JJ finally back in for the O's
Pineda struck out 16 for the Yanks today as they beat Baltimore 6-2.
But JJ homered. (and was the only guy NOT to strike out)


That Pineda trade was always highway robbery to me. Montero was always one of the most overrated prospects in the history of the game. Imagine Seattle's rotation now if you also added Pineda.

The Indians have 2 studs.
The Tigers have 2 studs.
The White Sox have 2 studs.

What gives me a little hope is that Sale is going to get hurt at some point with that delivery/frame of his. And Price is still set to be a FA after this season and their owner is not long for this world, at which point payroll will dramatically decrease for them (they're in Detroit!). But we've still got to get our house in order. I like Berrios/Gibson as at least solid 3's, if not more. And Hughes obviously has shown flashes. Meyer still has a chance. But we really need 1 big gun still. I'd kill to have David Price on this team, but I think it's a stone-cold lock he'll be a Cub next year with it's proximity (1 hour flights all day long) to his home in Nashville and Maddon at the helm.

Unfortunately we have the worst pitching in the division. We don't have 1 stud pitcher.

NL Central is crazy with them, the perpetually dominant Cardinals, and the soon to be best OF in baseball in the Pirates.

Yup. Plus a great front office. And gobs of money. You think the Cubs have money now? Wait until the ticket prices change with a $500 renovation of their stadium complete.

Indeed.

And I was being cheap at that. It's actually $575M.

And it's no wonder they're 22-10

That looks more like the Twins OPS numbers
