Rosenthal's Latest: Victorino, Hatteberg, Paul Byrd
2008-05-20 11:07:00 The Padres stuff got its own post; let's see what else Ken Rosenthal has for us today. Rosenthal thinks it makes sense for the Phillies to shop Shane Victorino for pitching, since Jayson Werth is playing well. That'd increase reliance on Geoff Jenkins, though. The Marlins expressed some interest in Victorino last year. Rosenthal expects the Reds to move Scott Hatteberg and a catcher before they get down to the more serious business of mullling offers for Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr. Trading Paul Byrd would make sense for the Indians. Rosenthal says the Brewers, Braves, and Astros "likely would show interest." Byrd sports a 3.61 ERA and 4.4 K/BB.

Indians Still Keen On Byrd's Option?
2007-10-23 05:46:00 A week ago, Paul Byrd's $8MM option for 2008 seemed like a no-brainer for the Tribe. He kept his ERA under 5.00, made 31 starts, and won 15 games. $8MM on a low-risk one-year deal would've been an easy decision even for the cost-conscious Indians. But now we've got a little HGH controversy on our hands. Ken Rosenthal discusses the situation over at FOX Sports. Rosenthal is correct in that Byrd never acted like someone who had something to hide. He didn't disguise his purchase of HGH in any way (though MLB didn't agree with his contention that they'd been informed). Byrd even brings up HGH in his upcoming book, mentioning that he resisted the urge to take more than the prescribed dosage. On the other hand, even at the recommended dosage Byrd was "able to recover quicker from pitching." At what point do we call this cheating? Is Byrd getting generous treatment because he's a devout white guy? As Mark Shapiro says,...

2007-10-22 17:25:00 Another baseball player has been caught buying steroids online. I don’t think Mr. Byrd will need to go to a drug rehab and is claiming he did nothing wrong.

Re: Report Paul Byrd bought HGH
2007-10-22 14:30:00 Written Earlier: Now, in my mind there is no possible way this report is true. Paul Byrd is one of the nicest guys in the majors. He?s active in the community, he donates money, he is very religious, and he?s just the definition of class. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Byrd bought $24,000

Paul Byrd Tries to Explain Himself...
2007-10-21 23:56:00 Everyone has an excuse for everything, and now Paul Byrd is trying to explain his connection to HGH. According to Fox Sports, he's denied any wrong doing. Ken Rosenthal writes: Yes, Indians right-hander Paul Byrd admits to taking human-growth hormone. In his upcoming book, "The Free Byrd Project," he even writes about resisting the temptation to use an increased dosage with the hope of throwing harder.Byrd says he never hid his use of HGH because it was prescribed to him under a doctor's care. He paid for the substance with his own credit card. At one point, he had it sent in his name to the Braves' spring-training facility in Kissimmee, Fla.Byrd says he no longer takes HGH and has not taken it this season.Like I assumed, he was taking it to heal; however, you have to question the ethics of what he did within sport. Sure, he might have had problems, but did why did you use it when the drugs have correlated very much with your career.Well, I have a problem with Byrd in the next p...

Yankees Very Much Alive [Addison Quale]
2007-10-08 20:30:00 Yogi Berra once said, "It ain't over till it's over." The Yankees know that all too well. They played the entire 2007 regular season with that mindset. They came back and stunned the A's in 2001 after falling behind 0-2 in the ALDS. And you certainly don't need to remind them of 2004. Listening to sports radio these days and reading ESPN.com's playoff coverage, something always seems to strike me as off. Everyone wants to make predictions. Everyone seems to know how things are going to turn out. And then in the off chance that things actually turn out that way, these people clamor to say, "I told you so!" But as Billy Beane once said, the postseason is a crapshoot. And it's true. Anything can happen! And so that's why I was very surprised to hear something intelligent on ESPN radio on saturday: "What really matters in the postseason is momentum." And it's true. The Yankees have stolen the momentum from the Indians in this series. Down 0-2 they are now back in the race with a...
