It's been a whole weekend since FanHouse's Frank Piliere released his Top 50 Free Agents list to the world. After taking some time to digest the list in all its glory, we decided to go to our in-house expert for some more details on his thinking.
Why did John Lackey beat out Matt Holliday and Jason Bay for the top spot? Why did he see Rich Harden and Marlon Byrd in such a positive light and guys like Adrian Beltre and Mark DeRosa less so?
Listen in after the jump as Piliere and I dive deep on his Top 50.

The American League Cy Young Award winner, Zack Greinke, was announced Tuesday and the National League Cy Young winner will be announced Thursday, so what better time for the MLB FanHouse crew to discuss both pieces of hardware.
In this edition of BaseCast, Jeff Fletcher, Ed Price and I discuss the implications of Greinke capturing the award, both for the voting body and for the team he plays for, before trying to wrap our head around the intriguing NL race, which features three excellent pitchers (Adam Wainwright, Chris Carpenter, Tim Lincecum), but no clear favorite.

It's hard to imagine a busier day in the baseball world than Thursday. As if the frantic nature of the rapidly approaching July 31 trade deadline wasn't enough, the New York Times broke the story that David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez were both on the infamous "List" of players who tested positive for a banned substance in 2003.
Naturally (not chemically-enhanced), the MLB FanHouse crew -- myself, Ed Price and Jeff Fletcher -- was there to offer instant analysis on Ortiz, the blockbuster Holliday and Lee trades and what lies ahead with the deadline just hours away.

While the entire baseball world waits on the Blue Jays and Roy Halladay heading toward the July 31 trade deadline, the Oakland A's possess a pretty intriguing chip in their own right in slugging left fielder Matt Holliday.
Will general manager Billy Beane decide to move him? What type of package could the A's expect in return for him? And would moving to pennant race get his bat going again? FanHouse's Jeff Fletcher joined me to discuss all those things, and to break down the AL West race in the latest BaseCast.

The All-Star Game is just a few hours away, so what better time is there to catch up with MLB FanHouse writers Ed Price and Jeff Fletcher on the scene in St. Louis to preview the 80th Midsummer Classic?
In this edition of BaseCast, Price and Fletcher talk with yours truly, Andrew Johnson, about whether AL manager Joe Maddon and NL manager Charlie Manuel chose the right pitchers to start the game, what, if any, surprises there are in their lineup cards and whether the National League can end its 12-game winless streak Tuesday night.

The baseball world will descend on St. Louis next week for the All-Star Game, but with road series at Miller Park and Wrigley Field before the break, the Cards already seem to have the attention of the hardball-loving universe.
With that in mind, we reached out to St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bernie Miklasz to get some insight on Tony La Russa's crew, the awesomeness that is Albert Pujols, and what kind of celebration the All-Star Game will be for St. Louis.

The Midsummer Classic is less than a week away. That means the baseball world is consumed by two things -- the good, the bad and the ugly of the All-Star Game (snubs, rules, Home Run Derby, etc.) and the growing buzz on the trade market heading toward the July 31 non-waiver deadline.
In the third edition of BaseCast, hosts Will Brinson and yours truly, Andrew Johnson, talk everything All-Star Game with Jeff Fletcher, then size up the trade market with Ed Price and discuss whether the Blue Jays would really consider trading ace Roy Halladay.
In between, catch Jeff's exclusive interview with Marlins team president Larry Beinfest. It's all after the jump.
