How many World Series have those two won?

Well then, there you have it.

Yikes, knew things weren't great, but the supposed "floor" of Drew Stubbs is even looking unlikely.

From Keith Law:

Bubba Starling, OF | Kansas City Royals

Starling was one of the most athletic high school prospects I've ever seen, but he's been an enormous disappointment in pro ball, looking "lost at the plate" with "no approach or feel" according to one of several scouts I talked to about him, none of whom wrote him up as even an average regular.

He can still run and he's playing solid defense in center field, but he's a train wreck at the plate, with no silver linings to be found unless you want to find hope in him improving his contact rate in the second half while having less success when he makes contact. He just turned 21 on Sunday and doesn't look ready for a promotion to high Class A, so he's well behind where the fifth overall pick of the 2011 draft should be on the development curve.

Noobraska starting QB, 2016?

Andrew Friedman is nothing short of a genius. You can say all you want about WS but we get excited about an above .500 team, if we were able to do what the Rays do over the next few years most of us would be elated. Tampa is in one of if not THE toughest division in baseball and still contending each year for the last few years.
I for one would be happy with a few years straight of what the Rays have done.

Duffy starting in place of Davis tomorrow

Would smash, but she looks closer to 40 than she does to 30.

I'd be curious to know what AF is doing to stay this successful. From what I know he's an investment banker quant type who doesn't know dick about the players. Just their value. And maximizes his portfolio to so speak. Whereas Dayton doesn't know a damn thing about numbers but is an outstanding scout according to most baseball people.

To my knowledge Beane is the only guy who's been able to master both skills.

Some good news.

#Royals C Salvy Perez tells club officials he awoke today with no headache for first time since suffering concussion.

Sometimes its not about mastering both, its about putting people in place that can do their jobs beyond good and into great and get the results from doing so.

outstanding ... hopefully after the 7 days it will be over and done with

Shouldn't we bring back Jason Kendall and start him for the rest of the season just in case?

Kottaras has 5 homers and 4 doubles. But only 3 singles. Hilarious

That's what you want from a guy who rarely plays. Go big or go home!
