Marlins Release McPherson

Zach Edey is going to be a guy that NBA teams can trust to contribute in a big way on offense, it'll just be extremely matchup dependent whether he can stay on the floor on defense.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Has Been Waiting For This

by Kevin Yeung

Jaime Jaquez Jr. is playing meaningful playoff minutes as a rookie, showing that craft has perhaps become an underrated quality in the draft, compared to more traditional traits such as wingspan, athleticism or shooting.

Panic! In The NBA Playoffs

After a dull weekend of Game 1s, a doubleheader between Knicks/Sixers and then Nuggets/Lakers delivered an excess of drama. You never know when a basketball cult might be formed or broken.

Basketball's Best Weekend: A Review

On the Cavaliers doing to the Magic what the Knicks did to them last season, Milwaukee saving up their competitive juices, New York's rabid hustle cult, Minnesota vanquishing their playoff inexperience, a nerve-inducing game in OKC and more.

no he was a 29 year old who has played a half a season in the big leagues... he hit 40+ hrs in the thin air of Albuquerque last year, but he probably he is a career Crash Jensen

strikes out an awful lot, lot of power

I was probably confusing him with another prospect of ours at 3B then. --- Thanks Lane!

no no, he was a "hot shot prospect" at plenty of times during his time spent w/ the Angels and his short time spent with us...and he's 28, not 29 btw...

I didn't understand the move on our part unless he asked for it - we were paying him almost nothing. The giants picked him up after we dumped him...i read that they expect to see him in the big leagues real soon.

he was out of options so he couldn't be demoted, and they added a more versatile lefty in Gload who had experience pinch hitting and plays both corner OF spots and 1st base... I don't blame them. They wanted to keep Bonifacio, and had Helms signed through next year, he had no spot on the team.
