I hope the Pirates jump up in that mess. They could get a nice piece if people are just going to be giving away ****.

Just read a rumor the Yanks might get Brown in a 3 way deal. Don't know all the details.

The top is empty. Kalish has a chance to turn into an above average right fielder who can defend and hit for power. Middlebrooks is the same, except at 3rd base. Not the biggest fan in the world of him though. He's been slow to adjust to every level and that's never a good sign. The rest is all pretty meh at the top, except for Lavarnway, who lacks a true defensive position. Ranaudo is overrated and hasn't lived up to expectations yet. He should be breezing by A ball with his stuff, but he hasn't dominated like he should.
But we've got quite a few lottery ticket prospects down in the low minors that could end up amounting to something. I'm enthusiastic about a lot of the bats in Greenville right now, in particular.

I think Pence is very much above average, especially in the depleted run environment of today. As for his BABIP this year, his line drives are the highest since his rookie year (where he had a BABIP about the same range), and I don't really trust UZR in evaluating his defense because it is still pretty solid.
He's probably not worth what the Phillies will give for him, but he will be an improvement right now and they don't have much to go on much longer. Utley, Lee, Halladay, and Oswalt are all in their 30s and are going to begin to age soon, while Howard is already getting worse and worse before his insane extension locks in, and who knows with Rollins. Phillies need to go for it now.

Pence to Philly is pretty much all but done. Cosart and Singleton are the headliners.

Good thing the Tigers are getting all of the offense out of their system now. They only have to face Dan Haren and Jered Weaver this weekend.

Braves called up Constanza like I had hoped...but of course he's coming up cold after a red hot year. I'm happy to see him up, though.
Freddie Freeman closing in on a .300 average with this hitting streak.

Have I ever mentioned I hate Juan Pierre? I hate him even more when he ties games up though, for separate reasons.

Seriously. All Ed Wade does is deal with the Phillies. He gives his old team all of our players. Granted, I am glad Pence is going to a contender. The guy is a class act.

I actually wanted to see it for a while. He's as weak as they come, but he's been solid in AAA, and he's fast as hell. He may be a 150 lb slap hitter, but he still handles the stick better than Schafer.
Hopefully we'll get Bourn. They're apparently asking for a lot, but I dont really know what a lot means right now. I cant really peg his trade value.
