He's reminding me of AJ Burnett.
Nasty stuff, but he just can't seem to get his shit together and be consistent. Some flashes of brilliance but that's it. |

He said he wanted him to be more selective and taking more walks. Since then that has improved too. Here are his April and May BB/KK numbers: April: 4/23 May: 14/17 |

They continue to talk about him and put up stat lines on the broadcasts. Trust me, this kid is getting called up VERY soon. This |

Reports are his defense is adequate enough now, most of his errors came in the first ten games of the season or so. He's committed a lot less errors lately. (not that "errors" are a good way to judge defense anyways) |

The line-up will look a lot better with Lawrie and Lind coming back.
Escobar Patterson Bautista Lind Arencebia Hill Rivera Lawrie Davis A good amount of power and speed. |

Padres won today too, but they weren't much of a dog, I had them at +105.
But, yup, I bet pretty much only dogs too and I took a beating. |

What a loser, can't even get one out. How he's in the majors is beyond me.

I don't really care about this year.
But for the future, looks like Hill won't be an option. Lind, Escobar and Lawrie should do, but that still leaves one hole to fill. And it doesn't looks like Hechavarria isn't anywhere close. |

Goddam, it's sad that Hill is broken. Looks like the Jays will be looking for a new 2B next year.
He's showing flashes of getting back on track but that's about it. |

According to Buck, Patterson isn't getting steals because teams are so quick to walk Bautista with no one on base.
How he has a job is beyond me. |
