Around Baseball 2015 Edition

Randy Wolf is still pitching in the major leagues?

I really laugh at how some here think Melvin has somehow resurrected his career. Utter bum.

I don't know about resurrecting his career but his performance this year is pretty much what he did in Tampa the last few years. It's pretty funny in a demented sort of way.

#RedSox announce that they have named former #Braves GM Frank Wren their new senior VP of baseball operations.

So...Dombrowski is President, Wren is senior vice president and Hazen is general manager? Buying office supplies is about to get really complicated at Fenway.
 
A lot of teams seem to like having a former GM on board. The Red Sox currently have Allard Baird, who preceded Dayton Moore as the GM at KC. Wren might be replacing him.

Bill Lajoie was a special assistant to Schuerholz for a number of years and was reported to have some influence.

That AL Wild Card race is getting interesting. 4 teams all within 2 games in the loss column of the last spot. Should be interesting to see how it plays out. Astros have really faded.

Twins have messed up a few times in the last couple of weeks. Blew a 4-run lead last night (they lead the majors in blown leads of 4 runs or more). Angels have been playing well and I wouldn't be surprised if they took the last spot. Angels have Rangers the last four and if the Rangers have clinched by then, they might take their foot off the accelerator.
 
Cards shut down Carlos Martinez for the season.

Dozier has fallen off too. He was there offense for awhile.
 
Everything has been pretty anti-climatic in the NL.

We can officially say Lol at the Nats now. Hopefully the Mets will get swept by the Dodgers.
