I agree. Does he make Harrison available in trade or does he stay in the outfield with McCutchen probably being moved?

(Or Mercer? I do doubt he is looked at as a future SS)

If you can get something good for him, fine, but I won't be the one making the phone calls.

Ya gotta love watching 5,000 lb Bartolo Colon bat. And it took a great catch by Harrison to get him out!

Nova pitches like he's parked in the fire lane out front and wants to hurry up and get out there before he gets a ticket

I'd prefer to keep Harrison around if he isn't too expensive. Mercer I can live without.

Frazier is now 2 RBIs shy of the team lead. And 18 of his 22 starts have been at lead off.

Early analysis: ADAM FRAZIER IS ONE FIRE

Harrison coming around too and David Freeze is pretty important to this line up.

43 pitches for Nova thru 5. Kind of crazy.

Nova's resigning was a good one. He continues to pitch well. If he played for a better team, he would be in the conversation for the Cy Young Award at this stage IMO.

A few guys having big series against the Braves - Frazier and Mercer for certain.

As for Colon, he needs to be put out to pasture and shot. He is done. Funny thing, I saw his Kinston Indians debut in an exhibition game when I was worked for East Carolina University. That was a while ago.
