He’s raking and doesn’t strike out much. No word about him anywhere, tho.

Plus, I am running the Razzball team in a CBS league.

@L-Boogie: Sure.

@kR Express: Soto, Sure.

@Flunkie: Concur.

@brian recca: re:Blackmon: I don’t see Colorado having the space for him in their crowded outfield. re:Jackson: I haven’t seen anything recently. He was on his way before the injury.

@C.O.C: Lawrie/Chisenhall and Mike Minor/Gibson/Teheran/Andy Oliver

@Gravey’s Illegitimate child: Thanks. re:Robinson: They are definitely a factor. As for an article for the 1st of June. Grey usually provides daily notes on the prospects ready to help once they are called up. I’m here to provide extra insight before they are called-up.

@fitz”: Stellar.

Lastly, is Brett Jackson expected back anytime soon? It seemed like he was on his way to the majors this year.

@YourMomsBoyfriend: And His [Moustakas] .256/.302/.308 in his last 39 at-bats isn’t great either. He has improved since April, but has been on a slide to end May. He’s still doing fantastic on a prospect level. He’s not doing great on a fantasy baseball expectations level. I would be hesitant to bank on solid performance from a prospect that has this kind of streaky patterns in the minors.

@TillmanLover: Cheers.

@fitz: Tough question. I think Lawrie would be fair.

@Principal Blackman: Possibly.

@AL KOHOLIC: Concur.

@Howard: Me too.

@Cheese: Fowlers

@Alpine McGregor: If only I wrote these at night on Saturday. I did predict it by 12 hours. Thanks for the link and compliment.

@AL KOHOLIC: Thank you. I do, if all things are constant, that Dee Gordon is a September call up.

“His (Moustakas) excellent swing and power potential just isn’t making enough solid contact (.264 average in 174 at-bats and 35 strikeouts) to translate production.”

Really? You’re actually not at ALL correct.

A 23 year old in AAA hitting: .270/8/37 with 18:35 BB:K rate is pretty solid. Incidentally, he WAS hitting .210 2 weeks ago. To say that .270 isn’t enough “solid” contact is asinine. His iso is STILL .201. The dude’s hitting, you just can’t see it.
