Top 5 Prospects Who Should Make an Impact in 2021
By Blake Buscemi With MLB spring training approaching in the next couple of weeks, teams are starting to make roster moves and are deciding who will be attending big-league camp. This process makes you consider a couple things: who are these players and which ones have a chance to make an impression at the big-league level this year? Here are five prospects I believe you need to watch this season and could have a significant impact on their respective clubs. 5. Ian Anderson, Starting Pitcher, Atlanta Braves A New York native and Shenendehowa High School graduate, Ian Anderson has been on many scouts’ radars for quite a while. He has dominated the minors since he was drafted third overall in 2016, pitching to a lifetime 2.91 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 377 innings pitched. His MLB debut last yea...
Which MLB Fanbase is the Most Tortured?
With the Dodgers winning the World Series and ending their 32-year title drought, it got me thinking; which MLB fanbases have been through the worst? And I’m not just talking about title droughts. Because when you look at a team like the Pirates, they haven’t had the longest drought but they have been through much worse than some other teams. First I will go over the teams that just missed the list Recently Exercised Their Demons Washington Nationals The Nationals won the World Series in 2019 in improbable fashion over the heavily-favored Houston Astros.

MLB Mourns the Loss of Joe Morgan
It has been a tough year for everyone but especially cruel for Major League Baseball as there have been five Hall of Famers pass away over the past six weeks. Morgan, 77, had struggled with various health issues in recent years including polyneuropathy. Morgan is just the latest loss for Major League Baseball which now includes Al Kaline, Tom Seaver, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson and Whitey Ford. Younger fans will remember him for his great work announcing “Sunday Night Baseball” games on ESPN from 1990 to 2010 but his playing career should not be forgotten. The Hall of Famer was a 10x All Star, 5x Gold Glove Winner, 2x MVP (five top-10 finishes) and 2x World Series Champ.

MLB Opening Day Not Likely To Be Until June
by Tony Genualdo With the NBA, NCAA, NHL, MLS, and newly-formed XFL all suspending or cancelling their seasons this past week, there was only a slight chance that the MLB could be ready for Opening Day weekend at the end of March. But following MLB’s announcement that the remainder of Spring Training games had been cancelled and the start of the 2020 season will be delayed by at least two weeks, that hope has faded. “This action is being taken in the interests of the safety and well-being of our players, clubs and our millions of loyal fans,” the league said in a statement. “MLB will continue to evaluate ongoing events leading up to the start of the season. Guidance related to daily operations and workouts will be relayed to clubs in the coming days.” The “guidance” changed a lot over the ...
