Great as always! How's that Elian Pena doing? After a poor start, he seems to be mashing!!!

He had one crazy huge game in June and has been good early in July.

In addition to what David wrote, I offer that Peña made his 11th error today in 20 games played at SS.

We have learned that guys with holes in their bats never fix that problem (Neyens).

Jake Mangum was pooh poohed by the Mets because he didn’t hit with enough power and hit too many ground balls. But, as the Rays showed our brainiacs, that can be fixed (Wideman).

I like what you are saying about Mitchell. I’d take a chance on him, not Underwood.

Maybe I'm naive but Nolan McLean should have had a start when there was a need in the rotation. Stearns philosophy is that a prospect and a potential rotation piece should get more than one start. I don't agree. He promoted Tidwell didn't he? Concerning Tidwell, the could be of value as a multi-inning reliever. It seems that he can handle one time through the batting order.

Gilbert isn't ready for MLB. Could Alex Carirllo help the MLB bullpen? JohnfromAlbany thinks so and included an informative video.

You are not naive. It would have made more sense to have McLean start. I have heard Carillo could be headed for the bullpen. I don't have explanation on some of the spot start decisions.

Carillo was selected today. DFA Pop. Winker was reinstated and Marte went to the IL.
