Mugshot Purgatory: Old Faces with New Caps

March 11th, 2008, 17 Comments

As I have commented, my professional education obligations prevent me from doing as much on the MPs as I did last year, but I'll be looking at this year's mugshots, so I might as well post them.
Here are the players that aren't with the team this year (and are with another team). [...]

Mugshot Purgatory: 2007 NL Champion Colorado Rockies

October 24th, 2007, 12 Comments

This is obviously who I'm cheering for, even though as of Sept 30, I knew like 5 of these dudes. If you need to know who is on the AL champs, the loathed BoSox, well, I looked at them in early May. [Note: Roster may not be the same. [Subnote: I may not care.]] [...]

Mugshot Purgatory: Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles

July 20th, 2007, 18 Comments

Allright, you're an LA team, I get it. I actually liked the fact that this team claimed Anaheim as a home, the Green Bay of MLB. The small town with a bona-fide major league ballclub. Eh, no more. I'm over it and this is the last time I make a joke [...]

Mugshot Purgatory: Yanquis 2

July 2nd, 2007, 2 Comments

I did an MP of these guys before, but that I was before I found my resources. Here are some more details.
Probable Starters: Roger Clemens, Chien-Ming Wang, Mike Mussina, Kei Igawa.

(Clemens '07, '05; Wang '07, '06, '05; Mussina '07, '06, '05; Igawa '07, '06)
Clemens had an '06 photoshop that looks like the '07 [...]

Mugshot Purgatory: Detroit Tigers #2

June 29th, 2007, 1 Comment

I did a half-baked look at the Tigers earlier this season. This didn't feature the whole roster, just a few select players. Here's a few more.
Probables: Verlander (featured before), Andrew Miller, and Bonderman (featured before).

(Miller '07)
The Tigers swapped their guy Wilfredo Ledezma for former Brave Macay McBride

(Ledezma '07PS-ATL, '07, '06; McBride '07PS-DET, '07, [...]

Mugshot Purgatory: Toronto Jays #2

June 25th, 2007, 8 Comments

I already did a Mugshot Purgatory for the Jays, (see here). However, I've got a few more resources now, and they've had a lot of roster moves.
Probables: Roy "ALCY03" Halladay (who was on the DL last time with appendicitis), Shaun Marcum and Josh Towers (who were missed because their spots in the rotation didn't [...]

Mugshot Purgatory: Florida Marlins

June 22nd, 2007, 20 Comments

Castillo goes home... This team has had so many roster ups and downs this year that a lot of the 25-man roster wasn't even on the 40-man in spring training and so there are a lot of ad hoc 2007 mugshots. I'll state right here that the AAA pics are from the Albuquerque Isotopes [...]

Mugshot Purgatory: New York City Metropolitans

Black underbills for all.
   Boo
Very well, no black underbills for anyone.
   Boo
Black underbills for some, miniature American flags for others.
   Yay

(Flags)
Probable Starters: John "the Smirk" Maine, Jorge Sosa, and Oliver Perez.

(Maine '07, '06, '05; Sosa '07, '06, '04; Perez '07, '06, '05)
I miss Perez's beard.
Other Starters: Tom Glavine and former ChiSok Orlando "Le Duc" Hernandez.

(Glavine '07, '06, [...]

Mugshot Purgatory: Philadelphia Phillies

June 15th, 2007, 14 Comments

The Twins host the Brewers for an interleague series, but I already previewed them and their roster hasn't changed much. I didn't go over their minor-leaguers, but those aren't really that important, I just thow them in for fun.
However, before we get to the Phillies, there have been three roster moves for the Brewers.
1. [...]
