Apparently the Marlins are considering Pudge Rodriguez for the manager role.

Harper has never been projected to hit for the sort of average he is displaying now. He was hyped for his insane raw power at such a young age, his advanced plate discupline, and his overall athleticism. He was never projected to consistently hit for a high average. Highly doubtful that he maintains a .326 average.
Trout/Miggy are still the best players in baseball.
LOL the Marlins are making Dan Jennings (their GM) manager.
There’s little precedent for such a move, although the D-Backs took a similar course in 2009 when the moved A.J. Hinch from the front office — he was the team’s director of player development — to the managerial role after dismissing Bob Melvin. Hinch, like Jennings, had never managed or coached a team at any professional level in the past. Back in the late 1980s, the Indians named John Hart manager for a brief 19-game stretch to close out the season before transitioning to president of baseball operations the following year.

Cubs DFA'd Phil Coke today. His results so far this year have not been good, but still seems kind of bizarre for the Cubs of all teams to do this given that his velocity and peripherals have been fine. If he clears waivers, I think he'd represent an upgrade for our bullpen.
Corey Kluber is on an absolute filthy stretch right now... last 14 2/3 innings, 30 strikeouts and 0 walks.

Look, I'm not Harper fan and I'm sure I haven't given him the credit that he deserves. At the moment, he is flat out showing he can be a superstar. But on NO PLANET is he a better baseball player than Cabrera or especially Trout.
Yup, Trout and Cabrera would play through a torn ulnar collateral ligament. What a pussy Harper is.

Never called him a pussy. Just pointing out that injuries and sports go hand in hand. Especially sports like baseball where you play 162 games a year. Miggy played 2013 with injuries like a groin strain and more and won the MVP. Miggy is tough as nails. Now he's also not an outfielder.
