Francis, Reds. I ranked Francis 32nd on my top 50 free agents list, ahead of Chris Capuano, Freddy Garcia, Aaron Harang, Jason Marquis, Bruce Chen, and Chien-Ming Wang. Three of those pitchers received two-year deals, yet Francis didn't get a roster spot.

At some point if that's the situation, then I'm not going to expect anything less. That's what I expect of myself. I want to go out there and answer the bell every time out." Adding a healthy Strasburg to a rotation, which includes Zimmermann, Gio...

Lannan could be the odd man out in the Nationals' rotation as the team already boasts Edwin Jackson, Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez, Jordan Zimmermann and Chien-Ming Wang. "One thing that hasn't changed: I have to get ready for the season," Lannan...

By the count of the team’s p.r. staff, more than 20 players have shown up. Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard came today, joining, among others, Edwin Jackson, Jordan Zimmermann, Brad Lidge, Ian Desmond, Roger Bernadina, Chien-Ming Wang, Ross Detwiler and...

However, a bunch of players were already at the team's Spring Training complex on Friday morning. Closer Drew Storen was playing catch with his buddy, setup man Tyler Clippard. John Lannan, Edwin Jackson, Chien-Ming Wang, Jordan Zimmermann, Tom...

Drew Storen's hair is longer. Jordan Zimmermann and Storen are still wearing "Beast Mode" shirts, Chien-Ming Wang's got a Beatle-esque bowl cut going. Edwin Jackson's already tossed a few in front of pitching coach Steve McCatty (in the picture above).

4.79, for the Yanks. Assessing A.J.’s tenure in Pinstripes, is about as easy as figuring out the tattooed curve ball hurling pitcher. Before A.J. came to town, New York was in dire need of pitching. Following 2008, Mike Mussina had retired, Andy...

Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez and Edwin Jackson are all but guaranteed a spot barring an injury. The back end is where it gets interesting with Chien-Ming Wang, John Lannan and Ross Detwiler all battling it out for the No. 5 spot...

And that doesn’t include Stephen Strasburg, who was easing back into things after undergoing Tommy John surgery. There are also five pitchers on the roster who have thrown 200 innings in a season. And that list — Gonzalez, Jackson, John Lannan,...

Not a single elite Yankees pitching prospect has reached 20 WAR during the 22 years that “Baseball America” has created the lists. The silver lining has been that the Yankees have had great success turning lesser prospects into successful players. ...
