Last year, a lot of people made comparisons between Ted Lilly and Bronson Arroyo -- a lefthander who had had middling success in the NL East, and guessed that Lilly, as did Arroyo in 2006, would...

Now that the dust has settled from yesterday's ticket sale, let's go back to our projections. All eight of the likely position player starters are now posted -- and I will leave the Kosuke...

Kosuke Fukudome's rookie card as a Chunichi Dragon This projection could go almost any way you want it to go. Will Dome continue to have the production he's had in Japan? Most Japanese position...
