Well, with a 5 run lead, if that's the strike zone for the rest of the night, I'm all for it.

does any other team have close to 8 ? That list doesn't even seem to be much of a stretch. Not to mention Swihart had to fall just outside it. Astros also with 8 and Twins with 7.

Forgot the game was on and just "tuned" to it on GameDay . . . in time for the HR. Still though I'm stunned at Workman's performance. Absolutely terrific!

I don't know what religion Jose Iglesias is, but I'm thinking of converting. He clearly has a mentor above.

The spreadsheet that the Details link goes to lists grade changes in the right most column ("Notes").
With the 2-8 grading system Mike is using this year the ranks and the grades seem to be aligned much more closely than they were sometimes in past years. I don't think there's been anybody this year (with the exception of a couple of oversights that were corrected the following week) who had a grade that better than anybody ranked above them.

Anybody else use McAfee and find that it doesn't like SP? I've gotten warnings in the past but this morning McAfee put SP on my blocked list. Once I figured out what was going on I was able to override it, but I'm curious if it's only me.

It's a shame that Titts was released... I was looking forward to getting a feel for him as a prospect. I think your point is a cop out Couldn't get to second base I guess. Probably wasn't comfortable in the box.
