A Saber-Slanted Baseball Community

Jim Bowden is still the GM of the Nats, for now. Rumor has it Tony LaCava could be the next man in line when/if the ink dries on Bowden's pink slip. The Nationals have quite the deck of...

Dan Uggla signs autographs briskly. Speaking of Uggla, is it possible that Hanley Ramirez and himself combined for the best 2B/SS combo in the league? Well, here's the comparison to the other top...

Gone are the days of the Braves rotation when one knew who the front three would be. Derek Lowe, Javier Vazquez, and Jair Jurrijens aren't quite Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz, but...
