I
received another $30 in donations, raising this month’s drive total received to
$145. God bless all of you.
Major
League baseball owners will be voting on May 8th and 9th
on whether they will take the pension plans away from front-office executives,
trainers, minor league staff and scouts. It is expected to pass. What nice
guys.
John Sickles pointed out… Tom Glavine went 1-5, 5.62, 12-K, 27-BB, 40-IP in AAA
in 1986.
I
watched the replay of the Mets-Cardinals game on MLB-TV on Tuesday. How can you
not be excited about a pitcher like Mike Harvey?
First, the control and now hitting 100. The boy deserves a lineup around him
The
Reds reassign Billy Hamilton and Drew Hayes to minors camp
St.
Louis released SS Ronny Cedeno.
The
Texas Rangers options out Mike Olt, Jeff Beliveau,
Wilmer Font, and Engel Beltre, Collin Balestar, Evan Meek, Yoshinori Tateyama,
Neal Cotts, Juan Apodaca, Jose Felix, Brandon Snyder, and Brandon Allen.
Travis d’Arnaud – link
- “I feel like I’ve been playing really well and getting my comfort level back
in the box after not playing for so long,. I’m catching well and [my]
game-calling [has been good]. I feel like I’ve been doing pretty well.In the
beginning I was a little too antsy and trying to do a little too much and I had
a talk with Hudgy [hitting coach Dave Hudgens] about just relaxing and getting
pitches I can handle. So far it’s been successful and I feel a lot more
comfortable at the plate.”
Mets
fans… don’t forget July 31st - link - “Yet,
when Marlon Byrd is considered the favorite to
start in right field, it's only just that Mets realists are mostly focused on
July 31, the non-waiver trade deadline. Similar to how the front office
acquired top prospects for Carlos Beltran in
2011, and for R.A. Dickey during this offseason,
there are a variety of current Mets players who should be donning different
jerseys if the organization correctly forges ahead with its rebuilding effort.”
A
nice Cole Frenzel story – link
- A native of North Dakota, the 23-year-old Frenzel became a legend as a high
school player. A left-handed hitter and right-handed thrower, he helped lead
his team to two state titles, and was named an All-State player during his
final three seasons. He also holds the state’s high school home run record with
23. He ultimately accepted a scholarship to play for the University of Arizona.
A
Cory Vaughn siting in an article – link
- Even though den Dekker put on a defensive show during spring training, the
25-year-old struggled mightily in Triple-A in 2012, posting a worrisome
.220/.256/.373 line. The left-handed hitter also struck out an alarming 154
times over 585 total PAs. Vaughn, son of Greg, is arguably the higher-ceiling
hitter of the two, as he posted a .814 OPS with 23 HR at Advanced-A. That said,
the right-handed hitter will turn 24 in May, has yet to play above A-ball, and
similar to den Dekker, has a tendency to strike out (114 Ks over 535 PAs).
MLBTR
reports that the Boston Red Sox are looking to increase their rotation talent.
Seems the 1012 and current version posted the worst team ERA (5.19)in Boston
history…. We might want to keep an eye
on this team as a possible dump zone come July for either Johan Santana or Shaun Marcum for
OF prospect Jackie Bradley or Bryce Brentz.
