White Sox Add Andruw Jones to Crowded Veteran Bench
The White Sox seem to be going about their off-season in reverse. They're lining up their bench pieces to a team that still lacks two (or three) legitimate full-time major league position players. Today, they've reportedly signed Andruw Jones to a 1-year, $500K incentive-laden deal to fill out the...
What can depth do for you?
There's been a lot of talk about the fact that next year's Wizards' team is very deep. Ernie Grunfeld went well out of his way to opine that the Wizards are three-deep at every position. Just three days ago, Michael Lee suggested that the 2009/10 version of the Wizards is the deepest Wizards team...
Corky Miller Is Slightly More Useful Than a Pitchback
The White Sox reached a couple of milestone seconds (as in not firsts) with their victory over the Indians Tuesday night. They won a game in which they allowed more than three runs for just the second time this year, and Corky Miller, the non-Thome/bullpen hero of the game, recorded the Sox'...

Buccaneers Joey Galloway benched, Clayton to start, Troupe released?
... UPDATE ... More great news: The Tampa Tribune is reporting DE Gaines Adams missed practice today with 'irritated' ribs? What in the? I remember seeing Gaines grab his lower back after he tripped up Rookie QB Matt Ryan late in the 2nd half Sunday. Hopefully this isnt anything serious. We just...
Fix the Bench!
Here's the bench so far. I assume, for the purposes of my argument here, that Ryan Doumit and Chris Gomez are de facto starters at catcher and shortstop, respectively. Feel free to take issue with that assumption in the comments if you'd like to propose some other alignment. Gomez has been the best...
Bench and Bullpen
Roster looks to have been finalised. The team is going with a 6 man bullpen and a 5 man bench, which is neat. Let's find out who made it. Pen: Putz, EOF, Green, Lowe, RRS, Baek. Not in the pen: Morrow, Dickey, Rhodes, Reitsma, Anderson Garcia. R.A. Dickey loses out to Baek's option status, but...
