Gabe Morales has a VERY high strike zone.
 
And of course Joe West needs to get his fatass in the way.

Frazier has some of the quickest hands in the minors to turn on pitches. Toolsy guy, lots of pop, speed. He had a huge strikeout problem when he first debuted in the minors, but he has shown improvement there. Don't think he'll stick in center field, but his bat plays on the corners anyway.

Sheffield has pretty good stuff. Was a little lower in the rankings because of concerns aboht his size, but yea, really good stuff, fastball can hit mid 90s. Other two guys are relief prospects, have a chance to be decent.

No, it's an overpay. I don't think any reliever is worth that. I like it even less now that the Lucroy deal was vetoed.

Well thats the season for us Mets fans, how the fuck do we lose 3 of 4 to the fucking Rockies?

The hitting has been terrible this year except for Cespedes. I cant believe mets fans are saying the team has to make a deadline deal. No they need to close up shop and hope the players are healthy next year.

Not a good idea to give up when you're 2.5 games out of the Wild Card.

I just dont see them making the playoffs this year. They have the lowest average with RISP in the entire league. Its a homer or bust type of team that sorely lacks that contact hitter that Murphy was with great plate discipline.

Haven't the Rockies been the hottest team in the league since the ASB?

Indians finished sweep of the A's today, much needed since the Tigers won't stop winning

I wanna know why the Cubs thought it would be a good idea to start Matusz against King Felix in primetime. What did they expect, it's Brian Matusz? Keep him in the pen where he may actually be effective.  It's like 5 years since he was an average starter

He needs to be a lefty specialist and nothing more. Cannot get righties out if his life depended on it
