Iwakuma failed his physical?

 

[proshares]

I saw earlier that he failed it. Now, I'm seeing that something came up in their review. So who knows.

Rosenthal wrote a piece yesterday saying that by LAD being the 3rd party for the Frazier trade, it set them up with more pieces for a Jo-Fer move. Which upset me enough. A few mins ago, I log on to FG and there's a piece up saying that they should go for Archer instead WHY NOT.

Brandon Phillips at 2B, I can dig it. 2.6 WAR last year, struck out only 10% of the time, and stole 23 bases along with solid defense. Now we need to get a lefty CF.

 

[Los Angeles]

We have just the guy for you: Carl Crawford

Brett Gardner for Stephen Strasburg?

 

[Los Angeles]

We'll give you Crawford for an autographed baseball from Harper.

Dodgers-Rays talking odorizzi...?

We already have too many DL trips waiting to happen on the roster.

Brett Gardner for Stephen Strasburg?

Throw in Andrew Miller and you got a deal.

Iwakuma re-signs with the Mariners

Iwakuma re-signs with the Mariners

News just made my weekend. Our rotation just got so much better in that now we have room for one of our starters to go down with an injury which is inevitable.

 

[darthska]

Brandon Phillips to the Nats, eh?

Interesting.

Ridiculous GOAT stat of the week.........

Over the three season span from 2002 to 2004, Barry Bonds had a .303 batting average, .387 on base percentage and .655 slugging percentage after falling behind 0-2 in the count.

(Just for reference, NL MVP Bryce Harper's slash when falling behind 0-2 was .205/.205/.341 last season, and the numbers above for Barry were over a 3 year stretch.)
