Yeah, he's been in a slump for a while but easy to forget he's still a rookie. Still learning. Needs to cut down on those Ks a bit. I think he will. Gotta love the improvement from last year. -
As improved as he been in the field he still has to prove he can hit the cut otherwise he will continue to be run on as we saw against Toronto. Beyond cuts, I believe his last two throws to the plate were so poor they were 30 feet up each line. If he is to be a legit fill-in CF or there for an extended period his arm accuracy has to improve. I really like Cowser's athleticism in LF at Camden Yards but right now his arm makes me cringe. -
With the off day coming up and Povich's performance last night, I could see Suarez skipping a start to be available out of the pen (especially as a piggyback for Povich in NY). This would be a 5 man rotation across the off day, and picking back up as a 6 man on the next time through. This gets us to July 1st, when Kremer is likely back and we get a bunch of off days.

It's been the case time and time again - win and the fans will show up. It's not "crime" or the perception of crime in Baltimore. It's winning, folks. -
This is not a sky is falling post but more of a resetting of expectations one. Holliday has hit .087 the last 7 games. His OPS is now .898. A lot of that OPS is driven by OBP. Normally that is a good thing, but with Holliday he showed little ability to walk at the big league level. I think last year was a bit of a mirage reminiscent of the amazing year Wieters had in the minors when he was touted as Mauer with power. In short, Holliday's inability to do damage is going to allow pitchers in the MLB to challenge him. He won't be walking, like he is in the minors. It's also troubling that in the majors he seemed to have trouble with every type of pitch, not just velocity. I still think he is a very good prospect, but I would take Mayo or Basallo over him and would trade him for the right young starter. I just don't think the upside is there and am worried about the floor more and more. -

The best thread on here. We are more games over .500 than we have losses. -
