He had that 3 week stretch where he
was almost as good as a sub-average 1B in a mild slump.
We always did feel the same, We just saw it from a different point of view, Tangled up in blue.

This is funny
“Nasty,” Minnesota’s Justin Morneau told the Kansas City Star. “He’s 93-94 [mph], but it looks like it’s 97-98.”
The funny part is that he’s really 90-92. He’s so deceptive that he looks like he 97-98 and makes you think that he’s 93-94 when he’s really only 90-92.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Morneau is another shining example of the superior Canadian educational system

The thing I am so surprised about still is how many
players go up there and look at his first pitch fastball. Everyone has to know it is coming why aren’t they jumping on it or at least swinging at it.

Crasnick sucks
He didn’t even include Aviles.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.

I think he wanted
to limit it to one per team.

I think Aviles might be more of a silver lining
We knew Soria was great. Having a non-prospect SS come out of nowhere to have a .900 OPS is huge.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

CON-DE-SCENDING
(clap clap, clap clap clap)
Still, Crasnick is alright. I’m not sure whether he’s 10 times better than Olney, or 100.

Nothing moves merchandise like a cold stare and a 5-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
