Best matchup of the year so far.

Harold Riggins with 7 doubles, and a .358 avg. - kind of wish I was given a better chance to go after the super. Who was the FCB member that bought it? I'd love to see it.

Anyways, good list here as per a twitter follower - https://twitter.com/#!/CharlieDrysdale/status/194418535320129536/photo/1/large

Not Milb-related anymore, but here it is. Hopefully he makes a better impression in Oakland than he did for Phoenix.


Parker to start Wednesday
A’s manager Bob Melvin announced Sunday that top pitching prospect Jarrod Parker will be called up this week to start Wednesday’s afternoon matchup with the visiting White Sox.

The right-handed Parker, who missed out on a rotation spot at season’s start because of command issues that plagued him all spring, has worked his way through those and, as a result, is 1-0 with a 2.18 ERA with 21 strikeouts next to just six walks in 20 2/3 innings, spanning four starts.

“He’s been pitching well,” Melvin said. “We’ve always envisioned him being here at some point in time, especially with the stuff he has.”

Parker’s looming promotion comes in the wake of Graham Godfrey’s return to Triple-A. The 23-year-old righty was the key piece of December’s trade that sent All-Star Trevor Cahill to Arizona, where Parker was considered the D-backs’ top prospect.

Following rehab from his 2010 Tommy John surgery, Parker posted an 11-8 record and 3.79 ERA for Arizona’s Double-A club last year. He was called up to the big leagues for the first time in September and impressed greatly in just one start, tossing 5 2/3 scoreless innings and earning a spot on the club’s postseason roster.

Parker will be pitching on three days’ rest, but he utilized just 48 pitches in his Saturday start.

How did I not give you a "better chance" to go after the super? Your offer wasn't even close to the other guy. What was I supposed to do to give you a better chance?

 

[sheetskout]

Jed Bradley trying to stretch his current streak of not allowing an earned run.....

 

[Jaypers]

Francisco Lindor hit his 1st pro HR. :mrgreen:

Luigi Rodriguez also went yard, and was a double short of the cycle.

:shock:



Lindor, NICE!!
Now maybe I will stop getting lowball offers on some of my stuff.

Great day for Ryan Jackson with the Cardinals AAA club. 4-5, RS, 2 RBI, 2B

He's always had a tremendous glove that was near MLB ready once he left Miami, but he's now hitting over 300. He's not on the 40 man roster though as of now.

Descalso isn't hitting at 2B. Only a matter of time till Jackson gets the call IMO

 

[noaskiecards]

nice to see barnes and bundy in the same sentence...hope to see barnes out pitch bundy tomorrow

He has more HRs than Pujols.

I too have been plagued with lowball offers on Lindor.

LOL - that was surprising. But if you must know, I am bad with prices and seeing as how the product was new (nor any other high-end closings), that adds on to it. The blame is on me, since I was pretty ignorant with the former; but since you want to know; next time give me that price. Worst I can do is say no. I gave you a number - while perhaps low , it was ignorant at heart - a "vacuum" number that didn't account for the possibility that other collectors might not have a problem overpaying like me; you gave me nothing back - a big "screw you" would have been enough.

 

[jcmint]

me too just got some of my barnes stuff back. Must be 30 assorted barnes 9.5 autos

nice to see barnes and bundy in the same sentence...hope to see barnes out pitch bundy tomorrow

 

[cstmleather]

Chris Owings another 2-4 game, 2 doubles(6). Now batting .338 and nice 8 game hit streak.

 

[Superfractor]

Corey Dickerson - 1-3, 2B, BB, IBB. Need chrome for this man, as well. If this season turns out similar to his last, fandom is going to start to notice.

 

[Jaypers]

Chris Archer looked good today. 5.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 4 K.
