...years, Rico Carty. Rico Carty went from being the best player in the league one year, to being injured or useless the next year. It was pretty much a regular thing for a long period of time. As a model of inconsistency, he was it. [More recently, ex-New York Yankee third baseman Scott Brosius, MVP of the 1998 World Series, gets a miserable "D+" consistency grade from James. Ex-outfielder Eric Davis, a two-time All-Star and solid player throughout his 17 seasons from 1984-2001, gets just...
...February 13, three players named in the report - former New York Yankee teammates Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, and Chuck Knoblauch - plus two key sources for Mitchell, ex-New York Mets clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski and personal trainer Brian McNamee, are scheduled to testify before the House committee.

...pitchers are the ones who should benefit most from the extended prep, as they can power up their arms, which will take a beating during the long grind ahead. But ex-New York Mets general manager Steve Phillips says, "Pitchers complain about it too." Phillips thinks spring training is excessive for the position players, but insists the pitchers need the six weeks. But look at 1995. That year the players' strike was resolved in the spring, and everyone - pitchers and position players alike - got just three weeks to prepare. Lo and behold, no one's arm melted...
Broadmoor—like the rest of New Orleans—wants to be reborn. But first, it must submit a proposal to the Bring New Orleans Back Commission, a group of community experts and prominent ex-New Orleanians appointed by the mayor to shape the face of the rebuilt city...
