Blake Parker's first 17.1 innings: 1.04 ERA, 0.92 WHIP

Blake Parker's next 5.1 innings: 15.20 ERA, 2.30 WHIP, 5 HRs

Meanwhile, fellow Twins reliever/former Halos reliever Mike Morin in 13.2 innings still has a 1.32 ERA and 0.81 WHIP.

How much longer will that last?  

My hunch is that’s ultimately why we parted with Parker...Eppler and Co. saw something that led them to think he was getting too susceptible to the long ball and he was a time bomb. 

Morin I actually could see doing well awhile. He had the pieces in place to be a good reliever, just couldn’t put it together all at once. Sometimes it takes reliever longer. I don’t expect him to be *that* good, but he could be a solid reliever for a couple seasons straight and I wouldn’t think twice of it.

His problem was he couldn't stay healthy. 19 total appearances over the past 2 years

Bryce Harper is currently 10th in the NL Outfiled in All-Star voting.

If only Trout had as much personality and passion as Bryce Harper, he'd be just as popular.

If we had signed Harper the Angels would be averaging 36,958 in paid attendance instead of 36,901...    So much for Arte Moreno, the marketing genius.

Even his last 30 games look good.

.252/.315/.513/.828 OPS, with 6 doubles, 8 homers, 11 walks, 12 strikeouts in 127 PA. 

Also, am I seeing this right? Albert hasn't played DH in one month? May 12th?

Seeing as he sucks as a DH, that's good news

Meanwhile Manny Machado has become Mr Mediocrity in San Diego.

.247/.333/.425, 1.2 fWAR

I think the folks who thought he'd fall a notch when he got paid were right.

Pujols has a higher OPS 

[ten ocho recon scout]

I didnt want machado, but wouldnt have been upset if we signed him. Would have given us something to watch.

The crazy thing is, the idea was to have him play 3B. Who would have thought la stella would work out better?...

I was reading that Kenley Jensen told the second base umpire that he was going to balk intentionally to send the runner from second to third base. 

Interesting

I heard allen told the ump he was going to send the batter home. 

Every time.

Darvish is starting tonight vs the dodgers. I'm sure those great fans will give him a warm welcome

You could have said the same thing when Dibozo acquired him. Who did the Mariners give up for Encarnacion?

[eligrba]

Good thing that the Mariners have a top 10 farm system to replace Encarnacion's offense.

Carlos Santana, who came with JP Crawford for Segura, Nicasio and Pazos.
