Scenarios: Bonds In The American League
2008-05-10 16:26:00
In his latest column, Baltimore Sun writer Peter Schmuck doesn't buy the collusion talk going around baseball circles regarding one Barry Bonds. He argues that the owners have no need to collude when Bonds' bad health, bad 'tude, bad rep, and age are doing just fine in keeping bidders at bay. Like many other baseball pundits, Schmuck thinks Bonds could be of some service to an American League team in need of a DH, but the reality is that only a few teams have a hole at that spot. He does raise a good point, mentioning the Tigers' decision to plop Gary Sheffield in left field (and cut Jacque Jones), creating an "apparent" need for a pure DH. For those of us too young to remember, Tigers manager Jim Leyland was instrumental during the early part of Bonds' carreer in Pittsburgh, and Schmuck believes the 43-year-old slugger helped build Leyland's reputation in return. (Another former Leyland protegé, Edgar Rentería, was acquired by the Tigers in the off-season). But don't add ...

Leading American League Cy Young, MVP and ROY
2008-04-22 12:22:00
Baseball Happenings has begun a dynamic feature that draws on the collective knowledge of the blogging community to provide intelligence on which players are currently considered the leading contenders for the big three baseball awards - MVP, Cy Young and ROY - for the American and National leagues.  Last week, he had the initial results for the NL. This week's AL voting should be available later today.  Here is the way I voted.  My biases for voting in the Cy Young and MVP awards lean towards those hitters and pitchers playing on contending teams.  ROY determination is not tied are strongly to his team's record, but good rookies on expected paly-off contenders will get additional consideration. AL Cy Young:  Javier Vasquez Chicago White Sox  Daisake Matzusaka Boston Red Sox  Ervin Santan Los Angeles Angels This was a tough call as the Indians' Cliff Lee and the Royals' Zach Greinke have been outstanding, but both their clubs are under .500. ...
