    Juan Rivera designated for assignment. He's another guy I'd take a look at. I'd prefer him to cameron.

    Just left the lakewood blues claws game in Maryland. Anthony Hewitt was a beast tonight going 3-5 with a blast to left center. Watch out for this relief pitcher Castillo in a few years the kid has nasty stuff. Other then that know one else stood out besides the 3rd basemens def. 10-5 lakewood with 18 hits.
    Go Birds!!!!

    "this time it counts." thanks, bud. :roll:

    as utterly absurd as an all star game deciding home field in the sport's championship series is, having three fifths of your rotation make the team is pretty fucking incredible.

    i don't think vic's gonna make it this time, though, since they'll be on the road this week destroying the marlins....

    Espn insider article on best/worst defensive players at their position. Ryan Howard may be improved in the field, but he's still awful. Ibanez got the 'no star' in LF, with -8 runs saved. Seemed low to me, I figured he'd be around -20


    First base: Todd Helton (1 run saved)

    Honorable mention -- Adam LaRoche (2 runs saved)
    No star -- Ryan Howard (minus-12 runs saved), Miguel Cabrera (minus-10 runs saved)



    No first baseman has stood out this year, but Todd Helton has been as consistent as they come, rating above average each of the past five seasons. He's also contributed 26 good fielding plays against just two defensive misplays, a spectacular ratio. Adam LaRoche has been a tremendous upgrade for Washington, though that says more about his predecessor (Adam Dunn) than LaRoche's particular strengths.

    This would be a solid signing. Brutal in the field, but he can hit.


    •The Phillies will likely have a look at Juan Rivera, who was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays this morning, according to Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer (via Twitter). The Phils are rumored to be seeking a right-handed bat, and Rivera would fit that bill at a presumably cheap price. For his career, the 33-year-old (today) is hitting .292/.339/.509 against southpaws.

    I think the old system of the leagues rotating home-field in the World Series was pretty lame as well. It should go to the team with the better record. I remember my younger-self being quite annoyed with the Blue Jays having home-field over Philly in 1993 despite having two less regular-season wins.

    true. i would prefer that over an exhibition game that neither team cares about winning deciding it though. its one of the dumbest things in all of sports, next to one league having a designated hitter.

    but it's tougher in baseball since every team doesn't play each other.

    it's only temporary so that Worley can keep up his usual rotation during the all-star break.

    Whatever. Braves have a 4 game lead in the wild card. Which means the Phils have an 8 game lead fo the playoffs.

    I know, but it still creates an extra roster spot

    It's on his glove, that's why I brought it up earlier. That could be the worst nickname of all time. Even gayer than your dominator or R6.

    I have to say, for having the best record in baseball, this team is really fucking boring. :lol:

    That game last night had some of the worst hitting I've ever seen.
