    Now that's a team I think we lineup with well.

    I don't know why they'd want Julio in that park, but I can see them making a move for an established innings-eater like Teheran.

    Matt Harvey got the DFA from the Mets after refusing a minor league assignment

    Would you take a flyer on him, if he would accept a minor league assignment with an opt out to see if he can figure it out

    Nope.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I saw that too and MLBTR noted he had a 6.00 ERA in AAA this year. I doubt he does well vs Houston if he cannot do better than that in AAA. I wish him the best though.

    He’s been hurt by the longball (which probably doesn’t bode well), but he’s had a strong k-rate (9 per 9), and I’d expect his bb-rate (4 per 9) to improve, given his history. Small sample, regardless, but I wouldn’t bet against the little guy.

    I am not so much betting against him as I am betting on Houston. I rather him get his first start against the Mets. I would like his chances better vs them.

    Pujols reaches 3000 hits.

    Ichiro has about 3100 plus his 1278 NPB hits.

    Markakis headed fast for 2100. Can he reach 3000?

    Freeman at 1122 after less than 8 full seasons. If he can keep his wrists healthy he might can get there.

    Pujols is such a beast. One of the best to ever play the game.

    No doubt. He's got 620 doubles and should reach 2000 RBI this year. He can still overtake The Babe and Hank for the RBI title. I hope he gets there.

    1122 hits in 7.25 seasons avgs out to 154.8 hits per season. At that pace, he would have to play 19.4 seasons. He is 28; I'm not sure he can sustain that pace till age 40. Hope he does though

    Freeman has little chance to get to 3000.

    I was just comparing Freeman's stats to Chipper's to see if he could possibly be on a HoF career. What I learned was --- Chipper sure was good. I think I forgot how good he was.

    Injuries derailed him from getting to the 3000/500 lists but yeah....he was severely underrated even by a lot of Braves fans.

    Freeman has a shot at the HOF but he needs to keep this level of play up for a lot longer than most 1B last.

    He's pretty well put together, so he might last longer than most. His height might eventually stress his knees.

    Then there is the DH.
