July 14, 2020What Byron Buxton Brings To The Table | Hicks Opts OutByron Buxton can't catch a break. Buxton has been plagued with injuries his whole career.

July 13, 2020Comeback Player Candidates | Players Who Missed 2019There are a good number of high-impact players who missed all of 2019. Many of them suffered Tommy John Surgery, but a late start and shortened season put them in a position to compete with no restrictions this year. The Astros will need Lance McCullers Jr. to step up. Having Salvador Perez back will give the Royals much better production from behind the dish. All this (and more) on today's episode....more8minPlay

July 11, 2020Vlad Jr. Moves to 1B | Posey and Kopech Opt OutThe Blue Jays are moving Vlad Jr. to first base. We all knew this was coming eventually, but they've decided to pull the trigger now and make Vlad a full-time 1B/DH. This means that all of Vlad's value is tied up in his bat, but he's exactly the type of player who fits that profile. Buster Posey and Michael Kopech have opted out of the 2020 season. All this on today's episode....more9minPlay
July 10, 2020Position Battles at Summer CampThere are still some position battles going on for different clubs at Summer Camp. Will the Cubs hand the reins to Nico Hoerner at 2B, or will they stick with the veteran presence of Jason Kipnis? What will the Cardinals do with top prospect outfielder Dylan Carlson? The universal DH has likely created a path to the starting 3B job in Atlanta for Austin Riley. All this (and more) on today's episode....more9minPlay
July 09, 2020Rockies Try Tested Veterans | Matt Kemp & Ubaldo JimenezMatt Kemp believes he "can still hit with the best of them". Is that true? It wasn't long ago when Kemp turned in an All-Star season for the Dodgers in 2018, but his production has been volatile in surrounding years (partly due to injury). Kemp is at Rockies summer camp on a Minor League deal. The Rockies signed Ubaldo Jimenez in February, but his comeback attempt is on hold now because they did not add him to their summer camp roster. Jimenez hopes to keep pitching with another team. All this on today's episode....more8minPlay
