I'm baaaack! It's been a long, cold offseason, but my World Series Champs t-shirt has kept me warm. And before you ask, I'm not a Pats fan, so please keep your 18-1 anti-Boston mocking far away from here. Forthcoming after this 2008 inaugural edition of Dead Soxy will be my American and National

the Detroit Tigers 2008 (via Yardbarker)

When the Tigers made no moves by the trading deadline last year, I knew their sights were set on major acquisitions in 2008. The major holes in the lineup were an offensive third baseman, left fielder, and more dept in the bullpen. I figured they might make a run at A-Rod from the New York Yankees. I never realized the Tigers would make such a drastic change on their roster. The Ace pitcher...

Should He Stay Or Should He Go? (via Bugs and Cranks)

Two cornerstones of the Cardinal franchise over the last 3 years are teetering on a seesaw of doubt. Although nothing is set in stone, there's a good chance the Redbirds could open their '08 season without their proverbial All Star, Gold Glove, cleanup hitting third baseman and their heart and soul, All Star, World Series [...]

David Eckstein A Met at $9 Million Per Year??? (via Yardbarker)

This is ridiculous. I like David Eckstein, as he's a good, scrappy ballplayer; however, in a seminar I took with Bill Ripken this winter, he noted that the infielder had, "no tools, but manages to make it work"... Well, Mr. Eckstein wants to get paid. From the New York Daily News: Eckstein, the 2006 World Series MVP at shortstop, apparently is looking for a contract comparable to the four-y...

Open letter to Dustin Pedroia: You didn't have me at hello (via Bugs and Cranks)

Dirtlocker points for: Julio Lugo, Dustin Pedroia

Dear Dustin, Congratulations on winning the American League Rookie of the Year award. I must admit I was one of the Red Sox fans calling for Alex Cora to replace you back in May, when you were hitting .172 with no home runs and two RBIs. In retrospect, I don't regret my sentiments, because anyone with [...]

1. How did you learn about ArmchairGM? I learned about ArmchairGM about 4 1/2 months ago. One day, while I was on the MySpace Baseball Group (like I usually was before I was on ArmChair GM), DNL wrote a topic about AGM. This was the message that he gave me: ''You want to write for us?

While MLB readies itself to issue its Silver Slugger award for the best hitter at each position, we at Bugs & Cranks issue our first edition of Sawdust Sluggers for the worst hitter at each position. While most baseball fans enjoy watching greatness, we revel in mocking futility. The 2007 season was [...]

Baseball Notebook Schilling Not About the Money It was refreshing to see a player stay with his team even though he could test the free agent market. That player was Curt Schilling who will only get $8 million in guaranteed money for the 2008 season. There are incentives that include a Cy Young

Michael Lewis, the author of Moneyball, wrote an op-ed piece in today's New York Times. The premise is, basically, that baseball's current revenue sharing agreement is not working, and that it should be replaced by his merit based system where small market clubs' income from revenue sharing

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that two generations went without seeing a World Championship won by the Boston Red Sox, but by the age of 21, I get to see and cherish two. Amazing. I feel so blessed. So, if anyone from the Red Sox organization reads this, thank you for giving me
