Just happened to be checking out some WAR stats today and noticed that Heyward is 4th in the majors with a 5.1 WAR

#1 in defensive WAR with a 2.88

Hammel needs to turn it around today, yea he was the 2nd piece of the trade but he needs to get warm if he wants some playoff starts

word is the A's are in on Lester, have offered Pomeranz/Maxwell and Alcantara. dont know if thats enough but holy shyt that would be crazy. Gray would be the illest 4 starter since early Steve Avery

the O's can rake, but they need an ace the most out of any contender. they really need 2 frontline starters but Lester would make a huge difference
can you link the article about the offer the a's put up for lester?

gray, shark, kazmir and lester... christ that front 4 is nuts

its one of the guys that contributes to Athletics Nation, nothing close to official

may not even be correct because the Cubs still have a player to be named later and that could be Alcantara. no one seems to know yet

i like what the Stros are doing, think they'll be in pretty good shape by '16

but today, on 7/30/14, WITH NO SPRINGER, 6 earned in the 1st sucks. the pen doesnt need this from his dumb ass every 5th day, stop working the lower middle of the plate you NL Central dikkhead

had no idea Masterson was doing poorly, low risk high reward typical Cards. still think they could be in on one of the big 2

#RedSox in discussions on a deal that would end Jon Lester to the #Orioles sources from both teams say. Would return a pitcher

RT @Ken_Rosenthal: #Marlins on Lackey, per @jonmorosi. #Indians believed to be (Francona reunion?). Two teams that are not, per sources: #Angels #Brewers
