How early do these games start sometimes. I swear its 10am Eastern for a lot of these or earlier lol.

And you would be correct. Mid-week games include both morning and early afternoon start times.

That's just insane, I love it. But I couldn't imagine going to games at 9am to graph lol.

It's a lost cause, once a year I can post a Chris Shaw HR bf him lol. That's about it.

I thought it was Buehler's day off... #winning:coffee:

Christin Stewart HR (11)

One of the best power bats in the minors...can't believe his stuff is still so cheap

I think a lot are education days so theres lots of schools that take field trips to the games.

I completely agree here with Christin Stewart. He has proved the power isnt a fluke.

On another note, very glad Newcomb is throwing the ball well!!!

Tyrell Jenkins (El Paso, AAA) - 6-2/3 innings. 3R, 4H, 3BB, 6K. Not a bad outing. Still too many walks though. Also got the loss.

Buehler went 3 2/3 3 H 0 R 1 BB and 9K! Kid looks good. Edit: Why do I even try to beat JP :-)

Looking good! Dodgers need a right handed ace!

Same. Dudes got a solid future ahead of himself power + high Obp. What's there not to like?!?

[Jaypers]

A.J. Reed HR (5) - walkoff

D.J. Peterson is playing LF tonight, for the first time in his career.

[StlScott]

Same. Dudes got a solid future ahead of himself power + high Obp. What's there not to like?!?

His fielding isn't any good from what I have read... He is 23 and going back to AA. 24% strikeout rate.

With that said his numbers are HIS best yet.

Do you sit there looking at Harper and trouts fielding %? If so Simmons would be the new trout.

Yeah people do. It's why Trout's WAR is so high. Ditto Harper. Trout would be merely great if he weren't a superlative CF.

Stewart is a DH only. Nearly any scouting report or list or conversation with your local ballpark scout will say the same.

Bad routes and a subpar arm.

The bat will play. But itd be an adventure out there.

Mike Trout » Statistics » Batting | FanGraphs Baseball (http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=10155&position=OF)

Looks like this year he is a negative on the field.... Barely in the positive last season, and same for 2015. (Baseball reference has Trout's glove/arm worth 8/10ths of a win over 2 seasons).

Bryce Harper » Statistics » Batting | FanGraphs Baseball (http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=11579&position=OF)

Ditto for Harper. Harper's actually been worth -1 WAR on the field the this year and last year. (-.6 if we go back and include the 2015 season)

These guys are valuable for their bats.

Are we really having this discussion LOL? Harpers career defensive WAR is literally 0 according to baseball reference.

Trout.... 2.6. Compared to his 49.4 oWAR.
