• MLB Status Check (7/17)

  The All-Star break is a great thing for players because it gives them a short break during the season in which they can relax and get some much needed rest. Only two players on this list made it to the All-Star game. They were extremely deserving of the opportunity. However, hopefully some of the other players on this list used the rest to their advantage because many big named players went into the break after some ugly performances. This week's installment of MLB Status Check focuses on three...

• MLB Stock Market - July 16th Edition

  Low batting averages in the spring mean nothing in the summer, if this week's Bulls prove anything. At the same time, some of the waves riding high in the spring have come crashing down for this week's Bears: Bulls Jonathan Broxton - RP - (Los Angeles Dodgers) : The bad news for the Dodgers is that Takashi Saito will be out until the end of August in a best-case scenario. The good news is that they have Broxton to back up Saito. Broxton has ever-so-slight experience as a closer, having filled...

• MLB Busts of the Week - Week 15

  If there are top performances every week, there has to be busts of the weeks. It balances out the baseball universe. If one player does well, another does badly. If one player does awesome then, well, you end up with busts. Some are permanently attached to this list this year, others just try to come and go quickly. Carl Crawford (TB - OF) - Hard to have much worse of a week than Crawford. A big, fat, 0 for 21. That's right, 0 hits, complemented by 0 runs, 0 RBI, 0 SB, and only one walk. Crawford...

• MLB Weekly Sleepers (7/13)

  It is very hard to predict how well a player will do. However, there are always a few players of some value who have been stuck in slumps, and then they suddenly break out and put up great numbers. This week's version of MLB Sleepers of the Week consists of five players who have either not been doing well lately, or they've been very inconsistent. Each player in this article has a history that proves they have the ability to put up some great numbers after the All-Star break. Hopefully these...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Left Fielders

  For the third straight week, not much came from left field. It's like picking the best of the worst and sugar coating it. Matt Holliday, Carl Crawford and Carlos Lee decided to step up and fill those spots this week. Gold Matt Holliday (Colorado Rockies) : The Rockies may be on a losing streak but Holliday is still playing well. He went 8 for 21 with four runs, two home runs, four RBIs and batted .381. Last week tied up a very good month for Holliday. Now that he's back, hopefully he'll...

• MLB Status Check (6/26)

  It's always surprising how sometimes a very talented player can be a liability because of inconsistency. It's also surprising how sometimes a great player can try to keep his career going later in his age, only to be a shell of his former self, while another player can resurrect his career and put up numbers that he hasn't even seen for a while. That's the kind of week that this was. There are the usual players that you would expect to do well, but then there are also those that didn't...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Left Fielders

  Left Field provided us with a few surprises this week. One from a player on a nice recent hitting streak, and one who hasn't been heard from in a while. Then, there's someone who should be no surprise to anyone on this list. Gold Ryan Ludwick - OF - St. Louis Cardinals - Ludwick has been in the lineup and on fire as of late, hitting nearly .500 and slugging the ball all over the yard as of late. We'll see how long it continues for, but for now, one should definitely keep their eye on...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – Left Fielders

  There were some interesting performances this week in the MLB, including one from someone who is looking for a huge bounce back year because he wants his team to pick up his $20 million+ option for 2009. Gold Manny Ramirez - Boston Red Sox : Manny was just being Manny; the Manny we all remember from before 2007. After a week facing the Indians and the Yankees; teams thought to be some of the Red Sox main competition in the American League, he came up absolutely huge. Here's what Manny did this...
