When a new baseball season gets underway, most teams around the league are just trying to figure out how to survive. For the Yankees, it is about trying to make sure that they do nothing less than get back to the World Series to defend their crown. With the team that they have, anything less would be unacceptable.

Last season was absolutely incredible for the Yankees. While we all know Arod is a great player, everyone was waiting for him to come through in the post season. To say that he was robbed of a post season MVP award in the ALCS is an understatement. He was far and away the best player on the field. However, it is unlikely that he was too upset after getting his first ring.

Pitching is and always has been the key to winning a championship and the Yankees will be running out the same arms this season as they did last. CC Sabathia will once again be in Yankees pinstripes and he is backed up by three other 15 game winners. This is truly a remarkable starting staff.

Talking about the bullpen is almost a waste of time. We all know what happens when the call to the pen gets made and so does the rest of baseball. There is flat out no better closer in baseball than Rivera. He has missed exactly seven save opportunities over the last three years. Just about every closer in the league blew that many last season alone.

As far as offenses go, it just does not get any better. Rodriguez is one of, if not the premier player in the league. There are a lot of young stars in the league with big bats, but few of them are on the hot corner and even less have the all around talent that Arod has. This is pretty much the same team that put up 103 wins last year and they will get pretty close to that again in 2010.

The defending champs definitely have some challenges in the early part of the season, but then it is smooth sailing for a few weeks. It is hard to imagine that the Yankees will not come out of April with the lead to the division and a huge win record. The Bronx Bombers will be up to their usual again in 2010.

It is not like Yankees fans ever need an excuse to get to the yard. Fans can expect the park to be packed to the gills on April 13th when they play their first home game against the Angels. That stadium will be rocking as fans will want to show their Yanks how much the appreciated the memorable season that they put out on their quest to the 2009 World Series.

While the National League East is no picnic to play in, the team that comes out of this division will probably be the odds on favorite to win the National League and get to the World Series. It will not be an easy road, but Atlanta has every reason to believe that they are going to be hoisting at least one banner this season.

The Hinske signing did not perk up a lot of ears, but don’t underestimate the value of this talented veteran. Let’s not forget that he was the Rookie of the Year in 2002 and has the potential to hit over .300 and knock out quite a few balls. While his role will probably be that of the primary left-handed pinch hitter, his leadership and experience should lift this club up a bit.

If the Braves are going to be successful in 2010, they are going to need to see another big year from Matt Diaz. This is an exciting young ballplayer who continues to progress. His big season in 2009 was great news as he had to handle coming back from an injury. He is one of many players that will allow the Braves to contend.

Offense is great, but pitching wins. The Philadelphia Phillies took all the headlines with the signing of the Halladay, but let’s not forget that they traded Lee. Starting pitching has always been their downfall and they rely on the long ball to win games. With the staff that Atlanta has, they can stop the balls from leaving the park and shut them down.

Jair Jurjens was an absolute stud last season eating up over 200 innings and winning 14 games. If he would have had better run support, it could have been a Cy Young season. If he comes anywhere close to the 2.60 ERA that he put up last year, the Braves will be ecstatic. So far, there is no reason to believe any different.

It doesn’t get any better for opposing teams after Jurjens gets off the mound. Up and down, the Braves have the potential to have the best starting 5 in the baseball. Lowe, Hanson and Hudson will all take a turn and every single one of them could put up 20 wins. 100 win season is not out of the question this year.

The Braves always fill up and this season should not be any different. Anyone that wants a decent seat better get their tickets now. Make no mistake about it, 2010 will not see the Braves finish in the same position. They will be neck and neck at the top of the division and have to be a favorite to take the East.

More specifically, does anyone know how fast the pitches the 71-year-old was throwing to Josh Hamilton last night during the home run derby?

The New York Mets probably still have a horrible taste in their mouth from the 2009 season. Disappointing is the nice version of what the fans were saying about that debacle of a season. Now that 2010 is just around the corner, the team and the fans can get back to business and look to show the world that they are still one of the favorites to take the division crown.

It is very likely that everyone will have the Mets, Phillies and Atlanta very close in the National League East. This will be a hotly contested division and if the Mets are playing solid baseball, they have every reason to believe that the division will be theirs. The fans are going to be treated to some incredible baseball games this summer.

The Phillies stole a lot of headlines this summer with their blockbuster trade. While the Mets did not make moves like that, they did shore up some weaknesses to pad what is a very good team at the core. Santana is the star of the rotation and gives this team a huge chance to win when he is on the mound. He will go deep into every game and put them in a position to win if the offense can score just a few runs.

After Santana takes his turn, young Fernando Nieve will get the ball and could be a future star in this league. He has only had limited action in his career, but when he has played, he had looked like an absolute horse. There will be every opportunity for him to win at least 15 games this season with the spot he has in this rotation.

David Wright continues to be the big draw for this team and you pretty much know what you are going to get from him every season. His home runs dipped last season for the first time ever, but he surely worked on getting the power back in his stroke during the off-season. He is the best pure hitter on the team and the offense will live and die with him.

No team in the East has the schedules opportunity that New York does right from the outset. They play all but a handful of their games at home and will not have a real test until they hit the road at the end of the month to play Philadelphia. This can lead to a start that they can build on for the entire season.

The Mets have to be hoping that their faithful will stand by them in the new season. If they can get that ballpark filled and produce in the first month, they can jump out to a quick lead and be in the drivers’ seat all season long. By the time they see Philly on the last day of the month, they could be the leaders of the National League East.

Which one is your favorite of the ones you’ve been to? Not seen on TV.

I’m just curious to find out how much a MLB Organist makes.

Sports are always a topic of debate, and baseball is no exception. If you are a fan, you will undoubtedly have been asked at sometime if you think that the best hitter you’ve ever seen is Albert Pujols.

To keep the debate modern and up to date, we shall only compare Pujols with players we are familiar with from the past thirty years.

Players from the past such as Mays and Williams were great in their day, but the game has changed so much since then comparisons can’t really be made. Conditions and even equipment are completely different in the modern game.

How would Pujols have played in past eras? That’s a question nobody can answer so the debate is pointless. He has enough going for him for us to consider him to be the best in the modern game, so why bother with comparisons with players from the past?

As he is still only 29, he can stay at the level he is at, or even improve further, in the years to come. The key to his success is how consistent he is, week in, week out. Here are just a few stats that other players would die for. The .334 career average of Albert Pujols is outstanding.

His career average could win a league all on its own. In the second season he played in, he hit a career low average of .312, his worse since has been .327 and his overall average is .334. This is a staggering average whichever way you look at it.

Having played 9 seasons in MLB, Pujols hit 40 home runs in 5 of them. His worst season was still an impressive 32. The stats keep building and who knows where they will end?

As every new season starts, we hold our breath to see if Pujols can maintain his stunning form, and he never lets us down. Is he the greatest hitter of our generation? That we can only answer when he finishes playing, but I wouldn’t bet against him.

Active pitcher and manager simultaneously? Not sure.
Former pitcher now managing? Bud Black.
———-
Former pitchers don’t often become managers — I’m trying to think of another one right now — and there’s no fixed reason why this is. Partly they may not be interested, partly there may be institutionalized prejudice that pitchers “just don’t know the whole game” or some such nonsense. Black is a rare breed, to go from the mound to the dugout.
———-
Rummaging through the managers roster — not nearly trying to be exhaustive, just looking for names that ring the pitcher bell… found some.
Roger Craig — pitcher 1955-66, manager Padres 1978-79 & Giants 1985-92, including the 1989 NL champions.
Oh, I am ashamed to forget this one — Larry Dierker — pitcher 1964-77, manager (coming from the broadcast booth!) Astros 1997-2001, with four division championships. Fired after finishing in first place and no one tried to hire him! Inexplicable are the internal ways of baseball, sometimes. He’s back to broadcasting.
Dallas Green — pitcher 1960-67 and manager Phillies 1979-82 (including the 1980 champions), Yankees 1989, and Mets 1993-96. Thanks for slagging the Big Three’s arms, Greenie.
Oh, a good one, genuine inner circle HOFer — Walter Johnson! Pitcher 1907-27, manager Senators 1929-32, Indians 1933-35. Never wore a numbered uniform until he was a manager.
Marcel Lachemann — pitcher 1969-71, manager Angels 1994-96.
Tommy Lasorda — pitcher 1954-56 (and pretty forgettable, lifetime 0-4 record), manager Dodgers 1976-96 (two championships, two NL titles). And still blustering away, even now in his 80s.
HOFer Ted Lyons — pitcher 1923-42 & ‘46, manager White Sox 1946-48. So I guess here is a pitcher-manager, albeit briefly.
HOFer Christy Mathewson, pitcher 1900-16, manager Reds 1916-18. Briefly a pitcher-manager (he only pitched one game for the Reds).
There’s probably many more buried in the 19th century when player-managers were much more common, and pitching wasn’t quite so exclusive (in the early days, anyone might take the mound). And there’s probably some managers who pitched in the minors but never got the call to the show. So, they are out there, pitcher/managers, but as stated, a rare breed.
