-A Dominant Start by Stratton who now has put together 4 QS out of his last 6 Starts.  Is Stratton closer to a callup than Tyler Beede?

  1. Crick makes it! Will his first appearance be in tight game?
    Beede would need someone to be dumped from the 40-man. Stratton does not.

  2. Miguel Gomez, switch hitter, is 5'10"
    Dodgers had to figure out what to do with 5'10" Steve Garvey after he proved he couldn't play 3rd base.
    He became a perennial all star, an MVP (plus a 2nd), and four time golden glover at 1st base.

    1. Now that's some positive thinking - but actually, not infeasible....!

      Right now, Miguel Gomez's best offensive comp is Pablo Sandoval. Really looking forward to his debut either this season or next. If we're going by Pablo's progression - he'll come up at the very tail of this year and get a few hacks in.

      I wish Chris Shaw had stayed in AA a little longer. Regardless, where does Gomez play if Shaw proves he deserves ABs at 1st?

      Trade Belt AND Panik? Wouldn't bother me, personally, but that's a tall drink for the G's front office. I'd rate it highly unlikely - thought these guys might just force the point this season!
