Leury must be our most underrated player. We never talk about him as a player for the future but contributes on a regular basis. I guess his occasional brain cramps cloud my judgement. He does a lot well.
Jason talking about Garcia being 4th in the league with 50 hits for leadoff hitters. Gets his 51st while Jason was talking. Pretty good for a guy we don't talk much about.
The worse some guys pitch the slower they pitch. I have a pet peeve about this. Show these guys some Buehrle film or point out on the mound while Gio is pitching. Not surprisingly, the defense behind them would improve as well.
I think fair minded people see we are getting close to turning the corner on the rebuild. With a couple of quality pitching additions I expect us to compete for the division next year.
Remember that at this phase of the rebuild trades don't have to involved prospects. I would look for teams that have major league ready guys who are blocked by an established star.
