Bring us some dubs caulf!

21 guys with -0.1 or worse fWAR

Still might not end up with any position players at 2.0 fWAR.

Tauchman Teel and Sosa the best odds of doing that.

Grant Taylor well-liked by fan graph s system.

57-105 pace...where Royals were two seasons ago minus Witt Jr. and an offseason of being the #1 FA spender

Bruce Kimm was a catcher for the Detroit Tigers in 1976, when Mark Fidrych won the Rookie of the Year award.

Come on Sosa, right when i'm really starting to like you

Atta boy Chase!

Ah yes, playing for one run in the 2nd

I still don’t see many signs that Venable is much better than Grifol.  He makes garbage lineups and his strategy sucks.  He’s only better at press conferences because he’s way more likable than Grifol.

HOLY f*** COLSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colson!!

If he can hit those pitches, he will hit 35 a year 

It appears Colson has readjusted. 

Salami!

Grand Salami!!!

ball was obliterated 

Colson the savage!

Dude should be batting cleanup every game

Fourth in rookie homers...Kurtz 26.

I like having players good enough to take advantage of a struggling pitcher

Colson, my god
