Oh yeah!!!

It has begun! Surprised it happened this early though, skipping AAA entirely. I think DD realizes that we need to put the best team out there we can.

Amazing. Now that the trade deadline has expired, I finally get to bed at a reasonable hour and what happens? Benintendi and Arcia are called up and I'm the last to find out.

Would have listed some of their cards already, had I known.

Benito Santiago is making a comeback?

You mean the infamous '96 Bomb Maker?

Most people will sell now, but who plans to buy or hold?

 

[death2redemptions]

Might sell one or two autos but keeping the rest, as I believe he's going to be a beast a couple years from now.

I just wish he could pitch.....

It was Abad night.

And a BS call to end the game-- something I've seen WAY too much of against Boston in the 9th this year:

I guess we can't expect umps to see 99 mph clearly enough. Time for electronic strike zones. This is the only type of thing I hate in baseball-- umps missing calls that can turn games any which way they want...and they know it too. Good eye on AB.

Was just looking at Benintendi's minor league stats and noticed so far for his career in minors:

151 G: has 74 XBH 74 BB and just 63 K. I'm loving those ratios.

Benintendi is definitely a bust

 

[phillyfan0417]

If you aren't selling now you are a real gambler. It is easy to sell today and buy a couple in the off season when he will cool off. Really not much good can happen leaving money on the table right now...

last two starts: 6 for 7, 3 R, 2B, 3 RBI, SB

Anthony said he is a bust, so it must be true.

 

[bmp1971]

Anthony said he is a bust, so it must be true.

8 for 10 in 3 of his first 4 starts! What a bust! Almost Bregmanesque!

 

[scotty216brs]

Not 10/10? Meh, I've seen better.

I think I have a man crush on Benintendi.
