G-Snarls

Not one person has mentioned trading Jose Reyes.

Only sort of. Lawrie is 3B only and none of the other guys are a legit 3B option. But yes, one of the other infielders will have to be optioned or DFA.

Well maybe a bit better than that. Rotoworld: Brett Lawrie (ankle) took grounders and some light batting practice on Wednesday afternoon. It's a nice step in the right direction for the young third baseman, who injured his ankle on a slide on May 27. He should be cleared to run the bases in about one week. Then comes the minor league rehab assignment. The best guess right now is that he's back in early July. Jun 19 - 4:25 PM Source: Gregor Chisholm on Twitter

Ne. He's just working out. No game type activity yet.

It's OK dude. We'll get to party with Josh Hamilton and Paris Hilton.

The problem is we have 3 so-so middle infielders right now in Kawasaki, Izturis and Bonifacio If we're going to pick someone up I want it to be a large upgrade or else why bother?

It had a conniption fit and got suspended for one game

Baseball writers on FoxSports and ESPN (Rosenthal, Olney, et al)

It seemed likely But guess not...

Things feel quite different now...

After their horrible Aprils, everyone was asking which big off season mover was most likely to recover - Angels, Dodgers, or Blue Jays. No one picked the Angels. A few picked the Jays. And here we are.

True:

This list reminds me - how nice would Joe Mauer look at catcher? Equally handsome. Better catching and OBP skills.

Yep! There he is:

A highly charismatic one no less, who was in the dugout every day until a week ago...

Why doesn't Instagram give you a file name so that you can post am inline image???

Some stylin' Dominican brothas right there

Umm...

That would have seemed unfathomable 2 weeks ago

Hahaha MLB.com: DETROIT -- Who knew that a seemingly routine fly ball to right field could cause such havoc? Whether it was a catch by Daniel Nava or a drop, as ruled by the umpires, the mishap haunted the Red Sox in a 7-5 loss to the Tigers on Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park. With the game locked in a 4-4 tie, Avasail Garcia led off the bottom of the eighth with a fly ball to deep right against Boston lefty Andrew Miller. Nava drifted back, then settled for what looked to be a basket catch. As Nava reached to his glove to throw it back in, the ball squirted out. Second-base umpire Mike DiMuro ruled it as a drop, and Garcia scooted to second. Fuming Red Sox manager John Farrell was ejected for his vehement protest of the call. It was Farrell's first ejection this season. Things worsened on a sacrifice bunt by Bryan Holaday. Miller picked it up and tried for the safe out at first. However, his throw was off the mark, and Dustin Pedroia -- who was covering -- was pulled off the bag. It was ruled an error on Miller. After Austin Jackson walked to load the bases, right-hander Alex Wilson came on to replace Miller. Torii Hunter did his job, lofting a sacrifice fly to center to bring home the go-ahead run. Following an intentional walk to Miguel Cabrera, lefty Craig Breslow came on to face slugger Prince Fielder. That didn't go well either, as Fielder laced a two-run single up the middle. The Tigers took three out of four in a matchup of first-place teams.

Hahaha. Fortunately you can only lose one game at a time in baseball.

Bring back Happy Reyes! http://gamereax.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/reyesdugout.gif
