Peavy and Sox offer glimmers of hope
After the Tigers pounded the Red Sox 10-0 last weekend, Prince Fielder warned reporters there would be some tough days ahead. "We're not going to go 162-0, I don't think,'' he said. Nor even 161-1, as it turns out. The Tigers, who added Fielder to...

Showalter baseball's biggest difference-maker of 2012
At the risk of messing with the sabermetric lobby, Mike Trout wasn't the biggest difference-maker in baseball this season. No, this is not just another plug for Miguel Cabrera and calculations you can do in your head. It's actually an endorsement for...

Flagging U.S. interest reflected in mediocre WBC roster
