Mazzaro

Gas can of the century

Altuve has to be juicing.

@Brozay , wasn't I just saying the same thing last night?

Vin Mazzaro also had a game in 2011 where he gave up 14 ER in 2.1 innings. Not sure how many remember that.

Brett Lawrie was once projected to be a star player, and perhaps even a batting champion.
At 26, he may finally be starting to reach his potential.

Through 29 games he's hitting .283/.393/.485 with 17 walks.
His career high walk total is 33.

Yeah, he's been generally great this season. Solid defense too at 2nd. The energy he brings could be off putting to a losing team, but it's been refreshing/energizing to the White Sox so far. He's had good patience at the plate and has hit the ball well

Happy 85th birthday to the GOAT

Hes had good small sample performance,he cant maintain it over a season or he gets injured...

I remember when he got called up in August 2011 and he looked like Bryce Harper

In a stunning bombshell that casts considerable doubt on the Angels’ ability to contend this season, Yahoo’s Jeff Passan reports that both ace Garrett Richards and left-hander Andrew Heaney have damaged ulnar collateral ligaments in their pitching elbows. Richards has a tear in the ligament and is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery, Passan reports, while Heaney has some damage to the ligament and is hoping to rehab and avoid the same surgery at this time. Richards and Heaney entered the season as the Halos’ top two starters.

Cain and peavy are available

If I'm the angels I'd start to seriously consider trading trout they're gonna waste his young years up to the start of his prime.The angels farm sucks they could revamp their system if they traded trout

Walks are generally stable.
I think Lawrie will keep this up.

I called bullshyt on on Trevor Story and so far have been right.
After Story began the season with 6 HR in his first 4 games, he's gone .247/.330/.516...which isn't terrible given the power output. It's still an .846 OPS which is outstanding for a SS. But not on par with the hype from that 1st week.

I'm also betting on Neil Walker coming back down to earth, so if he's on your fantasy team, might as well trade him now.
He's not gonna OPS .850 this season.

@no1es run this @yseJ @FaTaL you guys wanna take a flyer on Anibal Sanchez? Going back to the NL worked for Shark and Cueto. Could work for Sanchez and he can't be worse than Cain and Peavy. His strikeout rate is still pretty high.

What AL teams want Victor and who wants Kinsler? Detroit's gotta move some bodies before it's too late.

I'd take Sanchez

 

[yseJ]

Pretty much a random bum pitcher is better than Cain or Peavy lol

 

[Regular_P]

Kinsler and Sanchez for Joe Panik. Let's do it.

Shark can hit 97, he has talent

At this point I'll take anybody, you can't keep giving away 2 games per week
