Remember Eddie Rogers? I was at a BaySox game in 2000, looking at the roster, and was like "Man, this kid is 18 years old and holding his own in AA. He's going to be a star!" But then two things happened: he never really developed, and come to find out he was three years older than his fake Dominincan Republic docs said he was. But he can always say that he had a Major League season with a 5.000 OPS. Let's see somebody top that. -

It's 27, but like I said, roughly 26-31 is fairly flat if you average across all MLB players. Some studies come up with some other age (usually older), but they're often addressing survivor bias incorrectly. They'll just look at productivity by age of MLB players, and not account for playing time. For example, you might find that 33-year-olds hit about as well as 27-year-olds, but that there are three times as many 27-year-olds in the league because 2/3rds of the 33-year-olds have been weeded out of the majors and are providing zero value. And the ones left are the best of the lot. So when doing an aging study you need to add a bunch of ballast to account for that effect in those age groups. -
They are not going to keep a 6 man rotation across an off day -
BTW, from someone who was a Povich skeptic he looked great last night. The curve in particular but also the fastball, cutter, sweeper/slider, changeup all had their moments. In short, he had everything working and attacked the zone. It just depends on how often that version shows up but he was very impressive. -
And then there's Miguel Tejada... Did we ever get his real DOB? -
Kade Strowd has a 7.94 ERA and 1.82 WHIP at Norfolk. I’d be worried whether he had the yips or not. He’s not on the 40 man. I vote no.

We all know the 6 man rotation is not a long term thing. Is the strategy not working? Is the bullpen worn out more than when we have an extra guy? Baker is the last man in the bullpen and hasn’t pitched yet. So far, so good. When it becomes a problem they’ll address it. In the meantime, each starter gets extra rest and we have a 6 game winning streak. Works for me. For guys who make bad lineups and poor roster decisions, 45-22 seems okay.
