    C-Beth pitched an inning for the Padres again tonight and he gave up 2 unearned runs ... oh, and Erick Aybar also pitched. Wow.

    I really thought he would rebound after last season. He was as can't miss as any prospect 2 years ago.

    MadBum to DL after dirt bike accident. First time in his career...

    I imagine the Giants aren't too happy about this

    Molitor had him batting 3rd the first five games of the season, which some up here are attributing to part of his issues. Buxton simply can't hit breaking balls so that is all he sees.

    Yeah he's been awful. I try not to watch too many Twins games, (it's bad for the eyes) but he's just overmatched every single at bat. Great defender and base runner, but useless with a bat.

    Over Trout?

    Trout is the clear #1 until somebody bumps him down. If Harper keeps up what he's doing or what he did 2 years ago, then yes, he would probably do it.

    Could be, but he's got to finish the season first. He beasted the first few weeks of last year, too.

    Ageeed. He seems to have body issues where he's always hurt. Being healthy is definitely an ingredient to greatness.

    I doubt it. But Mike Trout is on pace for his 5th 9+ WAR seasons in his first 6 years.

    Harper is a tremendous talent, but there's already a guy wearing that crown.
