I'm sure that Shelton has the answer

Stallings lost his arbitration case with the Marlins. He wanted 3.1 and got 2.45 mil. Stallings is finally hitting. He's 10 for his last 19 and raised his average over the Mendoza line to .209.

Word is Bell is starting to shine as a 1B with his glove. :-[

Yeah, he was the only good part of the Cole deal and BC gives him away to Pads for a relief pitcher who fastball tops out at 96 to 97 in an era where those speeds are common for starters some prospects that are buried in the minors.

Bell credits the Nats coaching with his improved defense. Once again, Pirates coaching seems inadequate.

Reese McGuire traded from White Sox to Red.

And Robbie Grossman to the Braves.

And Matt Joyce officially retired.

Just watched the video of Vogelbach's grand slam last night. He's looking no less jiggly in a Mets uniform. I do like that guy, though, and would've liked for him to stay here to help bring along the youngsters.

Josh Bell was hitting .301 when traded to SD. As a Padre he's batting .125.
