Thank you for Pujols, Hamilton, CJ Wilson, the Trumbo trade and extending Trout.
Oh and I'll take Salas and Freese over Bourjos/Grichuk right now too.
There's more, but I just wanted to highlight my favorites.
Thank you X 100

Two weeks would be FANTASTIC! 

Hamilton's cast is off and is working out on the field with the team.
Said he hopes to be back in 2 weeks.

lol yeah plan on getting him on the juice real soon to get more extra base hits... singles are lousy eh? 

any Josh Hamilton / Cole Calhoun updates?

btw does it make kendrick less valuable? Would you be happier with a player who sucks the entire game, but comes up big later?
Runs scored in the 1st are just as important as runs scored in the 9nth.

First, release Kevin Jepsen. He's pretty worthless. Demote Frieri to take Jepsen's spot in the bullpen order until he figures shit out. Salas and Frieri are guys to come in the 5th or 6th if needed, as is Maronde. 
 
Promote Michael Morin, RJ Alvarez or Cam Bedrosian and have either one take the 7th inning spot in the bullpen. Kohn can take the 8th inning and Joe Smith closes shit out. After seeing two innings of fireballers, Smith is even tougher to hit in the 9th. 
 
GET. IT. DONE! 

The Baseball Gods want Shuck.

The movement on his pitches.  Kind of reminds me of Scotty.

I'd rather bring up Cron to DH than sign Kendrys anyways.  Unless it's after the draft. 
 
Losing a pick for Morales would be fully retarded.

I say, yes. 
 
Move Howie Kendrick to 3rd, Hamilton at 4th and Pujols to 5th. 
 
I don't give two shits if he's hit 3rd his whole career. Move him down until he's seeing the ball well and gets his mechanics at the plate back. He's pulling his hips and flying open right now which is why he's pulling everything. 

Skaggs, by himself, is at least as equally promising as Trumbo.

I don't know his save percent versus first place teams save percent but I'm guessing it's relatively close. My issue with him as a closer is I don't trust him enough in tie games.

I'd actually like to see him close. I've never been a big fan of Frieri closing 

Nice to see our starter dominate as well. Skaggs was impressive.

He has been quite good in these first 4 games. He just looks like a completely different hitter than he did at this point last year. It's very encouraging to see.

Sorry if this has been posted already..

Pretty cool seeing the minor league roommates celebrating the big contract.

who the eff cares. Arte can do whatever the heck he wants.  simers is the one acting like a little baby pouting. 

He just does the math in his head by converting to grams.

LOL! 

He certainly hasn't done much to inspire confidence yet. And IMO still looks as if he's going to break into pieces while running. Seems as if he's running on his heels. Doesn't look very healthy to me.

LOL! 

Not a good feeling. It's only ST but his approach and results are exactly the same.  Lazy ass ground balls on the left side. I really hopes he comes around but after 2 years I really think his trajectory is set at slightly above average. At least the Reds got a few stellar years out of Griffey. Cmon Pujols prove me wrong. 

LOL! 

LOL!
