Bird could do in an extended time, but that will have to wait now.

    The 2016 Yankees

    Bird will have to wait for another season to show what he can do. He's going to miss the year following shoulder surgery for a torn labrum.
