MLB is littered with questionable choices.


Baez is in the mold of Starling Marte and Gregory Polanco. Oodles of potential physical talent sitting beneath an empty cranium.  He's also too busy trying to be the coolest kid in class.  If he had the drive of a Pudge Rodriquez he'd be a Hall of Fame candidate.


Braves beat the Cubs 5-2. The Bucs and Cubs are now tied for 4th. A win tonight against doc's beloved Brewers and the bucs are out of the cellar


Only if you think "out of the cellar" includes standing on the first step on the stairs leading out of the basement.

Currently watching the Phillies- Cardinals- prior to Bucs- Brewers.

Cutch is only batting 137. I know he was a habitually slow starter while he was with the bucs. However, at his age, it could be a concern.

I'd be real surprised if he has even an average year left in him. He's just a shadow of the player he used to be. It happens to all of them.

I would take Braun over Alford, Difo, Polanco, or Fowler even right now.

Kershaw out duels Darvish 2-0. Dodgers 13-2. Must be nice to spend money!

This stat surprised me. Aaron Nola, who has been the ace of the Phillies Staff for four years pitched his first 9 inning complete game today. Shut out the Cards 2-0. Today was his 143rd career start. I know that this is the era of the set up man and the closer, but I would have thought that Nola would have pitched a complete game at some point
