• Amaury Marti Watch

    Amaury Marti is currently hitting .424/.509/.633 in 39 games for the Mexican Red Devils of the Mexican League, also known as Liga de Amaury Cazana. Bud Selig ordered the Cardinals to banish him to there, in fear of the major leagues losing competitive balance.

This is the second Thursday in a row the Swing website hasn’t had one of their “Get to know [...]

Freely Available Talent

It’s reasons like this that I don’t like the Ryan Franklin signing. Why I don’t understand the club’s unwillingness to move Troy Percival at the deadline.
