Unlike some of its sports sim contemporaries, Mlb The Show hasn’t really struggled in making the jump from console generation to generation. The two PlayStation 4 released entries have maintained the same solid core of the series, while also evolving into a graphical showcase for the console. The series’ main problem has been trying to innovate and evolve from a gameplay perspective. Not helping matters is the fact that its only competition comes from Mlb Advanced Media’s budget R.B.I. Baseball franchise and the excellent, but not licensed, Super Mega Baseball.
With Mlb The Show 16, Sony San Diego continues to tinker with the formula in mostly minor ways. Improvements in this year’s iteration of the franchise can be seen in everything from player models and stadium designs to Diamond Dynasty and Franchise mode. Depending on how you want to look at it, you can either see this...

With just one week remaining in the regular season and with most of the post-season berths already occupied, the attention of Mlb fans around the world has turned to the thorny issue of individual awards – which player deserves to win what. Every year there seems to be a huge amount of debate about the Mvp (Most Valuable Player) winners from both leagues, and this year’s American League Mvp race is proving to be no different. With respect to Edwin Encarnacion of the Toronto Blue Jays and second baseman Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees (who have both had fantastic seasons) it does appear that the Al Mvp crown for 2012 is a straight shoot-out between two men – Miguel Cabrera and the wonderfully named Mike Trout.
It’s a wonderful name for a wonderful player. After a brief stint in the Majors last year, Trout was called up to the...

The 2012 Mlb Home Run Derby takes place at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City on Monday, July 9, as part of Major League Baseball’s All-Star festivities. While many of the game’s best power hitters to skip the event — Josh Hamilton, Adam Dunn, Ryan Braun, Edwin Encarnacion, Curtis Granderson and David Ortiz are among the home run leaders not participating — there should still be plenty of souvenirs launched into the seats and plenty of annoying “Back! Back! Back!” calls from Espn’s Chris Berman. The New York Yankees’ Robinson Cano won the derby last year, hitting a final-round record 12 [...]...

Record 42-40; 5th in the American League East; 8.0 games back of the Yankees
The Toronto Blue Jays have had an up-and-down first half of their 2012 season, which has seen the bats of Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion dazzle, while ace Ricky Romero has struggled mightily.
Here are our individual mid-term report cards for each of the Jays’ hitters through 83 games.
The Hitters
Catcher: J.P. Arencibia
Grade: C+
The starting catcher is having a very mediocre season thus far, and is on pace to carbon copy his totals from last year. His batting average is low, as are his production numbers. However, that’s not what you’re really asking for from a catcher. Arencibia has called good games for his pitchers, has shown a vastly improved blocking ability and has also thrown out an impressive amount of potential base thieves.
Backup Catcher: Jeff Mathis
Grade: B-
Mathis has done...

The Toronto Blue Jays might have a strong case for trading Edwin Encarnacion.
Encarnacion, arguably the Jays’ best overall hitter, will be a free agent next year, and can be a good piece of bait for a team that could use a few good prospects in the pitching department.
The Jays expected to contend this year but they sit 8.5 games back of the division leading Yankees and 2.5 games back of the Wild Card leading Angels and Orioles, with nearly the first half of play in the books.
Encarnacion is right near his career prime at age 29 and is on-pace to set career highs in every statistical category. He averaged 13 homeruns in his nine previous seasons, but has hit 22 (second-highest on the team) through only 76 games so far this season. He leads the Blue Jays in batting average too, hitting .291.
While playing as the team’s designated hitter and first baseman,...

When he was sent packing to Las Vegas last month,Adam Lind didn’t whimper or whine. He took the demotion like a man, saying that he was hoping to get back to his 2009 form, the year he won a Silver Slugger. And that’s just what he did.
Even when it appeared it couldn’t get any worse for him, Gm Alex Anthopolous said that his first baseman hadn’t been physically in shape at the start of the 2012 season. That must have taken a blow to Lind’s ego and so, he was sent down to the minors on May 17 after hitting .186 through 36 games and not producing as needed from the five-hole in the order.
But Lind had something to prove, or so it appeared. The 28-year-old lit up the Aaa scene, in 32 games with the Las Vegas 51’s, he batted .392 with eight homers, 29 Rbi while and slugging a whopping .664%.
