The only reason to recall Montgomery is if his OPS is 900+. Right now, he’s not even an average AAA hitter…and he still needs to improve defensively. The last thing they want to do is have his struggles on that side of the game affect his trying to hold his own offensively…everyone around baseball thought Holliday was going to set the world on fire and he couldn’t even stick, as advanced as his game looked on paper.

This might be the dumbest decision of the season so far. Yes, the bar isn’t very high…but wasn’t the entire point of this season to protect all the prospects at AA and below from being overexposed? It’s not like Ramos is going to sell more than a handful of tickets being up. Montgomery Quero Ramos and Zavala are supposed to be cornerstones for the next .500 Sox team. If they’re going to burn a prospect, let it be a much lesser one in Baldwin who has been hot for weeks and weeks to start the season.

If they manage to mess up Montgomery Quero Ramos and Zavala...it might take another 3-4 years to even reach the level of "average to slightly above average" major league offense.

Why wouldn't they just bring back Remillard? He hasn't been?down long enough? Isn't there a roster exemption for injuries? The guy (Ramos) just gets his confidence back in AA and then suddenly you're going to throw him to the wolves? Seems a bit short-sighted, at best.

Meanwhile, the Twins have now won 11 consecutive, up to 5 games over .500 and closing in on CLE and KC.

Almost the entire AL Central is in the bottom 5 for MLB road attendance...

On current pace for 46 shutouts...nearly 30%.

Grifol picked #5 for his favorite player George Brett. Unfortunately, he has absolutely nothing in common with him.

Is he pitching this weekend?

Obama? Going to have to put out his cigarette first.

Winn the most exciting infielder in baseball right now. Shuster definitely will get a lot of innings this year as a starter or reliever.
