I sincerely hope the Flyers claim Emil Andrae off waivers, not only because it'd be a cool story, but also because he'd bring exactly what this team needs on defense right now #LetsGoFlyers thehockeynews.com/nhl/philad…

Carl Yastrzemski plays first base on this Red Sox all time lineup even though he started in left, which leaves left for Ted Williams. Tris Speaker is in center from 1907, Dustin Pedroia is at second and Roger Clemens starts. Is there anyone you would swap in?

The rookie is delivering. Michael Brandsegg-Nygård is a TOP-5 #LGRW forward by points, goals, assists, primary points (6), and T-2nd by EV points (9). Despite ranking just 8th by minutes per night

Kyle Palmieri hasn't recorded a point in three straight and is off to a sluggish start coming off a torn ACL last season. But he's still seeing plenty of ice time, getting shots and should be due for an uptick based on his xGF. #FantasyHockey #Islanders

Juan González won two MVPs for the Rangers, in 1996 and 1998, and he joins Pudge, Beltré and Palmeiro in the S tier. Nolan Ryan struck out his 5,000th batter in a Texas uniform in 1989 and is down in C with Teixeira and Cruz, below Alex Rodriguez in A. Where does Ryan belong?
