9 Phony Martyrs of the Left

Every religion has its martyrs, and so it is with the American Left. Myths have been built around myriad “wronged” radicals/communists and endless ink spilled about the injustice of their fate. Indeed, when I looked at more than 15 mainstream U.S. college history textbooks several years ago for my 48 Liberal Lies of American History, almost all of them flatly stated or strongly implied that Sacco and Vanzetti, the Rosenbergs, and Alger Hiss, among others, were prosecuted only for their ideology, not for their crimes. In fact, the leftist hall of shame is filled with culprits who were actually guilty. Below is a list of nine of the most infamous leftist criminals in modern American history and the facts surrounding their cases.

1. The Rosenbergs.

When even a communist dictator tells you that Julius and Ethyl Rosenberg were Soviet spies, you’d think the Left would have to believe him. Nikita Khrushchev, one-time premier of the USSR, said the Rosenbergs “provided very significant help in accelerating the production of our atomic bomb.”

Julius and Ethyl Rosenberg slipped atomic bomb secrets, including the famous schematic of the first bomb’s design, to other Soviet agents and by all accounts took five years off the Russians’  a-bomb project. Yet mainstream textbooks such as Marc C. Carnes and John A. Garraty’s American Destiny insist the Rosenbergs were “not major spies” and “the information they provided was not important.” However, Martin Sobell, a long-time friend of the Rosenbergs and co-defendant at their trial, finally admitted that both he and Julius were Soviet agents. One of the Rosenberg sons, Michael Meerpol, who had also maintained his parents’ innocence, simply stated, “I have no reason to doubt Marty.”

2. The McNamara Brothers.

No, this isn’t a movie about Irish thugs, but rather the true story of John (“J. J.”) and James (“J. B.”) McNamara, two union members who bombed the Los Angeles Times building in 1911, killing 21 innocent newspaper employees and injuring over 100 more. Both were found guilty, and James admitted setting the bomb, for which he got life in prison. His accomplice, John, served 15 years in prison and went back to being a union organizer. Some people never learn.

Of course the labor movement saw them as martyrs; a film “A Martyr to His Cause” was made of the bombing, and for a while Labor Day was renamed “McNamara Day.” Another accomplice, Ortie McManigal, the union leader directing the Iron Workers’ bombing campaign—yes, you heard right—ratted out the McNamaras and other union thugs. Clarence Darrow, brought in to defend the pair at the incredible price of $350,000 (nearly $8 million in 2012 bucks) soon had doubts about James’s testimony. Perhaps that was what led him to attempt to bribe a juror, for which the head of the defense team was arrested, even though Darrow was seen passing the bills.

Leftist activist Lincoln Steffens traveled to L.A. to interview the pair, but was convinced also that they were guilty. When Lincoln Steffens and Clarence Darrow conclude you are guilty, it’s a good bet you are.

3. Alger Hiss.

History books make poor Alger into a pathetic figure wrongly put in jail for a minor charge while his accuser, Whitaker Chambers, “wrote a bestseller.” Most textbooks still claim the trial was “controversial.” Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy, period, and was only caught when his fellow agent, Whitaker Chambers, found a conscience and exposed him.

Hiss had worked at a variety of important State Department positions, and had helped draft the organization of the United Nations. Called before the House Un-American Affairs Committee (HUAC) to answer Chambers’ charges, Hiss claimed he had not known Chambers. Had he stopped there, he would have gotten away scot-free. But he sued Chambers for defamation of character, and in a pair of trials beginning in 1949, new evidence was introduced that led to his conviction for perjury.

In high irony, Hiss’s “Woodstock” typewriter—brought in by the defense to prove his innocence—in fact was shown by tests to have been used to type the documents passed to the Russians. At that point, the defense tried to claim that the very documents in question were forgeries, after having laid the groundwork to prove the typewriter produced them. Later, the Venona documents, which were KGB files leaked to the West, mentioned an American spy named ALES, who was one of only four Americans at Yalta to return home via Moscow, and the only one fitting the ALES time-and-date requirements was Alger.

Just when everyone thought Alger was bottled up for good, a conference on the Cold War at New York University in 2007 saw a bait-and-switch attempted in which a Nation editor claimed to have evidence that ALES was Wilder Foote (one of the other men) . . . except Foote wasn’t even in Washington when the ALES spy activity was going on. Hiss’s itinerary fit ALES, Foote’s did not.

4. Sacco and Vanzetti.

Astoundingly, textbooks still claim that Sacco and Vanzetti were innocent, that “their trial was a travesty” as American Destiny says, and that “the state doctored evidence” (Making a Nation). The two anarchists, Niccolo Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, had been charged with robbing a shoe factory paymaster and a security guard in South Braintree, Massachusetts, and killing the guard in the process. A Dedham jury needed only three hours to reach a guilty verdict, but according to the Left, they were guilty only of being anarchists. Except:

Nine eyewitnesses identified Sacco as having been at the scene and/or shooting the guard, and four others identified Vanzetti. Several different analyses of the pistol concluded the bullets came from Sacco’s gun. Vanzetti lied throughout the trial about his own pistol, ammunition and his whereabouts on the date in question. Alibi witnesses proved flimsy. Liberals then claimed that the evidence was manipulated by the state.

In 1983, a new book, Postmortem, claimed that the prosecutor tampered with the evidence, but James Starrs, a professor of law and forensic science, discovered that the defense expert had switched the gun barrel, producing the entire controversy. New ballistics tests found that the two spent cartridges at the scene were made by the same machine as the live cartridges for the same gun Sacco had in his pocket when arrested. Experts also concluded that Sacco’s Colt fired the bullet that killed the guard. If that wasn’t enough, Carlo Tresca told writer Max Eastman that Sacco was guilty but not Vanzetti.

In 2005, a 1929 letter from socialist Upton Sinclair, who had defended the two, surfaced in which he had spoken with the two men’s attorney, Fred Moore, who said they were indeed guilty. Moreover, Moore provided details to Sinclair as to how he “framed a set of alibis” for them. All this was too late for former Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis, who in 1977 claimed the two were innocent and said that “all disgrace should be removed from their names.”  Instead, it added disgrace to his.

5. Victims of the Red Scare.

Pick your martyr here: when Senator Joe McCarthy announced on February 9, 1950 that he had a “list of 205 [active members of the Communist party and members of a spy ring] that were made known to the Secretary of State,” it didn’t take long for this to be labeled the “Red Scare.” Just for context’s sake, let’s remember that a) there had already been dozens of Soviet spies exposed in the Roosevelt/Truman administration; b) the West had “lost” China to communism; c) the Soviets had aggressively taken half of Europe and occupied it; d) they had detonated an atomic bomb five years ahead of schedule; and e) they had infiltrated Hollywood. But this was all just “hysteria,” right? (Clue: “hysteria” is an ungrounded fear.)

McCarthy identified several individuals, including Solomon Adler, Frank Coe, Harold Glasser, Owen Lattimore and Annie Lee Moss. McCarthy was not only right that these individuals were Soviet operatives, many of whom played critical roles in denying gold to Chiang Kai-Shek in China, who was locked in a death struggle with communist Mao Tse Tung, but he was too late. By the time he identified most of them, they had done their damage and the administration had quietly removed them. Perhaps one of the most famous of the McCarthy martyrs was Annie Lee Moss. The Left claimed McCarthy had mistaken her for someone else. But M. Stanton Evans’ book, Blacklisted by History, reproduced actual FBI reports identifying Moss as a communist in absolutely unqualified terms. He provided reproductions of other FBI documents totally incriminating virtually all of McCarthy’s so-called victims.

6. The Haymarket Affair.

Long a staple of all left-wing labor history, the Haymarket “Massacre” occurred on May 4, 1886 when workers striking at Haymarket Square in Chicago supposedly gathered peaceably. (Just as an aside, how many peaceful strikers have you seen lately? Can you say SEIU?) Someone hurled a bomb at the police who themselves were standing—peacefully—watching. But after the bomb exploded, they opened fire on the crowd and killed four (seven police were killed and few deny that the crowd fired back at the police).

Rudolf Schnaubelt, the lead suspect, was arrested, but released, then when the police found evidence that showed his role to be more significant, he fled the country. Seven other suspects were indicted as accessories to murder. From the outset the police assumed that anarchists in the labor gathering had planned the event to incite violence. After engaging in a voir dire of almost one thousand potential jurors, the twelve selected confessed to being “prejudiced.” Historians James Henretta and David Brody (America: A Concise History) wrote that the defendants were “victims of one of the great miscarriages of American justice.”

There was one small problem with their “historical” analysis: they had relied on a defense-supplied transcript of the trial rather than the actual trial record itself. This was too much for even an honest liberal like Timothy Messer-Kruse, whose two books on Haymarket came from slogging through the actual trial transcript. He concluded that indeed Schnaubelt was the likely bomb thrower, that the crowd (based on forensic recreations he did) almost certainly fired at the police, and that the defendants received a fair trial by all standards of the day.

Sometimes the truth is so clear that even liberals must confront it—and to be sure, Messer-Kruse paid a price in character assassination by his liberal brethren before, finally, several center-left publications began to admit that his book was, as Choice said, “well-argued” and “careful.” Labor History named Messer-Kruse’s second book on the Haymarket “Massacre,” Trial of the Haymarket Anarchists, as its book of the year.

7. Huey Newton.

David Horowitz’s Radical Son has done a thorough job of exposing the co-founder of the Black Panthers in 1966. Newton, already with an assault with a deadly weapon conviction, was pulled over on October 28, 1967 by Oakland police officer John Frey, who quickly realized he had pulled over the Black Panther leader and called for help. A second policeman, Herbert Heanes, arrived. As the typical non-descript, take-no-offensive-to-the-left position Wikipedia says, “shots were fired.” Frey was shot at a range of less than a foot, four times. Newton was shot once in the abdomen. Newton was convicted of manslaughter, appealed, got two new trials that ended in mistrials, and the state gave up. Newton later told close friends that he had killed Frey, and Horowitz recalled that all the “Panther exiles” knew he had killed Frey. It is noteworthy that while Newton, Angela Davis, and others associated with the Panthers get their own Wikipedia entries, Officer Frey never did.

8. Joe Hill.

Anyone over the age of 40 probably has seen the famous “Woodstock” movie clip of Joan Baez singing “I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill.” Joe Hill, an immigrant who was born Joel Emmanuel Hagglund in Sweden, was typical of the European immigrants of the day who came to the U.S. in 1902 in that he had fully absorbed much of the European socialist dogma. He became a member of the International Workers of the World (“Wobblies”), but generally drifted until he arrived at Park City, Utah near Salt Lake City in 1914. There he killed John G. Morrison and his son during a grocery store robbery, before showing up at a local doctor’s residence with a bullet wound and brandishing a pistol. He claimed he had been shot in a dispute over an unnamed woman, and the doctor reported him. The intruders had worn red bandanas, and police discovered a red bandana in Hill’s room. A dozen witnesses said the killer looked like Hill. While a subsequent biography claims that Hill was “probably” innocent, no actual evidence clearing Hill has ever been produced, and at his trial he did not want to discuss his wound. But hey, at least he gave Joan Baez 15 minutes of fame.

9. Che Guevara.

No, Che isn’t an American, but can anyone think of a leftist martyr who is more honored? After all, even Joe Hill doesn’t have his face on t-shirts. Most of the other creeps listed here don’t have Che’s creds, either: a one-man “death panel,” Che reviewed the murder lists for Fidel Castro’s firing squads, wrote a manual on guerilla warfare, and then broadened his horizons to lead revolutions elsewhere. Bolivian forces killed him in 1967 (of course, “assisted” by the CIA, according to the Left) and that left only Time magazine in 1999 to name him one of the most influential people of the 20th century. The Time editors’ elevation of this murderous thug to such a level represents an egregious — and sadly predictable — ignorance of historical facts.

    SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. A F.B.I. analyst has been sentenced to seven years in prison for having sex with a young girl in Spotsylvania County.
    Forty-four-year-old Anthony John Lesko entered an Alford plea yesterday in Spotsylvania County Circuit Court to nine counts of felony indecent liberties upon a child. An Alford plea means Lesko doesn't admit guilt but believes there is enough evidence for a conviction.
    Authorities say Lesko engaged in a sex act with her nine times, beginning when she was nine years old.
    According to the plea, Lesko said he was a victim in the case. He said the girl initiated the contact.

        Buffalo FBI Agent Busted
        Dec 10, 2012

        BUFFALO, NY – A Special Agent working in the Buffalo office of the FBI is due in Eden Town Court later this month, after being arrested by New York State Police last Friday night, charged with exposing himself to a fellow motorist on the New York State Thruway.

        State Police Lt. David Denz confirmed for WGRZ-TV that John A. Yervelli Jr., 48, of Lakeview, was charged with Public Lewdness, a class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail.

        According to Denz, a truck driver from central New York was traveling in the right lane while east bound on the Thruway near mile marker 442, between Exits 57 and 57A, when he noticed a grey minivan pull alongside him in the passing lane.

        The trucker told police that when he looked down, he noticed the driver of the other vehicle (who had turned his dome light on) was not wearing pants.

        CNN exclusive: FBI misconduct reveals sex, lies and videotape

        By Scott Zamost and Kyra Phillips, CNN Special Investigations Unit
        January 27, 2011

        Washington (CNN) — An FBI employee shared confidential information with his girlfriend, who was a news reporter, then later threatened to release a sex tape the two had made.

        A supervisor watched pornographic videos in his office during work hours while "satisfying himself."

        And an employee in a "leadership position" misused a government database to check on two friends who were exotic dancers and allowed them into an FBI office after hours.

        These are among confidential summaries of FBI disciplinary reports obtained by CNN, which describe misconduct by agency supervisors, agents and other employees over the last three years

            The CPUSA can disband. It is obsolete, now that the morphing of the Democrat Party into the Communist Party is nearly complete:

            Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) said on Thursday that U.S. government does not have a spending problem, but America suffers from “a misallocation of wealth.”

            “I look at it this way,” Harkin said at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the law that includes the automatic spending cuts referred to as “sequestration”). “We’re the richest nation in the history of the world. That kind of begs the question doesn’t it? If we’re so rich, why are we so broke?”

            That is, just because we have already spent the next two generations into debt is no reason to slow down the explosive growth of government, because there are still people out there we haven’t looted into bankruptcy yet. “Misallocation” is when people who create wealth don’t have it stolen from them.

            Harkin sits on the Appropriations Committee. Most lowlifes have to wait for a riot to go looting, but Harkin does it for a living.

            The debt has passed $16.5 trillion. But Democrats have only just begun to waste money. The spree won’t stop until the economy collapses. Then a population conditioned to turn to government for solutions will collapse into Democrats’ collectivist arms — or at least, that’s the plan.

            Despite being softened up by decades of propaganda relentlessly inculcated by our socialist media and schools, not everyone is on board with this plan. That is why our society is preparing for war.

            Evidence that we have a fraud and a usurper currently residing in the people’s White House is overwhelming, despite the overt lack of journalistic investigating on the part of the American press. But now new evidence indicates that the conspiracy to carry out that fraud was much broader than originally thought.

            The story of whom and what Barack Hussein Obama II really is – is a forty-year story that requires a book, not a column, to tell. Strong evidence suggests that he was being groomed from a very young age for the moment in history that would end American supremacy in the world, and usher in a new era of Global Marxist Governance.

            But there was a major hurdle that had to be overcome – the U.S. Constitution, in this case, Article II – Section I – Clause V specifically, which requires that “no person except a naturalborn citizen of the United States” can hold the office of President. – Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States…and may not even be a legal citizen of the United States. So, how can he be President?

            FBI Workers Suspected of Secretly Taping Teens in Dressing Room

            April 20, 2009

            Two FBI workers are accused of using surveillance equipment to spy on teenage girls as they undressed and tried on prom gowns at a charity event at a West Virginia mall.

            The FBI employees have been charged with conspiracy and committing criminal invasion of privacy. They were working in an FBI satellite control room at the mall when they positioned a camera on temporary changing rooms and zoomed in for at least 90 minutes on girls dressing for the Cinderella Project fashion show, Marion County Prosecutor Pat Wilson said Monday.

            At last a little good news. Sharon Sweet, the math professor at Brevard Community College in Cocoa, Florida who forced students to sign a pledge supporting the Moonbat Messiah, looks very likely to get fired. A survey of her students uncovered the following:

            • “Professor Sweet strongly encouraged or mandated that students from several classes sign a card that stated, ‘I pledge to vote for President Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket.”

            • Sweet “misrepresented her intentions to multiple students, indicating at various times that she was conducting voter registration for the college, that the pledge cards were nonpartisan voter registration forms, and that the pledge was a ‘statistical analysis.’ ”

            • The “in-class voicing of her political views and actions regarding the distribution of political pledge cards created a hostile academic environment that violated college policy which governs workplace behavior.”

            • “Professor Sweet’s actions caused students to feel considerable discomfort, to believe their privacy was being invaded, to fear their grade could be negatively impacted if they refused to sign the pledge cards, and to feel intimidated.”

            Despite the overwhelming left-wing bias of the education establishment, appearances still need to be maintained — for now. Sweet’s termination process is underway. Good thing she isn’t a public school teacher; it would drag on for years.

          Why do you suppose the Obama Regime has been amassing such gargantuan quantities of ammunition for extra-military purposes?

          In a puzzling, unexplained development, the Obama administration has been buying and storing vast amounts of ammunition in recent months, with the Department of Homeland Security just placing another order for an additional 21.6 million rounds.

          That’s on top of an already clearly excessive stockpile.

          According to one estimate, just since last spring DHS has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm. That’s sufficient firepower to shoot every American about five times. Including illegal immigrants.

          To provide some perspective, experts estimate that at the peak of the Iraq war American troops were firing around 5.5 million rounds per month. At that rate, DHS is armed now for a 24-year Iraq war.

          Does Janet Napolitano believe her own department’s fanciful propaganda regarding the likelihood of a right-wing insurrection? Doubtful. Mark Levin suggests that the purpose is to prepare for an imminent economic crisis and the chaos to follow. As usual, the Great One is right.

          Not all Democrats are idiots. Those in charge know that Obama’s Cloward-Piven spending spree will eventually end in total economic collapse. This is the only possible outcome and therefore the only possible purpose of our government’s economic policy.

          Our liberal ruling class is losing patience with decades of incremental Marxism. They are one deliberately engineered crisis away from going for the gold: genuine Stalinism.

          Anyone who finds this outlandish needs to read up on Obama’s background.

          His Department of Homeland Security will have five bullets for each of us when the American people get the fundamental transformation so many were such contemptible fools as to ask for. Don’t worry, chances are good you won’t get shot if you do exactly as you are told.

          Now we know why the Regime and its mouthpiece, the “mainstream” media, were so appallingly eager to seize on Newtown as a pretext to begin disarming us. The Left is approaching the end game.

        By JOHN MILLER

        Associated Press Writer

        BOISE, Idaho (AP) A longtime FBI agent who helped arrest mountain-man Claude Dallas and was involved in a deadly 1984 siege involving white supremacists in Washington state is going to prison for 12 months after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography.

        William Buie, 64, of Boise, most recently worked as an investigator for the Idaho attorney general's office.

      Interesting. But I don't think this man will wind up portrayed as a political martyr of the right. Though if the charges are true, maybe the left would like to take up his martyrdom.

    Peeling through their looking glass has always been a problem for those (mis)schooled in western academia. And it has been not for nothing. The fact of the matter is that these so called "martyrs" would have been exposed, as the traitors they were, if "historicism" was not the academic rage.

      It was disturbing to read that government prosecutors hoped that “a conviction and the possibility of a death sentence against Ethel Rosenberg would persuade her husband to confess and implicate others …” Is the reason that she was tried and executed simply an attempt to bully her husband?

      President Eisenhower either knew this information or should have known it. The fact that Eisenhower did not commute Ethel Rosenberg’s sentence is unforgiveable.

      • LibertarianToo

        But you didn't provide us any information that Eisenhower knew -just a question, by which you mean to imply an answer you won't state because you have no evidence.

        I find it interesting that the Left has lost it's ambition on this one. Instead of whining about "The Rosenbergs" a lot of left screedists now moan about Ethel alone, insisting on her innocence. So is the knowing accomplice of a traitor not a traitor?

      • Crossbow87

        Not really, because she spied for the Soviets, got caught and was executed. She got what she deserved.

      • Poppakap

        That you conveniently choose to ignore all the hard data pointing to the Rosenberg's guilt is unforgivable, and once again shows leftist ideology to be a religion of its own.

        • g_jochnowitz

          Ronald Radosh and Joyce Milton say in their book, THE ROSENBERG FILE, “Up to the very day of Julius’s arrest, the FBI’s interest in Ethel Rosenberg had been nil. . . . The evidence against Ethel rested entirely on the Greenglasses’ uncorroborated word, and placed her in an accessory role at best.”

          It has been said that J. Edgar Hoover wanted to spare Ethel. Why? We know that the FBI director was not soft on Communism. Perhaps he believed that the United States should not execute someone who has not committed a capital offense.

  • Joy

    I love anything that proves that McCarthy was right! Ignoramuses today forget that we were in a slightly more than "Cold War" with the former USSR – and that LOTS of spying was going on on BOTH sides! But the Left has a total blind spot vis-a-vis Communism and its role as deadly enemy # 1 after we defeated Nazism & the Axis powers in WW2. Even more egregious, the unscrupulous Left has tried to make martyrs of murderers, power freaks and general scumbags only because they followed a "sacrosanct" ideology that was akin to Marxism. A pox on and to hell with all those who betrayed America and were willing to throw out all its Constitutional freedoms for the sake of ideology!

    • Mary Sue

      yeah, I think PBS occasionally did stories where various Hollywood peoples would whine about how unfair the whole McCarthy thing was!

      • objectivefactsmatter

        Check out "Cold War" series by CNN.

        I've got the video nearby but I don't have the tele-scripts handy. The narrator talks about how it made us stink, or something like that. I'll review it today if I get some time. I think it's episode 6. The series tries to play it even handed by criticizing both US and the Soviets. But this helps us because it does cover specific evidence that thinking people can use to come to their own conclusions. The only "evidence" against the West and the USA is that we supposedly were scared of communism for unjustifiable reasons and worse, we suspected they had infiltrated the government. Evidence found elsewhere proves this to be true (as discussed in this article).

        I'm trying to think of some PBS documentaries that do the same thing…but this episode in the Cold War series is the perfect example of how the smears are put together.

      • objectivefactsmatter

        According to the narration, "…McCarthyism stained American democracy for decades."

        Which really means this is Ted Turner's view.

  • Deep Space

    I note that the Wikipedia entry on Annie Lee Morris goes out of its way to state how conservatives try to use her name and case to prove McCarthy right.

    • Deep Space

      Sorry, meant "Annie Lee Moss"

    • Catilina

      That is typical of the Wikipedia craze.
      It is NOT only Conservatives, and they DO NOT go out of their way to prove McCarthy right, it is SIMPLY that they try to tell the truth, reveal a LIE ("Poor black woman Ann Lee Moss") for what it is.

    When even a communist dictator tells you that Julius and Ethyl Rosenberg were Soviet spies, you’d think the Left would have to believe him.

    It was "Ethel." "Ethyl" is alcohol. She was a traitor, not a drunk.

  • Jake Tobias

    The Rosenbergs were not important? According to some? Well, they attempted to be important then, didn't they? Only a little guilty of treason. Not only are the Rosenbergs not martyrs, they were chumps, or patsies. They were the last link in a chain that led directly into Los Alamos, because there were bigger traitors than them. What the Rosenbergs continue to be is a smoke screen.

    • objectivefactsmatter

      "What the Rosenbergs continue to be is a smoke screen."

  • Ray Olson

    Dear Mr. Schweikart–Very gratifying, as always, to have these–if not total frauds–then considerably less than bona fide heroes revealed again, because there are still many who don't know about the gaping holes in their armor of virtue. A couple of corrections are in order, however. The Wobblies were the Industrial Workers of the World, not the International Workers of the World. More consequentially, the problem with the Haymarket bombing isn't just that the probable perp absconded, it's that four men who didn't do it (a fifth committed suicide via blasting cap, which seems suspicious) were hanged for it. Yeah, Joe Hill was probably guilty, but he's nonpareil as a song parodist. Finally, Joan Baez had a beautiful voice for her first Vanguard LP, but by the time of Woodstock it was shot and hasn't since recovered; luckily, that first album has no lefty anthems on it, though it does have the terminally lugubrious "Kumbaya", which as (fortunately) the last track can easily be elided.

    Good article! Two comments: (a) The Venona messages were not "leaked to the West", but intercepted and decrypted by brilliant cryptanalysts such as Meredith Garner. (b) Granted that Joe McCarthy was right about some of the people he fingered. It is also true that his erratic behavior and recklessness harmed the cause of anti-communism. I don't think we have to stand by his entire record, only part of it.

    • Poppakap

      You've hit a point that's generally hard to accept by many conservatives. McCarthy was right about the commies he identified. US citizens owe him a huge debt of gratitude. But he was also a media whore (not unlike Kim Kardashian) that sought to elevate himself into a cult of personality. I applaud his efforts to expose the deep infiltration by sickle & hammer devotees in the US government. But I simultaneously wish he had exercised greater self control in dealing with the fifth estate giving them fuel for subsequent smear campaigns.

      • objectivefactsmatter

        "You've hit a point that's generally hard to accept by many conservatives. McCarthy was right about the commies he identified. US citizens owe him a huge debt of gratitude. But he was also a media whore (not unlike Kim Kardashian) that sought to elevate himself into a cult of personality. "

        Which do you think is more important? Which determined his legacy in leftist culture? It's like Rubino reaching for water at the "wrong time." They amplify everything negative that they can get away with to attack people dangerous to them. It would be like conservatives fixating over 0'Bama's legacy with gay white men's clubs. Nobody cares that much on either side of the aisle. Yet one could make a big deal out of it painting him as a liar and someone who has created an entire fraudulent narrative about himself just based on that. Then you've got the people murdered who might have been able to reveal more. Nobody really cares. This is because the most crucial problems with 0'Bama are his relationships with communists and MB operatives, and related appeasement and buying in to lies about US and Western history.

        You're helping the leftists to focus on non-salient facts to distract from the most salient facts of all. We suffer today from massive communist infiltration in the US government of the past. They've already won the culture war. All we have now is the constitution to protect us.

        • LibertarianToo

          You are so right. Anything the man did would have been used against him. He was stepping on too many toes. Also remember that the republican party was NOT a conservative party at the time. There were plenty of republicans who had no problem with the "containment" theory, with letting China go Red, etc. McCarthy was swimming against the tide in his own party, and they made sure he paid.

          Republicans still act like they have to apologize for McCarthy.

  • mickeymat

    The Red Scare was not during the 1950's but rather the 1920's. Appreciate your exposing the truth and the myths of history oft repeated by the leftists but please try to get the facts straight so the left cannot fault you. Thanks.

      There were two Red Scares – I didn't know that.

      First Red Scare (1919–1921)
      Second Red Scare (1947–1957)

    As for the blacklisted actors – it is worth remembering that these communists in Hollywood in their heyday would harass, spread lies and blacklist anyone who DIDN'T agree with the Party line. They infiltrated and took over the famed Group Theater and other important troupes and bullied and terrorized their enemies into line. Do unto others…

    • Phil

      The blacklisting in Hollywood continues today. Conservatives are being given a very rough time while psycho bigots like Oliver Staone are admired.

      • Questions

        There is no "blacklist" of conservatives in today's Hollywood. That's a chic myth peddled by the Breitbart types to explain why their own ilk, lacking talent, can't seem to generate long lines at the multiplex. Mel Gibson, by the way, has been well-known in the film industry as a conservative for a decades. Did that stop him from winning Best Picture and Best Director for "Braveheart?" (1995). Somebody out there in L.A. likes him.

        • objectivefactsmatter

          "There is no "blacklist" of conservatives in today's Hollywood."

          There's no list. There's leftist cultural hegemony and "political correctness" that leads to the exact same effect. Actually what they do today is more effective in suppressing those who criticize or step outside of leftist ideology than any coherent list of conservatives.

          "That's a chic myth peddled by the Breitbart types to explain why their own ilk, lacking talent, can't seem to generate long lines at the multiplex. "

          No, it's just shorthand for the statement I articulated for you.

          "Mel Gibson, by the way, has been well-known in the film industry as a conservative for a decades. "

          And he's broadly supported in Hollywood both politically and getting his "conservative" projects funded just like any other projects from Hollywood, right? That's your position? He's a great example to show what it takes to succeed without selling out. He sold out while young and then funded his own projects to break out of the cultural hegemony of Hollywood.

          "Did that stop him from winning Best Picture and Best Director for "Braveheart?" (1995). Somebody out there in L.A. likes him."

          Again, thank you for proving the point. I love how leftists will collapse time to "prove" their point. When did Gibson become known as a conservative?

          • tagalog

            Gibson became known as a conservative about the time it was first revealed publicly that he belonged to a group that seeks to revive the Latin liturgy for mass.

        • 11bravo

          YOU are the delusional one. You site one example.

        • tagalog

          There was no "blacklist" of reds in Hollywood in the old days, either. Louis B. Mayer called up Jack Warner -or vice-versa- and told him "You're thinking of hiring John Doe? He's a commie." All the Hollywood bigwigs kept up with who was getting subpoenaed by HUAC or McCarthy, that info was published in the gossip columns. There was "Red Channels" for TV (not compiled by the people who ran TV). But no Hollywood blacklist in the movies.

          You had thoughts and beliefs that caused the Hollywood magnates to lose money, you got canned. That's not so true today, in our ideologized world; now they make money-losing movies that they KNOW will lose money from the start of production, just to be on record as making a statement. Anybody remember "Rendition?" I guess they still put "Valley of Elah" on TV every now and then.

      • bryce armstrong

        I kind of take issue whenever anybody says Oliver Stone is a popular director, I know your trying to make a point about Hollywoods Marxest bias, but seriously he is not know or ever has been very like. Also his homo opus Alexander probably killed His career.

    • Mary Sue

      oh yeah they whined about it being a witch hunt when McCarthy was conducting hearings, but they're not so merciful themselves to Conservative actors…

      • tagalog

        Remember when Elia Kazan (On the Waterfront, Vive Zapata!, East of Eden, etc., etc.) was going to get a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy at the Academy Awards? People like Glenn Close, Michael Douglas, Warren Beatty and numerous others in the audience actually turned their backs on him when his name was called. What a bunch of smug self-important morons. Kazan should have said to them from the podium. "I'm GLAD what I done! GLAD!" like Brando's Terry Malloy.

  • HiPlainsDrifter

    Communists are communists…and shall always be …no matter what the communists in the media say..

  • F.K. Juliano

    Mine may be a minority position, but I believe leftists should be sent to the gulag. You know they'll do it to us as soon as they get a chance.

  • edgineer1

    Only when the American people awake from their self imposed delusions about the extent of treason being committed , mostly by Democrats, will this country be safe.

  • tagalog

    On the Rosenbergs: it seems that the evidence supports the idea that Ethel Rosenberg didn't play an active role in the atomic spying. Nevertheless, she fully supported Julius, whom the evidence inculpates beyond question. Since they met as Communist activists, there's no question of Julius keeping his political works secret from her. So there's no doubt she was a accomplice, a facilitator.

    On Joe Hill: the man was facing the death penalty in Utah, where they don't fool around. Yet he was such a gallant fellow that the one person he claimed could exculpate him was the woman he was fooling around with when the robbery and killing took place, and he wouldn't reveal her name because it would dishonor her. Right. Don't mourn, celebrate justice having been done.

    Not mentioned were the Hollywood Ten, card-carrying CPUSA members all, but I suppose that's because they didn't actually DO much of anything – a few pinkish screenplays that no one cared much about, along with contempt of Congress (but then I have contempt of Congress for my own reasons). But I always got a kick out of how Dalton Trumbo managed to ride the edge of the razor blade, never QUITE claiming victim status (after all, he had to be Spartacus), but making quite a bit of hay out of it nevertheless, in interview after interview. Proof that intellectual refinement and the ability to write his ideas down very well doesn't stop a man from being a dupe.

    On McCarthy: he claimed to have a list of over 200 names of Soviet spies in U.S. government. As it turns out, according to Haynes and Klehr, writing on the Venona Project that lasted only for about a year and a half and only resulted in a tiny fraction of Soviet spy messages being decoded, Venona revealed 310 names of Soviet operatives in U.S. govenment. McCarthy was wrong; things were considerably worse than he painted them, even assuming he was lying.

New grants available to support ageing rural Australians

A new national small grant program will distribute more than $400,000 across rural Australia to support older people living in small communities.

FRRR’s Caring for Ageing Rural Australians (CARA) program will provide assistance to community-based, not-for-profit groups for projects and programs which help, build, foster and encourage older people living in communities of fewer than 10,000 people.

Grants may range from $100 up to $10,000 and be used to support projects which:

  • Help redress disadvantage caused by remoteness;
  • Enhance aged care services and facilities;
  • Build community capacity for age-friendly communities to confidently engage older people in community through:
    • active living programs
    • community based recreational, social, and physical activities that support good health and alleviate social isolation
    • community leadership and volunteering opportunities that promote the skills and knowledge of older people
    • intergenerational activities;
  • Foster community development by increasing the social and economic participation and lifelong learning opportunities for older people in local communities; or
  • Encourage positive ageing, community health and wellbeing, and education programs

FRRR’s CEO Alexandra Gartmann says this program has been created to meet the changing requirements of rural and regional Australians.

“We have reshaped this program slightly to recognise that there are unique challenges in providing support to ageing rural Australians. It still provides support for residential aged care facilities but we are also seeking applications for programs like health and wellness activities or projects which enable elderly Australians to receive the care they need in their own homes.”

Ms Gartmann says that as well as the funds available nationally for this annual program, there is also some money specifically available for medium term projects (2-3 years) in New South Wales. Eligible organisations may be considered for multiyear funding, for a maximum of $10,000 per year, for up to three years.

In addition, there are some funds available specifically in the Shires of Gilgandra and Warren. Specific details on the program is available by contacting FRRR’s Program Manager, Jeanice Henderson on 1800 170 020.

The application form, together with detailed program guidelines and some frequently asked questions are available on the FRRR website. Applications close 5 October, 2012.

Twitter Makes Advertising Easier for Small Businesses

Twitter Makes Advertising Easier for Small Businesses

Last month, Twitter announced the launch of a new advertising offering called Quick Promote. It's aimed specifically at small and medium-size businesses, and lets advertisers promote their best-performing tweets from the Tweet Activity Dashboard.

A lot of SMBs have no doubt been waiting for such an offering, essentially mimicking Facebook's easy-to-use sponsored posts. In fact, Twitter has made the offering even easier and closer to Facebook's offering in the month since the original announcement, and made it so that businesses can promote their tweets right from the Twitter profile without even needing to visit the dashboard.

Twitter has developed a number of offerings geared toward Small Business to help them reach some of their goals since initially launching its self-serve advertising platform two years ago. In 2014, it launched objective-based campaigns, reports, and pricing to make it easier for businesses to manage campaigns, while only paying for actions specifically related to their marketing objectives.

Twitter also made organic Tweet analytics available to everyone last summer, so smaller advertisers could improve their content strategies.

With the new Quick Promote feature, small businesses can promote a tweet with just a few clicks, and the tweet will automatically target users who have similar interests to the business' followers. This, according to Twitter, is the audience that is most likely going to be interested in the message the business is trying to promote.

Twitter product manager Buster Benson said in a blog post that those tweeting about products, promotions or their own blog posts will be able to achieve measurable business results thanks to the new Quick Promote feature.

Twitter actually found that its users who see relevant promoted tweets from a small or medium-size business are 32% more likely to visit that business. That's a pretty impressive figure, though we'll have to take Twitter's word for it.

Of course if you wish to use Quick Promote from the Tweet Activity Dashboard, you can do so. Just go to the dashboard, select the tweet you want to promote, and select a budget for the campaign. Once you do that, Twitter will give you an estimate of the reach your tweet will likely achieve once you promote it.

The dashboard also lets you keep an eye on the engagement the tweet receives in real time. You'll also be able to do this from the Twitter profile, as was announced with the addition of Quick Promote to that section.

Twitter also announced a new homepage for Twitter Analytics, which the company refers to as "account homepage". This page enables you to see a summary of all of the activity associated with your account. That includes the number of times your account has tweeted, how many people have seen your tweets, how many people have visited your profile, how many people have mentioned you, how many people followed your account, how many times people have shared links to your site (if you take advantage of Twitter's website cards), your account's top tweets, and your followers with the largest network in a given month.

According to Benson, this information can be used to help you quickly share your best content with a wider audience and engage with your most influential followers. You can also use it as a starting point to do a deeper dive into your account performance in general, he says.

Quick Promote is available for all small and medium-size businesses on Twitter. Account Home is available to all advertisers.

The Business Resources Center offers helpful news, tips, and tools for general information purposes only, It is not intended to provide legal, financial, or other advice or recommendations for any specific individual, business, or circumstance. The offerings found here are provided by third parties, which are neither controlled nor endorsed by First Tennessee Bank National Association. First Tennessee Bank National Association does not guarantee or warrant the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of this information and content. Additionally, links to third party sites are provided for your convenience.

Razer announces its 7-inch handheld concept

Atom powered Switchblade

It looks like Razer, a company that has always surprised us with its peripheral products, is planning to make a move into a new market segment - handheld gaming devices.

The Switchblade, as Razer decided to brand this one, is a 7-inch Atom powered handheld that has a 7-inch multi-touch display and a small keyboard that can be customized depending on the game that you are running.

Since we are talking about Intel's Atom CPU, we guess that serious gaming is off the table, but Switchblade looks decent and we certainly won't doubt the quality of Razer's products. Of course, Razer was perfectly clear that we are looking at a concept design and that Switchblade might not even come out for that matter, but one can never know.

On the spec side of things, the Switchblade features a USB 3.0 port, mini HDMI output, WiFi and 3G connectivity and the mentioned Intel Atom CPU.

It's a nice concept that might find a buyer or two especially considering that it runs on Windows 7 and can be used for more than just basic gaming. However, taking into account the fact that market will soon be filled with a bunch of tablets, we doubt that it will have much success.

You can check out the video of Switchblade in action below.

Ah… Predictions, Predictions

Posted on 30 March 2013 by Jennifer Gosline

There is no true off-season in baseball. It is simply some down time to make adjustments to rosters, to reflect on past stats, and make predictions for the future. Baseball is never over in the heart of the fans, and now it is almost time again for the first pitch of the regular season.

2013 is going to be interesting. Numerous changes have been made to many Major League rosters. Some seemingly revamping their whole team. I think this season, teams that may not have been thought of as strong have made themselves good contenders to snag that division title. And other clubs that are expected to always be the leader, might suffer.

AL East
The Toronto Blue Jays gained a lot of solid veteran players over the off-season making them seem unapproachable for the rest of the AL East. As long as they can handle the pressure and do not burn themselves from the stress, they will be dangerous. They just need to stay focused, and not get swept away by all the talk of high hopes swirling around them. If they can pull this off, the Red Sox, the Rays, and the Orioles will have a hard time keeping up with the Blue Jays this year.

The Yankees… Oh the Yankees… They seem to be on a steady decline with the injuries they are facing. Healthy Yankees have always been a threat, but right now they seem to be scrambling. If they can pass the injury issues, they can once again be capable of making it to the playoffs.

AL Central
The Twins lost both Denard Span and Ben Revere over the off-season which will slow the team down considerably. They both have tremendous hustle and now Minnesota is lacking in that category. They made some much needed upgrades to their pitching, and they do have a little bit of pop in their line up, but I do not think it will be enough to replace the loss of these outfielders. They will likely fall to the retooled Cleveland Indians and the up and down Chicago White Sox. Even the Royals will be a stronger competitor than the Twins, with the improvements they made this season.

I expect the Detroit Tigers to be as impressive as last year. Adding leader and weathered outfielder Torii Hunter to the team will increase the power in their already dominant line up. And if Victor Martinez can stay off the disabled list, they could be unstoppable. And not to mention Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez in their starting rotations. As long as having no dedicated closer does not make this team crumble, I think the Tigers will be in the post-season.

AL West
The Astros will not make a smooth transition over to the American League. They will be a fish out of water this season. Once they get acclimated, they may increase their skills, but for now it will just be a learning period.

The Angels and the Rangers will, as usual, be tough to beat this season. They both have well-rounded teams with some scary defensive talent. The Rangers lost Josh Hamilton to the Angels which might not be that big of a blow, as the rest of the team is capable of picking up the slack. And now the Halos have that added power to their roster. These two teams are comparable.

The Oakland Athletics are a favorite for being the scrappy underdogs, but they will have to rely heavily on their pitching to defend their division crown. Newcomers, Chris Young and John Jaso will not be enough to put fear into their rivals.

The Mariners will once again try to build around their ace Felix Hernandez. However, I feel that they will not be a serious contender for the division title. They might get a little more adrenaline after facing the Astros, but there will not be much change for Seattle this year.

NL East
The Atlanta Braves have a fierce line up with the Upton brothers and Jason Heyward, but I think they might not excel as much as expected. Justin Upton has major potential to win an MVP award in his career and still has yet to show everything he is capable of, but the initial excitement of playing with B.J. Upton might be more of a distraction than a motivator. Eventually, these two will tear up the NL East, maybe even toward the end of this season in a push for the playoffs. But I think they might be too amped in the beginning to reach the standards that everyone is anticipating. The Braves do have some bullpen talent that can rescue them in any inevitable jams. This team will certainly make their name known this year.

I am not sure what the Marlins were doing over the off-season. It seems that most clubs were making improvements and Miami had a different plan. This will not be their year. They may put up a fight… or perhaps a squabble. But I do not think they will make much of a dent in opposing teams. The Mets will surly dominate them with Shaun Marcum in their starting rotation.

Between the Nationals and the Phillies, both teams could give a strong push to the playoffs. Both have offensive depth, but the Nationals will have an edge over the Phillies with their strong pitching rotation. With Gio Gonzalez and Stephen Strasburg as starters, the Nationals could take the division title.

NL Central
With young stars like Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo, there is reason to be excited about the Chicago Cubs. Having said that, I feel they will not make much of an impact yet in their division, especially competing against Andrew McCutchen and the upstart Pirates.

The Brewers could be a worthy contender for the playoffs if they were not facing the Reds. Milwaukee has some dependable bats, but their pitching is lacking. And the Reds have too much offensive ammunition for the Brewers to tame.

The question is: can the Cardinals take on the Reds? The Cardinals play hard, always come hungry, and seem to excel at the most important times. They are healthy competition for the Reds. Both teams have offensive talent and their pitching matches up fairly evenly.

NL West
The Los Angeles Dodgers are trying to rely too much on big names to carry them through the season. Chemistry is important. Big names are not everything. If these guys can figure out how to work together, they can be merciless to their opposing teams. But everything has to click seamlessly. And I am not sure the Dodgers are quite there yet. They have ample pitching with Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, and a powerful offense. They look good on paper, but may need a year to get more settled.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have a proficient pitching rotation with Ian Kennedy and Brandon McCarthy starting. And their bullpen is jam packed with solid relief options. They made many adjustments to their positional players as well, to create a unique team. They were average last season, but this time around they might have the formula to increase their game. Competing against the Colorado Rockies, who are an average team, and the San Diego Padres, who will actually put up a fight this year, the Dbacks have a chance at making their team stand out.

The Giants have kept most of their team intact from last year. The World Series Champions will likely still be a strong competitor in their division, and now they have Tim Lincecum back on the mound which can increase their pitching depth considerably. They will be the team to beat in the NL West.

So what will actually happen this season? Every one has an opinion, but we all know anything can happen in baseball. That is the beauty of the sport. And it is almost time, once again, to play ball.

Playing the Name Game: Spring Training edition, Part Two

Posted on 21 March 2013 by Chris Caylor

This is the 2nd of a two-part Spring Training edition of Playing the Name Game. In Part 1, I listed some infielders for you to focus on during your AL-only or NL-only drafts or auctions. As a reminder, I am not advocating that Player B is better than Player A; I am simply pointing out some players that may produce elite numbers at a less-than-elite cost. Now, let’s take a look at some pitchers and outfielders:

Toronto Blue Jays Jose Bautista is brushed back by a pitch in the third inning against the New York Yankees in their American League MLB baseball game in Toronto August 23, 2010. Bautista homered on the next pitch.  REUTERS/Fred Thornhill  (CANADA - Tags: SPORT BASEBALL)

Player A: .303/.371/.510, 22 HR, 85 RBI, 20 SB, 89 R, 119 OPS+

Player B: .283/.373/.441, 16 HR, 67 RBI, 21 SB, 88 R, 131 OPS+

Player A is Carlos Gonzalez of the Rockies. Player B is the Reds’ new centerfielder, Shin-Soo Choo. CarGo suffered in 2012, along with the rest of the Rockies (and their fans), clearly missing Troy Tulowitzki to protect him in the lineup. However, it remains questionable whether Gonzalez will reach the mid-30s in home runs again, as he did in 2010. Choo, meanwhile, bounced back from in injury-plagued 2011 season and to post solid numbers for a mediocre Cleveland team. Now that he is leading off for the deep, talented Reds, Choo could post career-high numbers. Projections I have seen have Choo virtually equaling Gonzalez in home runs, stolen bases and batting average, while besting Gonzalez in runs scored. Gonzalez will retain the edge in RBI, but Choo is being drafted 3-4 rounds later and is going for much cheaper in auction leagues.

Player A: .241/.358/.527, 27 HR, 65 RBI, 5 SB, 64 R, 137 OPS+

Player B: .242/.305/.463, 32 HR, 85 RBI, 11 SB, 85 R, 110 OPS+

Player A is Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays. Player B is the Athletics’ Josh Reddick. Joey Bats’ 2012 season was marred by his wrist injury, which disabled him in July and eventually required surgery. Before that, he led the AL in home runs two consecutive seasons. Reddick came out of nowhere to mash 32 homers for the A’s in 2012. At age 26, his prime years are ahead of him. Bautista might – I repeat, might – drop of the 2nd round in some leagues due to fears about his wrist sapping his power stroke, but he won’t fall much further than that. Reddick, meanwhile, is ranked 20+ spots lower in ESPN leagues. Don’t that let deter you. The power is real and still developing. If Reddick played in a park other than the cavernous Oakland dump, he might threaten for the league home run title.

Finally, we come to the pitchers. In over 20 years of playing fantasy baseball, I have found it much more challenging to consistently build a good pitching staff than to construct a strong lineup. Is it because so many pitchers are one wrong pitch away from a trip to the disabled list? Or is it more that many pitchers who succeed one year struggle the next? Or is it something else entirely? Perhaps a combination of all three?

In any event, I subscribe to two theories when it comes to fantasy baseball and pitching: 1) pitchers with a solid WHIP rarely steer you wrong, and 2) do not punt the saves category. That is not to say that you should spend excessively on saves, but judiciously. Example:

Player A: 3-1 W-L, 42 Sv, 116 K, 0.65 WHIP

Player B: 2-1 W-L, 42 Sv, 69 K, 1.16 WHIP

Player A is Craig Kimbrel of the Braves. Player B is Rafael Soriano of the Nationals. Obviously, Kimbrel put together one of the most dominating seasons we have seen from a closer not named Mariano Rivera in many years. If you put aside the staggering difference in strikeouts, however, Kimbrel is not much more valuable than Soriano in standard fantasy baseball leagues. They compiled the same number of saves. The wins total is negligible. Both WHIP ratios are outstanding. But would you rather have Kimbrel (whom you would have to select in the early rounds of a draft or pay Rivera-like prices for at an auction), or would you rather use that early draft pick/big auction money on a starter like Cole Hamels or Johnny Cueto, knowing you can pick up Soriano several rounds later? I’d take the latter.

Player A: 20-5 W-L, 2.81 ERA, 142 K, 1.02 WHIP

Player B: 8-14 W-L, 3.81 ERA, 165 K, 1.28 WHIP

Player A is Jered Weaver of the Angels. Player B is Josh Johnson of the Blue Jays. Weaver has finished in the Top 5 in Cy Young balloting each of the past three seasons. Johnson was acquired as part of that massive trade between Toronto and Miami. Although the transition from NL to AL is typically more difficult for pitchers, that in this case is cancelled out by Johnson moving to a much better team. Forget the win-loss totals from last season; Johnson is still getting plenty of swings and misses when he pitches. Weaver missed almost a month in 2012 with back pain. Johnson is an injury-risk himself, but he is a year younger than Weaver and offers ace-like potential at No. 2 starter value. I’ll take my chances here.

Opening Day is rapidly approaching. If you’re like me and have your draft or auction coming up in the next 7-10 days, I hope this article proves helpful to you.

Joshin’ Around

Posted on 13 February 2013 by Will Emerson

Pitchers and catchers have reported which means it is time to delve into all, yes all,  sorts of fantasy baseball argle bargle! So what is the argle bargle du jour? Well, that would be the outfield position.

Otherwise known as, arguably the deepest position in fantasy baseball, not just because of the mere talent level of outfielders but also because, in the offensive category there are just plain more of them. It would be hard to argue that the easiest place to find some hidden offensive gem is in the outfield. Wouldn’t it? Plus many of the early round talents are outfielders. I mean the list of fantasy studs in the outfield is pretty darned good. Mike Trout, Ryan Braun, Andrew McCutchen, Matt Kemp, Josh Hamilton, Josh Willingham…..wha, wha, wha, what?! Josh Willingham?  Yes, do not adjust your screens, I said Josh Willingham. Josh is a fantasy diamond in the rough!

Okay, maybe J-Dubs is not your traditional fantasy stud, per se, but he is definitely a guy many of your opponents may overlook. In several places I have seen his current average draft position in the high 80s, mostly drafted behind about 20-25 some odd other outfielders, which could end up being a big steal for you come draft day. Willingham quietly put up a very solid 2012 with the Twinkies, probably because, well, not many people were paying much attention to the Twinkies as a whole. Mmmm, Twinkies…. Umm, well, in case you missed hit, here is what Willingham did last season:

35 HRs (4th among OFs)
110 RBIs (3rd among OFs)
.890 OPS (4th among OFs)
143 wRC+ (4th among OFs)
.366 OBP (12th among OFs)

Yes, I realize wRC+ is not used in fantasy baseball, but it is certainly not irrelevant stat for drafting a fantasy team. Take it for what you will, but here were the no name outfield leaders in wRC+ in 2012:

Mike Trout- 166
Ryan Braun- 162
Andrew McCutchen- 158
Josh Willingham- 143
Matt Holliday- 141
Josh Hamilton- 140
Allen Craig- 138
Ben Zobrist- 137
Yoenis Cespedes- 136
Austin Jackson- 135

Not bad company for Willingham, huh? Now, I know what you may be thinking, “but Will, that’s only one season, there’s no saying he can duplicate that in 2013!” Well, first off, I am not sure why you are yelling at me, but to your point  I would say, to be fair, that there is never a guarantee that a player can duplicate any season. Regardless of whether or not a player has a decent track record, anything can and will happen from one season to the next, but was this just one season for Willingham?  Let’s go and see, shall we? That’s rhetorical, folks, see, we shall, and see right now, we will! Wow, sorry for Yoda taking over this post for a hot second. Where were we? Oh yeah, Josh Willingham.

If Willingham gets over 400 ABs he will get you 20+ dingers. In 2011, he socked 29 dingers, so the 35 is not completely out of left field, where, as it happens, Willingham plays most of the time, so I guess they were out of left field in a way.  The 29 long balls in 2011 were only good for 11th amongst all outfielders, but that is still pretty good. Remember he is looking to be around the 25th (or so) outfielder coming off the ol’ board in 2013 fantasy baseball drafts. There is more to life and, to a lesser degree, fantasy baseball, than home runs. Okay, well, Willingham also drove in 98 runs in 2011, good for sixth amongst all outfielders. So you can at the very least get some cheap pop out of the big lug. Obviously the lack of steals and batting average do hurt his case a bit, but his .260 average from 2012 is not too debilitating and minus his ’08 and ’11 seasons he has hit .260 or higher every season, which is not atrocious by any means. If you are not old-fashioned sitting in a 5 x 5 league with batting average as a stat then sure his stock will drop some. If you are in a league that at  least has OPS and or OBP, then Willingham is absolutely, undoubtedly, positively the sleeper outfielder for you!

Although his career batting average is .261, he has been able to get on base at a .362 clip, proving he has a bit of patience at the plate. Plus he has not had an OPS under .810 in the majors since he became an everyday player in 2006. On that front only twice in those seasons did he post an OPS under .834. Okay, not a much bigger number, but nevertheless, a good one. Statistically there are no signs that 2012 was a giant fluke for Willingham, although the home runs may drop off a bit into the mid-to late twenties (I’m calling 27 right now!), the rest of the numbers are pretty legit, even the runs! Willingham scored 85 runs. On the Twins. The 22nd in the majors in runs, Minnesota Twins, for crying out loud! Okay, okay, maybe I am getting a tad bit carried away here. Alright, alright, so the 85 runs may dip a bit as well. In fact, well, the RBIs may fall off a smidge too. So, 2012 may not quite be duplicated by Josh, but I think he is an outfield sleeper come draft day, regardless, mark my words!

Look, I am not saying that Josh Willingham is a top ten fantasy player. Heck, I am not even saying he is a top ten fantasy outfielder. Although that could depend in large part to what stats you use in your league. In any event people, what I am saying is that you could still be getting a steal (but not steals) in the middle rounds with Josh Willingham. Here is what I am projecting for J-Will in 2013:  .258/.363/.480, 27 HRs, 90 RBIs and 78 runs. Now, I am certainly not the greatest prognosticator in the world. Far from it, I would wager. Be that as it may, I like to think I am in the ballpark with Willingham’s numbers and if I am (and 63% of the time I am right every time) then those are darned decent numbers to grab in the early 8th round in a 12 team league.  So you are welcome for starting you on the path to a fantasy baseball championship!

Josh Hamilton and The Changing Face of the American League

Josh Hamilton and The Changing Face of the American League

Posted on 17 December 2012 by Trish Vignola

Until recently, the Angels were planning on sporting no more than a $145 million payroll in 2013. Enter Josh Hamilton.

Start giggling now.

It seemed like they were done when the acquisition of two starting pitchers (Tommy Hanson and Joe Blanton) and two back-end relievers (Ryan Madson and Sean Burnett). That pushed them to about $140 million.

Angels’ owner Arte Moreno, one offseason removed from spending more than $315 million on Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson, decided he couldn’t let another winter go by not being the center of attention. The opportunity presented it self and prompted Moreno to push the payroll to a franchise record of about $165 million:

The acquisition of Hamilton makes cost-controlled Angels outfielders like Peter Bourjos and/or Mark Trumbo expendable. This gives them an opportunity to trade for a starting pitcher (like knuckleballer R.A. Dickey of the Mets who is currently in a stalemate in his contract negotiations with the Amazins’). It also counters the big-ticket moves made by the crosstown-rival Dodgers, who are fresh off signing Zack Greinke to a five-year, $147 million contract that the Angels were at one point unwilling to offer. It cripples the division-rival Rangers, who lost out on trading for James Shields, won’t be able to add Justin Upton and can’t bring back Hamilton. Adding Hamilton comes one offseason after the Angels signed Wilson, the Rangers’ former ace, to a five-year, $77.5 million deal.

“Really excited to dust off the Xbox controllers for the next few years on the road,” Wilson wrote on his Twitter account, @str8edgeracer. “It’s a great day to be an Angel/Angel fan!” Speaking to Rangers reporters at a media luncheon on Thursday, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Hamilton never gave his former club a chance to match the Angels’ offer.

“Our full expectation was that the phone call was going to be before he signed, certainly not after and giving us an idea,” Daniels told local reporters. “Josh had indicated recently, last week, he told us he felt it might be time to move on, but that we were still talking. I’m not going to get in to the reason, technically, why. I thought we had additional conversations this week that had moved it along in a positive direction. Apparently not.”

The 31-year-old Hamilton won the American League Most Valuable Player Award in 2010 and has long been considered one of baseball’s best all-around players, hitting .313 while averaging 33 homers and 107 RBIs the last three seasons. With the Angels, Hamilton’s left-handed bat seemingly fits perfectly behind Pujols in the cleanup spot. The likely scenario MLB.com trots out is to have Hamilton starting in left field, Mike Trout staying in center and Trumbo in right. This makes the chances of Bourjos being dealt more likely than ever.

Although he wants to stay in Anaheim, but Bourjos wants an opportunity. “I’m not sure what’s going to happen now,” he said when reached by phone Thursday. “But at the end of the day, from my perspective, I just want to play. I really don’t want to go through what I went through last year where I wasn’t playing. The last two months, I got like three at-bats. So hopefully, if I’m the odd man out, hopefully they’re willing to trade me and I’m able to go somewhere and play every day.”

With the Angels bottomless pockets and the Yankees trying to get under the cap, the landscape of the American League is starting to change. No longer will big spenders be solely relegated to the Northeast. Will this guarantee that all roads to October will lead through the left coast? I’m sure that teams like the Baltimore Orioles and the Detroit Tigers will have a lot say about that. Nonetheless, the hot stove just got very interesting.

Bourn on the Fourth of July

Bourn on the Fourth of July

Posted on 06 July 2012 by Dennis Lawson

The final vote frenzy to select the 34th man for each All-Star team was rife with sketchy alliances, bad slogans, and no small amount of angst.  Lost amongst the barrage of hashtags, team emails, and unofficial campaign managers was perhaps the biggest All-Star snub in recent history.  Michael Bourn quietly went about the business of playing baseball, and that is a darn shame.  The relatively amount of fanfare dedicated to Bourn was actually a little underwhelming.  Maybe the talking heads spewing forth their opinions about how unreliable defensive metrics appear to be had an impact on Bourn.  Maybe not.  Regardless, the point that one of the premier leadoff hitters and defensive outfielders in the game failed to make the All-Star team in any form deserves some scrutiny.

Just his slash line of .307/.360/.452/.812 merits him some consideration, but the 57 runs scored, 106 hits, 7 HR, 32 RBI, and 23 stolen bases should garner enough support to get him to KC in a National League All-Star jersey by itself.  If not, then the NL leading 24.0 UZR/150 should put him over the top.  Since this game counts, shouldn’t at least someone be interested in putting one of the most complete players in the league on the team?  Jay Bruce?  Really.  He doesn’t even make the top 25 in the NL among outfielders with his -7.1 UZR/150.  For perspective, that puts him behind the likes of Matt Holliday, Jason Kubel, and Drew Stubbs.

At anything close to his current pace, Bourn has a career year already in his sights.  The fact that his accomplishments will likely not be punctuated with an All-Star selection boggles the mind just a bit.  Let me tell you just how many NL players have produced more WAR this season than Bourn.

That’s David Wright, Joey Votto, Carlos Ruiz, and Andrew McCutchen.  34 players on the team, and they could not find room for Michael Bourn.  Did the support Chipper Jones received hurt Bourn’s chances?  Probably.  You can only spend so much time firing off one text vote after another before the battery in your phone demands attention.  Still, it seems like a complete breakdown of the whole system, and Bourn slipped through every crack possible.  The fans and the impressive moral ineptitude of the Giants as an organization screwed the pooch on the vote.  The electorate comprised of baseball’s players and coaches fumbled the ball away into the stands, and Tony La Russa just grabbed names out of a hat that apparently didn’t include the names Cueto, Phillips, or Bourn.  While I completely understand the first 2 missing out, I don’t get the omission of Michael Bourn.

La Russa had to know that Bourn had an ice cube’s chance on a Kansas City sidewalk of getting voted in at the last minute.  He had to know that the sympathy vote would put Chipper ahead of Bourn, and he had to know that Cardinal Nation would endure repetitive stress injuries to get Freese a metric ton of votes.  Can we get a “Commissioner’s Selection” in the 11th hour or something?  Rock, paper, scissors best 2 of 3 to replace Sandoval with someone who has played in more than 50 games.?  Among the land of the ridiculous, Bud Selig reigns supreme.  No greater indictment of his ego-addled brain exists than the current All-Star game selection system, unless you want to consider that an exhibition game counts for something.

Then again, it’s not a break.  It’s work.  Or so Hunter Pence would tell us.

Please, just someone tell me that the next time Bourn deserves a shot that the Braves will come out swinging with a “Bourn on the Fourth of July” slogan.  If not, then the #Barves hashtag should trend on Twitter from here to eternity.

Man Broke Into Deli, Stole Cash And Meat

DICKSON CITY, Pa. (AP) – A bag of stolen cold cuts has landed a northeastern Pennsylvania man in the cooler.

Police say Leonard Taylor broke into a Dickson City deli, made himself a sandwich then took off with a bag of cold cuts and cash on Thursday.

Officers say they saw an intoxicated Taylor sitting on the steps of a demolished home and counting money. He told police he'd been asked to hold the bag of deli meat by a couple who bummed a cigarette from him.

The Times-Tribune of Scranton reports Taylor was arrested after police say they checked a nearby deli and found signs of a break-in. Police say a receipt found with the meat linked the money to the deli.
