lol

.048 thru April will do that

Now at .223 and 1 homer.....inching his way to an XL coffee.....

Not much to complain about, but no reason ever for Tyler Austin to play vs RHP

No matter how good he looks vs LHP, he will not duplicate that vs Righties, Boone tried pushing his luck tonight

I wish David Robertson was in more 3-2 counts......He has zero confidence in his fastball and if his curve isn't on.....He's F'd....

which is pretty premature given that he's been an above average offensive 2B throughout his career, and it's not like he was coming off a down year (110 OPS+). I thought that was a great signing.

Yanks did a great job with the Walker signing. $4M for a guy that's been worth ~2 WAR pretty much every year since becoming an everyday player is a steal. Walker's been a steady offensive 2B and has never had an OPS+ lower than 106 and has been an above average offensive 2B every year (per wRC+ and OPS+)

He is a perfect bench player though

Surprising on the Stros considering they can't hit, but o guess when you literally shut everyone out

Chad Green is concerning, he gets absolutely blistered every time out, that straight heat ain't fooling anyone, even his outs last night had the OF running down shots

Think the Cubs somehow land him, they need another bat, and they are one team that could lock him up

Yup, pipes straight fastballs in constantly.....He's not getting the late movement he had last year and those pitches end up far away......

Didi breaks out with a nice 1-5 game.....like 2-49 in this slump....Makes Neil Walker look like Babe Ruth.....

 

[nynasty]

12HR !! ahead of the pace for team HR set by the '97 Mariners.

This team mashes.

Trivia answer has to be Adam Vinatieri.....

Good call. Could not figure that one out.

I missed the answer to the one the other day-what player drafted by the Yankees in 1981 is in the HOF? No clue there either.

My guess is that he played football...Maybe a QB with horse like teeth.....Also, Fred McGriff is from the 81 draft and should be considered for the HOF.....

Also never understood why McGriff retired 7 HR short of 500. I guess it's not the milestone it used to be anyway.

He was toast at the end....Think he finished up with the Rays.....

This is interesting..even though he's only played 25 games, Gleyber Torres trails Shohei Ohtani in WAR 1.7 to 1.4.

I'm thinking maybe they need to hold off on engraving Ohtani's name in the ROY trophy for a bit.
