MLB Random Thoughts - Week 14 [7/2 - 7/8]

He was a tremendous hitter at Ga Tech and Tulane, I was always bummed the D'backs chose to make him a pitcher.

It is all about what the organization needs at that time. Nick Markakis went from a pitcher to the outfield because the Orioles needed a positional player in the worst way, despite the fact many thought he would be a better pitcher.

You need to check the injury report before you celebrate too much...

Already saw it. It's devastating, mainly because I need a new avatar now, but also because it means we won't be able to use Pastornicky as trade bait.

Send this man to Cooperstown.

Who would of thought that the A's would be sitting at 43-43 heading into the All-star break. 8 games back of Texas for divison and 2.5 games back of the wildcard.

What a 1st half for Reddick. He's really enjoying himself there with that young group, and the fans love him. Hopefully he sticks around for awhile and their fans can watch him develop.

Sigh of relief! Dodgers managed to hold onto first place to close out the first half of the season. Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier will be back next week and a few long-term injury players are also looking for a return/2012 debut (Rubby De La Rosa, Matt Guerrier, and so on).

How about this stat

For his career, Owings' ERA+ is 91 and OPS+ is 106.
