Anyone else think Miller will look like his old self again once he starts facing medium strength AL lineups? In his 3 starts against some of the worst offenses in baseball, he's allowed more hits than innings pitched, he's walked nearly 4 per 9 innings and has a WHIP of 1.47. Those aren't encouraging numbers.

Anyone else find it curious that Colon's swinging strike rate is 5.9% which is the worst of his career and his strikeout rate is 8.3 per 9 which is the second best of his career? Swinging strike rate is a really strong predictor of future strike out rates and if that holds true for Colon, he'll be striking out half as many batters in the second half.

Might Yamaico Navarro actually become a better shortstop than Jose Iglesias? The former was barely noticed when he signed and the later was dubbed the second coming of Ozzie Smith, but you wouldn't know it based on their results in the minors. Navarro isn't a highly heralded defensive player but he seems to suffer from Cano syndrome - all the raw talent in the world but he suffers lapses in effort and intelligent play at times.

June 30, vs Philly

It will be interesting to see how Reddick and Kalish who is on the verge of going to AAA perform between now and July 31st. Right field is one of the areas of our team where there's the greatest room for improvement. It will also be interesting to see how Andrew Miller and Dan Wheeler do prior to the trade deadline. Barring any major injuries, it will most likely be one of these 3 areas where we look to improve at the trade deadline. -
Russell Martin 2009 - .250/.352/.329 2010 - .248/.347/.332 2011 - .230/.33/.407 Hitting like that for one year is a fluke, hitting that way for two years is a trend, hitting that way for three years is demonstrative of ability. And his defense this year has been some of the worst of his career.
