Pillar hasn't been victimized by the standard types of bad luck though. He has a .270 BABIP and doesn't have enough of a power reputation for us to regard his 6.7% HR/FB as aberrational. His O-Swing% is a whopping 42.7% and he's swung through 12.9% of pitches. 40 strikeouts and 4 walks in 151 PA. That's beyond dreadful. For a contact hitter he barely makes any contact and has zero control of the strike zone. Also, he'll be 26 in January. This isn't some 21-year-old who should be allowed time to get his feet wet. He should already be peaking as a Major Leaguer.

If Drake really is friends with all the top basketball players, he's worth his weight in gold to the Raptors.

Edwin just hit a grand slam lol

There was a redemption article in January about Sale lol: http://www.foxsports.com/florida/story/rays-prospect-josh-sale-humbled-by-but-growing-from-past-mistakes-011514 What a meathead.

It seems like his movement is of the two-seam/sink type and not the late cutting type that gets swings and misses. Advanced hitters can track it and they can catch up to any velocity.

I thought RickyRo was out for the year...? -
Brad Mills has a 50.42 xFIP...

It was his day to pitch for Buffalo... he was the right choice for mopup man.

Mariners do a great job all around with their broadcasts.

Felix has a shot at a 4-strikeout inning!

This Trouba guy seems like a troll.

Just studying lol Have the game on in the background.

Baubomb!

Get tweeting then! To attain critical mass we need more users.

At the time I posted in this thread that it's tampering Drake is employed by the Raptors and he engaged in recruiting a player under contract to another team. Seems clear cut. The fine is probably good for the Raptors anyway... a national news story is worth something real to the franchise. News of the fine will reach many more people than the initial incident did.

We did, it's #OccupySafeco! Tweet it!

He doesn't make (m)any plays that he's not expected to, but he's a capable Major League shortstop.
-
Here are some real numbers: There have been 238 balls in Jose Reyes' shortstop zone this season and he's made 179 plays. That means he's converted 75.2% of the total possible plays. Andrelton Simmons (the gold standard of shortstops) has a 77.4% conversion rate. Reyes is about 10 runs worse than average over a 150-game season at shortstop, and by ZiPS is 11.6 runs better than average (among all MLB hitters) with the bat. The positional adjustment at shortstop is about 7.5 runs over a season. He's a better-than-average Major League player.

It's spreading like wildfire! Vdubfan, are you a social media professional?

Great matchups this week: A's-Royals and Yankees-Orioles. Jays just need to take care of their own business.

Daniel Norris promoted to Buffalo (AAA)

6 2 0 0 1 10 5 GO, 1 FO, 82 pitches (51 strikes). 0 XBH. In the bottom of the third he struck out the side in order, all swinging (incl. Nick Franklin), generating seven (!) swinging strikes in that frame alone. It's hard to have a better start than that. -
I'm gaining ground on everyone this week Had to sit fifteen quality innings today to preserve my ratios.
-
DD has a great trade history! I tend to think he's decent overall; you could do a lot worse with old school GMs. Cherington's alright but he's not near Beane-Friedman levels.

Remember, they traded Doug Fister to free up payroll room to sign Joe Nathan lol. They wouldn't have had to acquire Price if they still had Fister.
