Fine, I can get behind that. Either way, the bench is pretty pitiful. We need a true 4th OF with PH/PR ability, Pennington does none of those things well.
Can we please demote Loup and call up Pompey? It would be nice to have a decent PR/PH option, and Loup is being totally wasted. That bench is just so skimpy, especially since Navarro is useless and Colabello is a DH.

Aroldis Chapman has thrown the 101 fastest pitches in baseball this year. His fastball isn't even an 80, it's like a 90.
Yep, I have no idea why Latos tried to pick him off, he was lucky Hamilton only made it to 3rd on that terrible throw. If the kid could just slash like .270/.300/.350 he would be a fantasy monster. His Yahoo rank (based on 5x5) is 68, and that's with a ghastly .230/.276/.296 line.
I'm looking to move Tommy Kahnle tonight. Young closer, plausible upside. I will basically take any draft pick Rd 4 or higher, first person to offer a 3rd gets him.
