I still think he's over-thinking it. It didn't work last year and when they did win the WS Hamels was the only one he had and was still a young one.

It doesn't matter...I laid big bucks on the Phillies to make the WS

How many less would Bautista have if he didnt have "the guy in the white shirt"?

Zero

How could they keep it a secret when players change teams?

A good hitter often knows what pitch is coming and you still have to hit it.

I think Bautista still takes the HR crown...

the thing I love most about Granderson's swing is how short it is now... Been watching him since those adjustments last August... its enabled him to hit left handers with more frequency as well... he's just been money and everything is absolutely smoked when he makes contact

He just hit #32... The Grandy Man Can...

He's got 9, don't know if that's leading or not. Yunel Escobar has a few (only know from my fantasy team).

The Giants last 21 HR's have all been solo shots. I wonder how close they are to setting a record.

I know who he is. I know he has been playing well. I know the Brewers are hot. Why does he refer to himself as Tony Plush?

Per Wikipedia.

Morgan frequently refers to himself as Tony Plush, which he states is his "name on the field" or his "gentleman's name." Under his nickname, Morgan will occassionally make a hand signal to look like a "T" after reaching base. In 2011 Nyjer created his own twitter account. With over 20,000 followers Morgan often tweets after games using his catchphrase "AAAAAHHHH GOTTA GO!"
