Making important decisions based on tiny sample sizes sure is fun, though, isn't it?
What a bad game. The three home runs the Cardinals hit were to almost exactly the same location. I felt like I was being forced to watch the same terrible play over and over.
Snell had watched his team swat three homers before the game was even four innings old, but kept...

Giants DFA Jesse English
I think he'd be a solid waiver pickup for the Bucs. Lefty, 24, spent most of the year in AA. He doesn't have exceptional stuff, has some red flags on his medical report, and struggled a bit this year, but I still think he'd be a good depth...

This is a very small item for a slow day, so no need to get excited, but: I was inspired by WTM's photo journal earlier today and I checked on a number of prospects in the Pirates' system. I think if I were writing another Top 30 prospects list now, I'd probably have...
