Truth.

Yup.

For example, in 2014 Joc averaged a HR every 16.5 PA in AAA, but also hit 0 HR in 38 ML PA for a combined ratio of 17.9. He's currently sitting at 20.2, which is still phenomenal for a 23 year old. Combine that with a busy AS Break and him never having played more than 123 games in a season (currently at 102), and it's understandable why he'd slow from 15 PA/HR.

I didn't think that baseball was his game but that play says otherwise.

Pete Rose accused of statutory rapes

Russell has 1.4 WARs. He's basically been mediocre to average. Castro's been flat out bad.

So I guess they don't have the best organization in baseball? The best minor league system in baseball?

Olney:

Since Tulowitzki trade, TOR's 1 to 4 hitters combined: 1.059 OPS, 14 HR, 39 RBI, all best in MLB. TOR has gained 4 1/2 games in standings

encarnacion has been hitting the crap out of the ball this week. By the way, he's available in our fantasy league.

Don't know where to post this, but the Yankees minor league affiliate in Staten Island had a "Blue Lives Matter" day on Sunday to support families of officers killed on duty. Sunday also marked the one year anniversary of the Michael Brown death. I'm sometimes amazed at the level of stupidity and tone deafness people exhibit.
