8 mil for a 2b hitting .248, 2 hr, 1 sb and 3/4 of the abs.....over a 3 mil 2b .270, 0 hr, 13sb and not injuried....

get the crow ready

Nah. Still would rather have him than Bonifiasco long term.

 

[da55bums]

yeah, make that .230 now

...long term? oh, just watch how that plays out. He might hit.280 next year, that will make it worth it.

Should be interesting to compare the two Duffy starts against Detroit.

PS, heard a rumor there is an expectation for a capacity crowd this weekend. 1st place and winning does amazing things, no?

Well, considering he just came off the DL, not surprised he slumped initially.

really liking Duffy's control lately, looking much more pre arm problems.

Duffy/Venture both pitch decent this could be fun, I was hoping 1 out of 2.

Dyson batting against LHP over Maxwell. Interesting. Maxwell has fallen out of favor very quickly this year. I guess that is what happens when one stops pulling their end in a platoon.

Colon for Ceraco and Ibanez over Maxwell. Much better.

Downgrades team speed though off the bench. I'll take Colon and Ibanez AB's over the two in AAA now though for sure.

Andy McCullough @McCulloughStar Alex Gordon says his wrist feels better. He plans to test it on Thursday in KC. He believes he'll be able to play on Friday.

at least Finnegan's 1st appearance looked great.

Going to be interesting to see what he does in 2015. Right now though, I want to see what that MRI says for Duffy.

His dad and I grew up together and he was a really good player too CSB.

I hope the kid does well for you guys.

what position did his dad play? in HS or College?

His dad was a lefty pitcher and 1st baseman. We had a lot of talent on our team in HS, our catcher went straight into the majors with the bluejays, but his dad pretty much carried us to the state championship here in Texas. He had the ability to play in college, just not the grades or desire.

Brandon obviously got a great deal from his Mom when it came to school.

Not sure if Yost has gone to desperation mode or has gone full retard.
This is tonight's line up....
