Around Baseball 2014

[jaysfan2014]

Bet Boston is thinking about Stanton as soon as the Marlins decide to trade him, since they have a top system.. but it's still a ways off with Victorino there for another 2 years.

[jaysfan2014]

As much as the Jays are struggling, most of the AL East is struggling. Outside of the Yankees, everyone is within a game of each other, all with negative run differentials. There's no real runaway team in the AL right now outside of Oakland. All the strong competition is in the NL East and NL West, and Milwaukee(they're 6.5 up on St. Louis right now!)

For sure

 

So I'm hoping that AA is doing Billy-Beane style watching and tweaking mid season. (looks like Beane doesn't have to this year LOL)

Brian McCann has been pretty s***** at the plate so far...224/267/353, 71 OPS+

True. It's strange to see the entire AL East with -ve run differentials and the division collectively under .500, and it's almost May.

He's also saved 4.5 runs with his framing. It won't be a bad deal as long as he stays behind the plate.

Maybe but I'm sure the Yankees were expecting quite a bit more with the stick. It is early, we'll see.

SSS but Synder is having some trouble in AAA. Then again he's not 22 yet.

[Angrioter]

Yeah Bautista can be lippy too LOL

Huh. Only 5 games but walks up, K's way down. I doubt the Mets are worried yet though.

 

Still, makes me so happy we kept Stroman at least.

21 + first taste of AAA + only 25 innings + PCL + all but 5 innings have been pitched in Vegas

 

I'm not concerned.

That was such an awesome moment, though. Bautista has some moments like that. I remember he was brushed back twice in at bat then hit a dinger. I also remember him getting some bad strike calls then coming back and hitting a dinger. He's clutch.

Silky.

 

That was pretty slick!

[jaysfan2014]

Yep, Harang's crashing back to earth, giving up 10H, 9ER, 2 HR, 1BB in 4.2IP.

[Ziggyy108]

Arencibia catching --- Oakland 7 runs in 3rd inning.

[havok24]

SO Oakland is now +58 after 28 games even though two of their rotation fixtures haven't thrown a pitch.

 

Jesse f***ing Chavez!!

I was going to say he must have had one hell of a lead but that's against a righty!
