Best of 2010 from the NFL

There were twists and turns during the 2010 NFL season. Here were some unexpecting and amazing performances during the 2010 NFL season. Texans running back Arian Foster was unexpecting after a 230 yard performance out of nowhere against the Colts. Foster who has 1,436 rushing yards and 16 total touchdowns through week 16 is doing outstanding. Other surprises were Brandon Llyod who is leading the NFL with 1,375 receiving yards. Llyod was with Denver and didn't play many snaps but then he exploded out of nowhere with huge performances. Another big surprise was QB Michael Vick who came into the league not playing for 4 years in jail, then now is a contender to win MVP, AMAZING! Vick is now at his best running the ball but now throwing to is stepping up in his career. The Kansas City Chiefs were a team that had won only 4 games last season and last in the AFC West, but now they have won 10 games won the AFC West in the 2010 season through week 16 and were very surprising this season. It was led by the number 1 rush offense in the NFL and then a defense that has given up only 295 points. Another team that stepped up was the Chicago Bears. The Bears had won only 7 games last season and Jay Cutler had thrown a league high 26 interceptions but after the addition with Julius Peppers, this defense was a lot better, thanks too it's 3rd rank run defense and allowing the 4th least points per game, this was a very surprising Bears team and nobody was expecting them to win the division either. QB Jay Cutler was most surprising after throwing for a 90.6 passer rating and narrowing down his interceptions to 14. Devin Hester was very electrifying and set the record for the most kickoff and punt return touchdowns by a player. The Rams were also surprising with a rookie QB leading them and a very young team turned into maybe making the playoffs. WR Danny Amendola has 83 catches trough 16 games and that was unexpecting. Disappointments of the year were easily the Cowboys, losing Romo for the season, firing Phillips was tough but Jason Garett turned great leading them to 4 wins. Another disappointment were the 3 win hopeless Bengals. T.O. was great for the season but nothing was great other than that. The Patriots were also sort of surprising because coming in the season they had the youngest deffesne in the NFL but it turned out good with a great preformence from Devin McCourtey with 6 interceptions, upcoming stars in Gary Guyton and others that preformed decent enough to a 13-2 record. Brady has over 30 touchdowns and the Vikings were messed up with only 5 wins. Those were the ups and downs of the 2010 NFL season.

O's Sign Lee

The Orioles have added Derek Lee to there roster and inked him for a one year 10M deal. This will help power the offense for the Orioles who have already guys like Nick Markakis, Brian Roberts, upcoming star Matt Weiters. This signing will help boost lineup for a help in need of a hitter guy like in Derek Lee who has some power left in the tank. This move boosts the Orioles lineup.

A's sign Hideki Matsui

The A's have added another solid player to there lineup, this time DH/OF Hideki Matsui. The A's have signed Hideki to probably be a DH or an outfielder and Matsui will be his old self hitting home runs. This was a great adition and will make the A's lineup better.

Lee back in Phillie

Cliff Lee was all over the place last season first going to the Mariners at the start of the season, then to the Phillies before the Trade deadline and then with the World Series Champion Rangers. The Phillies have gotten Lee back and signed him to add to one of the best pitching staff, or if the best led by Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt, and then adding Cliff Lee, this pitching staff will be as dominate as it can be. With this addition and the help from everybody else, the Phillies will be probably the best team in the NL, if not the best in the leauge. This addition will help the Phillies to another playoff run and maybe even winning the World Series.

Red Sox sign Bobby Jenks

Bobby Jenks will now be on a new Sox team, this time the Red Sox. They have agreed with Jenks to a 2 year 12M contract. Jenks will provide bullpen help for the Sox and will help the Sox to a division title, which is always tough when you have the Rays and Yankees in the same one. Anyways, this move will help the Sox pitching and maybe even the division.

Round 2 with Wood

Pitcher Kerry Wood will be with the Cubs again, as they signed him to a 1 year 1.5M contract. Wood was solid with the Cubs for most of his career and then with the Indians where he fell a part there. Wood is just like Marmol, he throws lots of strikeouts and was a closer but won't be the closer he will be a RP. This was a great addition for the Cubs and Wood who is coming to Chicago for the 2nd time.

White Sox Sign Jesse Crain

The south siders have agreed to terms with RP Jesse Crain to a 3 year deal. The White Sox were in need for a RP after losing closer Bobby Jenks and RP J.J. Putz to free agency. This will be a nice addition for the White Sox and it will add more depth for RP for the White Sox. Crain who had a 3.04 E.R.A. will help the White Sox to a division title and help the Sox bullpen.

Padres Acquire SS Jason Bartlett

The Padres have added a solid player in Jason Bartlett to add more depth in a lineup that is not known for a hitting team. This was a solid addition however, they will miss the absence of Adrain Gonzalez who was there main piece in there lineup. The Padres had to give up Brandon Gomes, Adam Russell, Cesar Rasmus and Cole Figueroa in order to get SS Jason Bartlett. The Padres needed him because they don't have any offense in there lineup anymore and this will help the Padres to build up at least an okay hitting team.

A's acquire OF Josh Willingham

The A's have just added another OF to help there offense, this time it's Josh Willingham. This was a good addition for the A's who have got already David DeJeus and Hideki Matsui to add power to there lineup. The A's did have to give up Henry Rodriguez and Corey Brown to complete the trade. The A's will do much better on the offensive side of the ball with the addition of Willingham and others.

Brewers acquire Zack Greinke

Are you kidding me, the Brewers have just acquired another pitcher! This was an incredible move for the Brewers to add Greinke. Adding him with Gallardo and Marcum, this will boost the Brew Crew to a division title in the NL Central. The Brewers did have to give up SS Alcides Escobar, OF Lorenzo Cain, SP/RP Jeremy Jeffress, and SP Jake Odorozzi, they did also acquire SS Yuniesky Betancourt in the Greinke trade too. This move will put a position for the Brewers to have improving pitching and then add the offense led by OF Ryan Braun and 1B Prince Fielder, this move will help the Brewers a ton to improve and maybe even win the division too.

Red Sox Sign Carl Crawford

The Red Sox have added more fire power to there offense by adding another great hitter Carl Crawford. Crawford who had career highs of 19 homeruns and 90 RBI and over a .300 AVG was solid. This was a great addition and will help the Sox a lot. This will be great for the Red Sox and will help the lineup too.

Cubs sign Carlos Pena

The Chicago Cubs have just added a power hitter to there lineup, Carlos Pena. He had an off year last year with a .196 AVG but still at least hits 25 or more HR each year at least. He's kind of a power hitter but he still is a HR hitter which the Cubs need. This was a good edition but I wish they signed him to 2 or 3 years would be better. Still they needed this addition to help the offense.

Rockies sign Ty Wigginton

The Rockies have just signed Ty Wigginton. This addition will help the the Orioles a lot and with other offensive power with Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki, and now Ty Wigginton, watch out this offense will be dangereous from theses 3 guys producing and if they get back Miguel Olivio and 3B Ian Stewart improving this is a talented team on offense. This was a great signing for this team.

Pirates to sign Kevin Correia

The Pittsburg Pirates have just agreed a 2 year 8 million dollar deal with Kevin Correia. This will be a great addition for a Pirate team that is terrible in this category and he will be the starter probably or it could be Russ Olendorf too. It will be a tight battle between the two. They needed this addition badly and maybe getting another guy good would be great too. this was a great decision.

Orioles acquire Mark Reynolds

Wow, how about this. The Baltimore Orioles have just acquired 3B Mark Reynolds from the Diamondbacks for David Hernandez and Kam Mickolio. This was an okay trade I think but great for the Orioles after losing 3B Ty Winnington from free agency. Reynolds will add a home run threat to this team as he has been hitting at least 30 or more HR the past 3 seasons. That's pretty good and this will help the offense a lot. This move will help the offense more and better. With Markakis, Roberts, Matt Weiters, and others this was the guy they needed.

Brewers acquire Shaun Marcum

The Milwaukee Brewers have just traded for Shaun Marcum! This was amazing for the Brewers because they were in need of a pitcher and Marcum will fit with them as the number 2 starter behind dominate pitcher Yovani Gallardo. The Brewers gave up Cardinals prospect Brett Lawrie for him. This will help the Brewers a lot.

Nationals sign Jayson Werth

The Washington Nationals have just signed OF Jayson Werth to a 9 year contract worth 126 million dollars total. This was a huge addition for the Nationals, especially after losing Adam Dunn to the White Sox. Werth will add fire power to this offense and this move will help a ton, though he won't hit as more HR as Dunn, he is just as good as a hitter as him.

Cardinals sign Lance Berkman

The Cardinals have signed 1B Lance Berkman to a one year deal. Berkman will play in Right Field this year after playing Left Field before. This will help the Cardinals offense more and add more depth to the Outfield position. This was a great move I think.

Angels sign Hisanori Takahashi

The Angels signed pitcher Hisanori Takahashi to a 2 year deal. This trade will help more depth to there bullpen who has already guys like Brian Fuentues and Scott Shields. Hisanori who had a 2.04 ERA last year was very good and efficient for the Mets could help the Angels pitching more. This move will help the bullpen a lot.

Dodgers sign Rod Barajas, Rockies acquire Jose Lopez

The Dodgers have re-signed catcher Rod Barajas to a one year contract. This move will help the Dodgers with there batting because Barajas(21 HR) last season will add depth to this lineup who has already, James Loney, Andre Ethier, added Juan Uribe and Barajas too. Will the help to this addition and a solid lineup, with good pitching this will be a great team overall and maybe a playoff run or even win the division will help the Dodgers have a great season. Also the Rockies have acquired Jose Lopez from the Seattle Mariners. They got Lopez for right hander Chaz Roe who is a former first round pick and a nice arm, will help both teams.

Red Sox acquire 1B Adrian Gonzalez

The Red Sox traded for 1B Adrian Gonzalez from the Padres for 4 minor league players. I think this wasn't as fair of a trade but if they are very good minor league players then it would be fair. Gonzalez will help the Sox a ton and maybe lead them to a world series maybe. There already getting back Jacouby Ellsburry from injurey, plus they also have guys in the lineup like David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia and I think there also gonna resign Adrian Beltre too and Gonzalez. This will be a great lineup this year and there pitching is good with Lester, Beckett, Papelbon. This move will help the Sox a ton and maybe a run to the world series.

MLB Free Agent Update

There was some moves that helped teams in the past few days in MLB Free agency. Let's go find out what was happening through the past few days. The Reds extended pitcher Bronson Arroyo through the year 2013. This will help the staff through that time because he will be very important for them. Also the big news was that the White Sox got OF/1B Adam Dunn. I think that Dunn will probably play Dh for the Sox, who were in need for one too got the perfect guy, Adam Dunn. He's got great raw power and hits at least 38-40 homeruns a year. This was a great move and will help the team a lot.
