Even Bregman cracked the top 5 in ASG voting for 3B (lol) but Gurriel and his glorious hair are nowhere to be found at 1B And jeez, considering there were no Astros starting in the first results released, Altuve is really running away with it and Correa was down by like 800K at first now up 300K  https://twitter.com/MLB_PR/status/877208175778377728 Beltran at #7 for OF is a joke, he's OPS+ing 91 with a slash of .235/.285/.415 and primarily being used at DH Intruder fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Jun 20, 2017 |

Also I just saw the thing on Deadspin about how George Springer is using the bat designed for Mookie Betts. I had literally never seen the axe handled bats before. I think about all the blisters I could have avoided... (never felt quite right wearing gloves when playing softball) (more accurately I basically always forgot my gloves) Intruder fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Jun 20, 2017 |

Albert is exposed as the steroid monster he is and gets Bondsed The Lidge homerun is retroactively rescinded, and baseball uses WhatIfSports to determined who the real champs would have been over the last 13 years if Pujols hadn't been in the league

I'm really surprised Holliday is trending that well as DH. I thought he was mostly just walking a ton with a couple of timely, dramatic hits. Was I wrong or is this just Yankees fans stuffing the ballot box?

Bartolo Colon scratched from his upcoming start for "back tightness", canceling plans for a six-man rotation brought on by Brian Snitker's "brain dumbness".

If Garcia keeps pitching well and Matt Adams keeps raking, the Braves might be very popular over the next five weeks.

So they're just going to DL him/sideline him for "discomfort/tightness/fatigue" until he retires, huh? Huh.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:Rizzo's slash line this June is .400/.507/.750. Since he moved to the leadoff spot, he is 5-5 with 2 homers, a double, and a walk in his first PA of the game, with his most recent leadoff hit being a gently caress your shift bunt single. Rizzo just homered again to lead off the game

Given that they could get a really good return, is there any chance of Freeman being traded?
