John Sparrow's Blog. For the love of the game. Action in the bullpen. August 4, 2010. So Chris Resop is finally a Pirate. All my wild eyed speculation and suggestions of trading for him. Deadline Comments- Part 2- Dotel and the Capps effect. August 3, 2010. Continuing with the discussion of the trade deadline, who expected that Matt Capps, non-tendered by the Pirates in 2010 would have a 2010 like this one? If Capps had not been non-tendered, would Ramos have been a Pirate? Maybe, maybe not- maybe Capps ...

John Sparrow's Blog. For the love of the game. Archive for March, 2010. March 20, 2010. So, we are a good bit into Spring Training, the initial sets of cuts have happened, and many of the pictures are looking much clearer. Unfortunately, a couple of trades that we hoped would go down haven’t (yet), but a few of the early predictions do seem to be coming true. Before Church was signed, my prediction for the bench. Then, we predicted. Mets sign Kiko Calero to minor league deal. March 4, 2010. March 4, 2010.

John Sparrow's Blog. For the love of the game. Archive for April, 2010. April 27, 2010. When they lost the 20-0 game, I felt like that was the nadir, and we wouldn’t get close to it again. It was one of those once-in-a-blue-moon things that happen. I may have been wrong. 17-3 may not be as bad in an exact comparison but its just as bad, for all practical purposes. Where do they go from here? Being pounded again and again must affect something. What is Charlie Morton thinking when he goes to pitch? Any re...

Exploding draft budgets | John Sparrow's Blog

https://johnesparrow.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/exploding-draft-budgets

John Sparrow's Blog. For the love of the game. August 15, 2010. One wonders where this is going to lead eventually, but it’s now clear that the Nationals and Pirates will both be teams that comfortably reach 8 figures in signing bonuses in the 2010 draft. Apparently the Nats have committed. Around $3M to Sammy Solis and AJ Cole, and about $800K on Robbie Ray. That’s almost $4M right there. Add in the fact that Harper is going to get around 9-10M, and you can see where this is going. The Nats will be easi...

Deadline Comments- Part 3- A missed opportunity? And a flight of fancy! | John Sparrow's Blog

John Sparrow's Blog. For the love of the game. Deadline Comments- Part 3- A missed opportunity? And a flight of fancy! Deadline Comments- Part 3- A missed opportunity? And a flight of fancy! August 5, 2010. From the Indians with the intention of landing 2 picks in a deep draft. And Pat at WHYGAVS discussed. Since too. If Dunn can be had with players that are part of this logjam, and Tim has another post about the roster crunch. But that still leaves out that 1 guy, at the top of the rotation who can put ...

John Sparrow's Blog. For the love of the game. Archive for August, 2010. August 16, 2010. The above quote is from Fake Neal. Some time ago- I am positive he said it/wrote it, but I cannot find a link anywhere. In any case, it seems appropriate today, with Taillon and Allie both Bucs. I am chasing a deadline right now, so some quick thoughts over dinner. 8211; 2.25M for Allie? I have a feeling about 10 GMs around the league just widened their eyes in shock! Pretty please, Neal?

So, across the organization, the injury bug is ripping out the hope, huh? Duke at the ML level, Brock Holt and Tony Sanchez in Bradenton are the latest to be bitten. On the other side, we’ve had positive starts from Kelson Brown, Chase Lyles and Adalberto Santos in State College, and Altoona keeps right on rolling! June 15, 2010. That&#82...
