#1 Frazier (from CLE)
#2 Torres (from CHC)
#6 Rutherford (draft)
#7 Sheffield (from CLE)

(and McKinney from CHC is #15)

Somewhat similar to what happened to the Phillies top 30 between the Hamels and Giles trades?

Speaking of which, Giles is now pitching really well for Houston. Since June 1, a 1.33 ERA, 32 Ks and 4 walks in in 20.1 innings.

Just checked what the rankings were this time last year and 4 of our top 6 (and 8 of our top 15) were with the organization less than two months, so yeah, we win. I think it's just newsworthy because we aren't used to seeing the Yankees acquiring top prospects.

1 = Crawford
2 = Nola
3 = Thompson
4 = Williams
5 = Alfaro
6 = Randolph
7 = Quinn
8 = Kilome
9 = Eflin
10 = Kingery
11 = Pinto
12 = Lively
13 = Pivetta
14 = Eickhoff
15 = Tirado

Make it 8 of 15. You forgot Kingery.

Im guessing that string of events and pitching subs doesn't happen often if at all that way.

What does Jayson Stark have to say about this?

Astros gave him the closer role today.

I'm so happy to say that, with help from family and teammates, I passed my citizenship test!!!

The Angels are reassigning or firing their director of scouting

Teixeira announced he's retiring after this season

Circumstances are weird as fuck and there are obvious trust issues with players and coaches in the As organization but if he would have informed the players "hey I'm installing a camera to keep an eye on You while I'm in the road to make sure your on schedule." then installed a fake one with a blinky light and was transparent with his superiors.... This actually sounds like an ok tactic..

He hid it in a box though.... That's shady as fuck and makes it seem like He's looking for candid ass and crotch shots. Weird approach bro.

Actually isn't their enough staff on a fucking mlb team to make sure people workout and rehab on schedule and report to thus dude???

Is thus moneyball, do the As not hire trainers under the head trainer that can report to him...what in the flying fuck.

ol friend Nate Schierholtz was suspended 80 games for testing positive for Ibutamoren
