Bryce Harper one of two covers for Beckett Baseball No. 45

on July 7th, 2009 by chrisolds

Next up for Bryce Harper is an appearance on the cover of Beckett Baseball No. 45 as we explore what drives him — and a bit of the circus that comes on cardboard when you’re dubbed the “LeBron James of baseball” — in a five-page feature story by Beckett’s Jon Gold.

Real Life GM?

on July 7th, 2009 by Andrew

I decided I’d like to try my hand at prospecting. And by prospecting, I don’t just mean that I’ll be buying all the hot rookies or mid level rookies. I decided on about 7 players right now who I’d like to give a go at. My parameters are that I’d res…

Digging around in my inbox…

Ever wonder what kind of stuff shows up in a Beckett editor’s email? (Well, besides the typical SPAM and “What’s it worth?” email.)

Bad Wax Presents – 1st Round Draft Pick Cards – Aaron Crow

on July 7th, 2009 by chemgod

Next up is the 12th pick in the draft by the Kansas City Royals.  Yet another pitcher taken in a very pitching heavy draft, Aaron comes from University of Missouri.  He was originally selected last year by the Nationals, but refused to sign for the $3.5 million they were offering.  The fact that he went [...]

Beat The Blogger Results

on July 7th, 2009 by Tuff Stuff

 The Blogger’s struggles continued over the holiday weekend, as he managed
to correctly pick 6 of 10 but it wasn’t nearly enough to hang with two near-perfect
efforts who tied for the top spot in last week’s Beat The Blogger contest.

Brian M and Martin Kelly each got 9 of their 10 picks correct and then utilized
the Doubler to push their totals to 10 and win the weekly prize. For their efforts,
both will be receiving an 8-by-10 signed color photo.

Thanks to everybody for playing and good luck with your picks this week. This week’s
matchups
will be posted later today so check back and get your picks posted for
your chance to win.

For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple.
The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices for the winners
of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on
the “Comment” section
below the post with the matchups and then select their
own 10 winners
. You can also designate one of your picks as a “Doubler” and
you will receive an extra point if you’re correct so don’t forget to designate your
contest.jpgDoubler”
pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger’s total and post
the high score for the week
, you win. The regular weekly prize is an authentic
signed 8-by-10 color photo
of stars such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew
Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish Hunter
and many more.
From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for the weekly contest and that’s
where the Chipper Jones jersey comes into play. If we can get more than 300 entries this
week, the weekly winner will receive the Jones jersey so we need everybody to spread
the word about the contest
so we can reach our goal.

This week’s Matchups with winning picks in parenthesis
Saturday July 4

MLB
Toronto at NY Yankees (Yankees)
Milwaukee at Chicago Cubs (Milwaukee)
Houston at San Francisco (San Francisco)
Oakland at Cleveland (Cleveland)
Arizona at Colorado (Arizona)


Sunday July 5

Baltimore at LA Angels (LA)
Pittsburgh at Florida (Florida)
St. Louis at Cincinnati (St. Louis)
NY Mets at Philadelphia (Philadelphia)
Detroit at Minnesota (Minnesota)

A Pair Of 1982 Lee Smith Rookie Cards

on July 7th, 2009 by 30-Year Old Cardboard

With all of the recent talk about Mariano Rivera and his 500th career save over the last few weeks, my heart went back to another guy who deserves a lot more credit than he ever gets – Mr. Lee Smith!!
Before the flash of K-Rod.  Or the emotion of Jonathan Papelbon.  There was Lee Smith.  Smith [...]

It’s hard to keep up with everything.
I was Tweeted a lead about a writing gig yesterday, so I worked on writing samples last night…e-mailed those this morning.
I parted ways with ClassX…my radio program Hard Rock Nights will no longer be heard there. I am looking for a new broadcasting partner. I will post a [...]

The Curious Case of Greg “Toe” Nash

on July 7th, 2009 by chemgod

Over the weekend I was talking with my friend about minor league baseball.  I told him that I was doing blog posts on failed first round prospects, and actually failed prospects in general.  He said have you covered Toe Nash yet?  I sat in silence as I tried to figure out who was Toe Nash.  [...]
