The Baseball Bloggers Alliance now has a free iPhone App available through App Store.  Suffice it to say, it is absolutely tremendous.  All of us here at The Golden Sombrero would like to thank Julian Levine of Splashing Pumpkins for organizing this initiative, and exceeding all possible expectations.

Today on The Baseball Show, co-host Clint Evans of Diamond Hoggers and I went strong for a little over an hour. Topics for discussion included but weren’t limited to:

-Thoughts on the Justin Upton trade rumors
-We skim through the free agent class and the moves that have taken place thus far around baseball
-Thoughts on the NL Rookie of the Year
-Thoughts on Felix Hernandez winning the AL Cy Young Award
-Final thoughts on the AL/NL MVP awards
