Manny Being Manny Getting Old, Hurry Back Big Pappi. So Manny can Rest!!!

I'm a life long Red Sox fan, so this is tough, but I am getting a little tired of Manny's antics. He doesn't have a sore knee, he is afraid of King Felix's 98mph fastball. It is no secret that Manny has struggled with the fastball this year. From MLB: The injury was nowhere on Francona's rad...

Really???

Here is the biggest question that is out there in the Protrade community. Does anyone really think that the Seattle Mariners are going to win 86 games this year?

Halladay a solid buy

For not trying to make a pun out of the name Halladay, you're welcome. You don't have to thank me. Roy Halladay, despite a fairly large price, is a great buy for tomorrow. He is one of the top earning pitchers in the MLB right now. Let's take a deeper look into his numbers. Here are his curren...

In today's game between the Dodgers and Rockies, Andruw Jones is on fire going 1 for 1 with a RBI double and a walk. It was his first RBI in over 15 years. Buy away. At this pace he will be a 50% buy.

DTR: 1:00

I just wanted to start a DTR to see what people are considering buys and sell right now. So without any further ado. Buys A unnamed pitcher as i do not want to jinx him, he is pitching a perfect game against the royals, is on the tigers and his first name starts with ARM. (could be a major buy...

Perfection on the Line

Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers is a very good buy right now, and can get a lot better. He is Pitching today and has a Perfect Game going through 6 innings. With 6 K's and a decent defense, I think he has a shot at a 2 or less hitter, which will still give him great earnings.

Wow something really Snells.....It must be Ian.

After going only 3 innings, and giving up 5 earned on 6 hits Ian is out of the game and not eligible for the win today. So I guess that means he stays in negative earnings. He has earned around $-3 and is still priced around $62. At the rate he is going now, he won't reach the $30 price floor...

I just want to thank Posada

Deciding to rehab has spiked his price ... for those of us that werent holding him we didnt lose any money... but now that he is back up to 52.63 he is once again a short that should be handeled as priority. The chance that he plays again is very little, just with Matsui ... he is one setback from b...
