Players Strike drags on No end in sight

A source close to the negotiations, speaking on the condition of anonymity, has indicated that RWBL players and owners are “far apart” on a new labor agreement.

While many felt this would be a minor stoppage it appears the players union has “dug in for war”. Many players seem to think the downward spiral was due to the German negotiator brought in by management.

Many question why the German guy failed to communicate several key pieces of information.

Congrats to the Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox captured the first RWBL World Series. They were 4-0 winners over the San Fransisco Giants.

League Championship Series Matchups Set

In the National League, the San Fransisco Giants square off against the Atlanta Braves.

In the American League, the Boston Red Sox will take on the Cleveland Indians.

Nationals Draft Stasburg #1

With the first pick of the RWBL First year player draft, to nobody’s suprise, the Washington Nationals selected college righthander Stephen Strasburg.   Strasburg projects as the Nationals #1 starter by 2010, and the scouts feel he will soon become one of the best pitchers in the National League.

Rounding out the top 5-

With the 2nd pick, Seattle Mariners selected OF Dustin Ackley, an elite level hitting prospect who is nearly major league ready.  With picks 3 and 4, the Padres and Pirates both went with high ceiling starting pitchers.   For the Padres, it was Luis Barbosa, a power pitcher with huge upside and limited endurance.   For the Pirates, it was Dave Sorensen.  Like Barbosa, Sorensen also has limited stamina and may project as an elite level 2 inning closer.  Rounding out the top 5, the Orioles selected high school catcher Jose Martinez.   Martinez is several years away from the bigs, but scouts drool over his raw power and contact skills.
