(Graph lists the leading run creator for each team. Click here to enlarge) With the forthcoming announcement that Albert Pujols will shut down all contract negotiations with the Cardinals until after the 2011 season, commentators are lining up to pontificate on whether a deal will eventually get...
The Joey Votto Extension
Today Joey Votto signed an extension like we all hoped he would. Unfortunately, it was only for three years. I think this extension is fascinating in terms of the motivations driving each party. From Votto's perspective, he was a property of the Reds for three more years no matter what. Signing...

Morning Prowl: Lyon Gets Love, Inge's Fill-In, Unsigned Draft Picks, and Cabrera's RBIs
With today's off-day giving us a chance to take a breath, there's also a chance to reflect. Mack Avenue Tigers takes the opportunity to look at Brandon Lyon, and how well he's pitched over the past three months. How well? He has a 1.34 ERA since May 13, and hasn't allowed a run since the...
Has Jim Leyland Earned a Contract Extension?
Now that the Tigers are 30 games into their 2009 schedule, and have a winning record to show for their efforts, Lynn Henning thinks it's about time Jim Leyland got that contract extension. Any day now it would be no surprise to see the Tigers announce an extension to manager Jim Leyland's...
