Seriously... Didn't help his power numbers though, only 11 HR.

I'd like to say I'm surprised....but I'm not.

He really came out of nowhere the last two seasons, a huge increase in production that rivals what Bautista did.

Okay, time for Double Play Delmon again...

There is more to power numbers than just HR's.

Look at his Slg. and OPS the last 2 seasons compared to the rest. Hell look at his OPS+ that's an unreal jump.

Yeah I know, I'm just saying it was as drastic as an increase as Bautista's numbers. Bautista started hitting 50 HR out of nowhere.

GJ, you jinxed him into not getting a GIDP.

I'm behind this system.

Is there any way to find out how many times Prince and Miggy have been left on base this year? I would have to bet they are among the league leaders!

Damn, that was a good chance to put this one out of reach.

Well consider they both went from being barely replacement level players, to superstars in the span of one off season.

Dodgers prolly just wrapped up the West, ordering Champagne as we speak.

Now we just need some Sox players to test positive to help out the Tigers.

I'm sure A.J. would test positive for Estrogen, but I don't think it's a banned substance. :shrug:

Another quick inning, might get 7 out of Max today.
