 Brett Myers is an Iron Pig. The Philadelphia Phillies decided to take my advice, and pull the plug on Myers today. Credit to Myers, who could have refused to be sent down because is a +5 guy, as he took the unexpected high road. The Phillies don’t have any great options to replace Myers right now, but it’s expected that they move Chad Durbin in from the bullpen. Do not hurt you...

When we first told you to ignore Mitchell Boggs, it was based on his performance in the minor leagues. Now there are a lot of people with him on their radar, and you may be one of them. If you are thinking about adding Boggs, make sure you do all of your homework. Sure, he has three wins in only four starts. He also has a 4.37 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP.

While I can understand why they did it, it hasn’t worked out with Myers and it’s...

The Cardinals have activated him from the 15-day Prior List, and are inserting him into a role he has never had before. They are moving him to the pen. There is no indication that he will be in the mix for saves, and with a 6...

Detroit Tigers catcher/three bagger Brandon Inge has landed on the Prior List. What’s wrong with him, you ask? Well, apparently he aggravated an already strained oblique muscle. He’s been banged up for over three weeks with this nagging injury, and now it’s worse because he *ahem* hurt it while “pushing a pillow down behind his three year old son’s head.” The more disturbing thing is tha...
