I’ve covered the fact that Victor Martinez is out for the year. Now the question is how the Tigers replace him, and who with. The name Prince Fielder tends to come to mind for a team who needs a middle…
The Boston Celtics won a ring with the “Big 3” that consisted of and still somewhat consists of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. Now the team is a little different. Ok, maybe a lot different. Now the team…
Dwight Howard will play in Orlando at some point. Whether he is on the road team or the home squad remains to be seen. The Magic are stuck in a rut. Dwight Howard might go somewhere else, or he might…
