  1. Snell's first 3 starts this year shoulda been at SAC...his ego waisted a roster spot for a month and cost 3-4 losses

    1. Did it help Montgomery? Giants pounded him. Last start 6/27 gave up 7 earned runs in 2+ innings.

    2. Good point...but Dbacks have gotten a lot more value from him than we've had from Snell. Both blew it, as did Boras overplaying his hand.

  2. I found it interesting that SS Christian Koss (my under-the-radar minor leaguer) got a promotion to AAA and that Luciano is now playing at 2B. Koss is slightly old for this level, but seems to have pummeled AA pitching. I will be curious to see how they manage the positions going forward.
