Since statistical information has always been considered in the public domain according to prior case law, it was a rather creative leap in legal gymnastics that MLB came up with in order to ward off other fantasy league owners, especially those who beat MLB to it.

Who goes where?
The baseball hot stove is heating up. Right now, you could see anything happen. There are plenty of teams that want pitching and hitting, but they will need to trade away good prospects. The main question that is on every GM’s mind is “Who goes where?”

Do they deserve it?
In Baseball, the Hall of Fame is where you separate the good from the great. There are players who feel that they deserve to get in, but their career stats just don’t scream Hall of Fame. For the Hall of Fame in 2008, there are many players who want to get in, but do they deserve to become a member of the greatest team in baseball history?

Yes and No
A No hitter is a rare thing to most baseball fans. To them it’s a sign of dominance to the pitchers who throw them. In 2007 there have been six different pitchers, who have either thrown one or got as close as you can get in baseball. Three of the pitchers have succeeded, where three of them failed. This story will highlight the different journeys of each pitcher.

A Phillies Fan- Hands it to Holliday!
If you had the distinct un-pleasure of being down at Citizens Bank Park for the only two Phillies home playoff games in the last 14 years, then you got to witness the superb play of perhaps the quietest MVP candidate of all time. Matt Holliday.
It’s Royce Clayton’s worst nightmare… who does he root for? With the NLCS looming, it’s important to understand that what we have here are two teams with long, rich histories in the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies. Histories of all-stars, playoff appearances, humidor scandals, desert heat, Rocky Mountain thin air, and even a World Series championship. Combined, the two teams are almost as old as my sister at the ripe old age of 25. Put away your calculators, because I already figured it out for you; that’s 175-years-old in dog years!
The other day, a friend of mine in my dorm bet me five dollars that the Cubs would advance farther than the Indians in this year’s playoffs. Naturally, I took the bet, for two reasons. First, he has no clue what he’s talking about, and secondly, well, I do. After thinking about it though, I realized I may have made a terrible mistake. Because looking at the matchups this year, I can not remember an October I’m looking forward to more in terms of the talent and storylines of each and every match-up. It’s hard to pick winners in a postseason when almost every series can go either way. But here goes anyway; JDWC’s predictions and analysis for the 2007 MLB postseason playoffs and awards.

Leave Bonds Alone?
Barry Bonds is the new home run king. He has hit 758 home runs in his career and hasn’t stopped. Hank Aaron hit 755. 755 is less than 758 thus Bonds is the home run king. Of course, we all know Bonds cheated to get there so that means his home runs don’t count. Right?
