MLB Heavyweight Champion

If MLB champs were decided like boxing: beat the champ, and you're the champ.

The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion.

The Heavyweight of the Year is the team that wins the most title bouts at the end of the season.

Current Champion (as of 5/17):
Cincinnati Reds

  • Rich Harden gave up five runs to Texas in the first inning today, and then was told by Hiram Bocachica that he was tipping his pitches.

    I suppose that could be the reason, but I'm always skeptical when I hear that explanation. It always sounds like grasping for straws. More likely reason: the pitcher sucked.

    I'm glad to hear that Harden and Curt Young were more ready to blame bad mechanics than pitch-tipping.

  • As expected, Tyler Johnson got shipped back to St. Louis.

  • 2004 top draft pick Landon Powell is out for the year with a torn ACL. I asked Will Carroll if having surgery on the ACL will hurt his long-term prospects as a catcher.

    Will said that he couldn't find any catchers to compare him to, but he thought it was likely that there must be somebody who's done it.
