I'm making this thread to try and take over the shoutbox and get some more dialog going here. The shoutbox is on the bottom and I cant figure out how to move it, so i thought a thread here might get some more action. It's main purpose is to post anything about the daily baseball happenings and also interesting facts and tidbits. Please keep it baseball related only. Links are welcome to show good highlights/webgems. For those that don't know there is a link button(world with paper) above so you can post the link and then highlight and press that button. I will post a new thread every week on Sunday. Have fun!

Jason Kipnis has a lower .SLG than Michael Bourn, didn't see that happening.

People are talking about Pence being in the HRD over Evan Gattis, which is perplexing. I like both guys, but just getting Gattis in there would be sweet.
As far as Kipnis goes, give him time. He'll come back around.

Pence hits epic bp HR and probably has 3-4 of 430+ this year, I'd love to see him in derby.
Kipnis can keep sucking for all I care lol, he is striking out less this year, that's something.

Jaime Garcia to the D/L? What are the chances - I trade for the guy and he gets the first injury of his whole career (never missed a start) mere weeks later...

The Yanks lineup is a great example of why I like .obp over. avg. They don't hit for .avg and except Tex don't hit for much power but except for Mcann and Beltran who have both been beyond terrible they have decent to very good .obp.

Beltran, Soriano, and McCann have been beyond bad and the Yankees are still 1.5 games out of 1st place.
