sorry consig, wala siyang going rate as of now.

he's staying here for one full season.

sakto pa naman yung pick.

 

dicey pa rin ang staff namin.

but its near to full strength.. :)

 

im actually wondering about joshua fields...

posible kayang ma-call up yan even this year?

i know he's the future..

also, boras client din pala..

 

2 M's in one post.

 

There's a big chance Morrow will start the season on the DL just like last season. The good news here is he's a starter until proven ineffective in the rotation. The M's will try to limit his IP though, so the "forced" rest due to DL will further limit his IP and I believe that will be good for his relatively inexperienced (as a starter) young arm.

 

As for Josh Fields, there's a great possibility he will be called up especially if the just-recently picked Cordero won't be ready by mid-season (which I think would most probably happen. IMBHO, Cordero will never be the same pitcher as before - it was reported his FB was just at low 80s right now - but I have been wrong :) ). Now, if only Borass let the kid immediately sign after the draft last June, Fields might now be the designated closer - wrong move Borass/kid -> you would have been closer to your FA.

Hereunder are some excerpts from the book I just finished a few weeks back.

 

The good Cobb:

- Not once, but six times, he reached first base on a single, stole second, then stole third, and then stole home.

 

- Cobb won 12 batting titles, still a record. He won his first at age 20, the youngest person ever to do so.

 

- In 1911, he led the AL in batting average (.420), hits (248), runs (147), RBIs (127), stolen bases (83), doubles (47), triples (24), and slugging percentage (.621). The only major category he didn't lead was homeruns, in which he finished second.

 

 

The bad Cobb:

- In 1910, the winner of the AL batting title was set to receive a car. Going into the last week of the season, Cobb led Nap Lajoie by 4/10th of a point. To preserve his lead, Cobb sat out the last five games... and won the batting title (and the car).

 

- Cobb, an unabashed racist, once slapped an African-American elevator operator because he was "uppity." Another hotel employee intervened, and Cobb pulled out a knife and stabbed the man, who was also African-American.

 

- After trading insults with a heckler named Claude Luecker for six innings at a 1912 game, Cobb climbed into the stands and started punching the man. When onlookers cried for him to stop because the heckler had only one hand, Cobb kept punching at Lueker and replied, "I don't care if he has no feet!"
