Granderson feels like this year's Jerry Hairston. What a huge boost he has been. Stearns is batting a really high average on his mid season pick ups this year. Not perfect but pretty darn good and we didn't need to give up any of our stud minor leaguers to do it.

 

This! While the system depth did take a hit with all the deals, I wouldn't qualify any of the players given up as future cornerstone types. They also managed to weed out several guys in need of Rule 5 40-man protection, so that's a win-win as well.

 

Just taking a look at the talented starting pitching staff Biloxi has this year makes me think that not only the immediate future is bright, but the long-range forecast is calling for sunny skies as well :)

wow, can't believe a player actually said that. Kudos to him for being honest instead of giving a cliche answer.

 

Baez is really a fun guy to watch and a truly great interview. If he were on the Brewers everyone would love him (except old curmudgeons)

 

That said... It's gonna be a fun two weeks, everybody.

 

Get your popcorn ready.

Javy Baez is a treat. He's electric on the field, plays hard, and seems to have a positive interaction with the media. I do wish he was on the Brewers, I enjoy watching him play baseball.

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

I know it will never happen but I can dream of a rotation of Hader, Burnes, Peralta, Chacin, and Anderson right for next year?

 

Baez is a better version of Carlos Gomez. They both give 100% every time out there and have fun doing it. They will make mistakes being overaggressive (See Baez's error last night) but I would absolutely take Baez on the Brewers.

I hate Baez......but I'd love him if he were on my team.

 

He's like Carlos Gomez....with a horrible eyebrow trim.

I wanted Baez so bad in that draft & he was mocked to us a ton. I was so sure he’d be a Brewer & heart dropped when he was stolen away by Cubs. The Ks & obp would bug me but I’d love him to be a Brewer.

None of the top playoff contenders play today, which is a nice little reprieve from scoreboard watching. But come tomorrow, it's time to cheer heartily for the White Sox, Giants, Padres, DBacks and Phillies! Go also-rans!
