I had high hopes for Francisco Pena when they signed him last year. But, he seems to be off to a terrible start in AAA this year.

Played great last night, but they didn't look like they were having fun like they typically do. Hope this weekend didn't take the joy of the game out of them.
However, watching the maturing process these guys have gone through over the last year has been really interesting.
They went from the Bad News Bears to the Hickory Hoosiers last season, started this season like a a bunch of partying undergrads, and last night looked like seasoned veterans. Very exciting. For better or worse, this weekend was an awakening.

Yeah, me too. 27 HRs and throwing out 40% of runners looked good last year. Hope he's just playing through a tough spot or little injury. I thought he may have some decent value on the open market.

i'm ok with herrera getting suspended (though i think it should be 3 games instead of 5). however, i'm not ok with lawrie getting nothing. he should be suspended equivalent to the number of games his target had to miss, including the game where it happened. so he should be suspended 3 games as well. it's completely absurd to say that a slide like that into second base is perfectly fine. the league needs to get with the program in the 21st century.

It seems this team has adjusted to how the league played them last year. Moose is hitting to all fields and has virtually eliminated the shift that caused him such headaches last year. Hosmer is taking pitches and drawing walks that he didn't get last year. This will cause him to get better pitches to hit and I think you'll see a huge power surge from him in the next month. Escobar looks comfortable in the leadoff and Cain has figured out how to either hit the inside pitch or crowd in and get HBP. We also have strong backup players this year that we didn't last year.

I never thought I'd say this, but maybe Gordon should take a closer look at Moose's approach at the plate.

Gordon will be alright. I used to get so frustrated watching him hit because he always takes his top hand off the bat. It's almost like an matador ole' swing. But, he always gets it going and his defense is enough to say he is always an asset.

I'd be willing to bet that Gordon ends the season with a better average, OBP, and OPS than Moose.

What's the wager? I could totally see Moose having the breakout year we've been waiting for the last several seasons.

My point was more around how he is becoming more and more predictable as a dead-pull hitter and teams are shifting against him in most cases. Moose seems to have figured out that actually hitting the ball the other way can help. Hopefully Alex comes to the same realization. I'm not knocking him - I just have never understood why players - especially good hitters like Alex - allow teams to do this.
