    Well, Baseball is a very detailed sport with a lot of stats, I think you will need a lot of content to really pull it off and that theme is not the one for it.
    Also, the first thing I see, and most of what is on the page is ads...too many ads. As soon as the page loads, you have 3 ads right in your readers face...that is a big turn off.

    If you have good content, a nice design, and proper SEO, you don't need to bombard your readers with ads to make money, a couple of well placed blocks will do....the other way around, and you won't make a dime because readers will look at it as an MFA, which is what it looks like now.

    Good content will drive clicks to your ads, not the other way around.

    Thanks for your detailed feedback, actually i never have any interest in Baseball, the content as you can see is on autopilot and the purpose of this blog is to actually investing on this niche for SEO aspect not totally for adsense :D

    It is very difficult to capitalize on a niche on autopilot, that means that there is no original content..those are a dime a dozen.
    What are trying to accomplish creating a blog that you have no interest in, about a subject you don't know about, with duplicated content ?

    You want this for investing, i.e. "selling links, posts etc on this niche."

    Let me ask, why baseball? I'm just wondering where the demand is coming from for selling links, posts for baseball?

    In addition, to be honest, I think if you went with a niche within baseball you would be able to draw more value to your blog thus you could actually get some value for links & posts.

    The design is not bad but I do not like your placement of the ad links ad I think you
    should remove it.

    I like the simplicity in the design of your blog. Your ads seem well placed (getting any clicks? :)) and I like how you have the photos setup on the side.

    I do suggest you try setting it up to show more articles on the homepage than that. Maybe the 5-10 most recent articles?

    Good start though! :)
