Remember former Angel catcher Ron Tingley?  He split time with John Orton and Mike Fitzgerald.

Randy Orton >>>>> John Orton

Not sure if this has already been talked about but I was just looking at some stats and found this pretty remarkable:

Tim Anderson won the batting title with a .335 AVG, which is only slightly lower than his .357 OBP. How does someone with such a high AVG have such a low OBP?

He has 15 BB to 109 SO. 15/109!!! And he put up similar BB/K numbers his previous seasons. He obviously has an incredible hit ability but man that has got to be infuriating to watch.

Pirates are behaving very oddly..   

They have (according to published reports), been actively speaking to managerial candidates..  presumably Huntington took part in that...    Today they canned him.  Now they have put their managerial search on hold so that they can hire a GM???...  Talk about stumbling out of the gates..

Glad Im not a Pirates fan right now -- they are all over the effing place.

this has to have something to do with the Bucs hiring Travis Williams.
