So since it's Friday and I'm wittling down the week 'til the weekend I figured I'd check on my futures bets and see where I'm at...

Toronto under 89
Currently on pace for: 78
This one seemed like a no-brainer from the start. Got a little shaken during the big win streak but it was ridiculous to think they'd improve by like 15 wins from last year. Next year though I think they'll be better.

Texas over 86.5
Currently on pace for: 93
I think this one will pull through. Yu Darvish etc etc etc

LA Angels under 91.5
Currently on pace for: 79
Thank god they don't play my Tigers every week, they've been crushing us this season inexplicably.

Detroit over 92.5
Currently on pace for: 89
Was a homer pick anyway. I like to have at least one so I have more excitement cheering on the team season-long. Besides, they still have 15 games against the White Sox (even though they incredibly just lost a series against them) so the number can be skewed a bit. SHMEH


Looks like the only one that I'm probably going to miss on is the Tigers, and even then they'll still cruise to an AL Central title so it's win-win for me.

Good lord Terry Collins is an idiot. Jeremy Hefner's been amazing lately, tonight included. 78 pitches through 7 innings. Collins pinch hits for him in the bottom of the 7th in a tie game.

Yeah, he was asking WAY over slot. It did allow them to sign a couple other guys who were considered hard signs in Brentz and Tellez who has big power potential so I hope not all is lost.

I like Detroit's chances of coming near 93 wins or so. Especially if Verlander picks it up a bit in the second half. Verlander, Scherzer, Fister is pretty good three and that offense speaks for itself. I don't expect them to continue scuffling like they did for 5 months last year.

Yeah the schedule was weird this year. This past week was their first series against the Sox, and it's July. Somehow they managed to drop 2 of 3 though, lolwut. They do this every year though. I'm actually kinda happy for the Tribe to be contending still at this point but by August they'll be effectively out of the hunt

Tigers will go far this year with that pitching starting. I imagine they'll make a move to bring a reliever in at the deadline as well.

They've reportedly been interested in Bobby Parnell for ages. Not sure the Mets would move him though unless he was a part of a trade package for an impact bat. He's still under team control for 2 more years and seems like he could be the closer of the future now that he's developed beyond just throwing 100 MPH with no movement.

A closer with a 100mph fastball and nothing else? We already have that with Rondon! I'm actually cautiously optimistic with Benoit in the closer role right now (never been a Benoit guy), but the rest of their pen is atrocious. If we could pitch Smyly 2 innings in relief every game we'd be set... haha

Parnell was all about the fastball and was getting burned regularly because of it, but when the Mets brought back Jason Isringhausen in 2011 he taught Parnell the knucklecurve and Parnell's been amazing since then. Actually allowed him to focus on pitching rather than just throwing. Quadruple F (fat fuck Frank Francisco)'s been starting rehab again but I don't really see a point in even bringing him back to the Major League roster. Parnell's not gonna lose the closer role at this point.

Jesse Crain will probably be the most sought after reliever on the market. Wouldn't be surprised if the Sox try to overcharge Detroit though since it's a division rival.

Frank can just be used in low leverage, mop up situations.

I hate saying it, because they were so fucking hot for so long, but it has come time for my Padres to sell, and, because I like to read all of my great ideas, I'm going to state who they should trade, and what they absolutely need to look for in return.

Chase Headley has got to go. They likely missed a huge opportunity to move him in the off season, and waiting has lead to Headley's value likely being a lot less than it was a year ago. But I still think he has a ton of value since 3rd base is a black hole in the National League. And he's not going to hit in the 230s all year.

If/when they move Chase, they need to prioritize getting back a legitimate top of the rotation starter who's close to being MLB ready, if he isn't already. Part of the problem this year with the Padres, especially in the current slump, is that their starting pitching has been abysmal. Andrew Cashner has been solid until a recent slump, but he was never a starter until the Cubs toyed with the idea, and the Padres got serious about it last year. He's definitely got the upside to be a really good #2, but they need to add another arm that's close and further along the development timeline than Cash.

Kyle Blanks. I don't think they will trade him in season, namely due to all the position player injuries and because he's been the second best offensive player on the team while filling in. But, with Yonder Alonso back, Blanks has to move to the outfield to get consistent reps, and local manager Buddy Black enjoys benching Blanks in favor of out machines Will Venable, Jesus Guzman, Alexi Amarista, and Mark Kotsay. It's infuriating, because Blanks could legitimately hit for more power than anyone not named Quentin on the team, but his future looks bleak if there's no first base opening. I'd shop him to a team, likely AL, as a DH/1B bat with pop, and try to recoup a young arm.

Luke Gregerson. He's been worked a ton, maybe even a bit overworked, but still sports a 3.00 era, 4/1 k/bb ratio, 8k/9, 1.05 whip, with 3 saves, and 11 games finished total. I can see him being extremely attractive to a team like Detroit, who could use one more reliable late inning reliever with a good track record (Gregerson career 2.93 era, 9.1k/9, 3/1 k/bb ratio, 1.1 whip) and, considering they are legit contenders to win the World Series, will likely be not balk, depending on the player or players to be given up. I don't know their system, but, you could never have enough pitching.

Chris Denorfia. Love this guy. Absolutely love him. Does a little of everything. Can play all three outfield positions, runs the bases well, gets on base, hits for decent average. Really nice player for a team looking for an extra bat with some versatility and the ability to rake lefties and be well above average. He's 32, so there's no upside, but he's got great secondary skills.

I'm begging for the Padres to make a move. Whether that's a move to improve the rotation this year, even though I think they're well, well out of it, or a move to improve not just this year, but a handful of years in the long run, by all means, PLEASE, PADRES!

Damian Rey, your analysis of the Padres is not only clever and insightful but refreshing as a lot of fans do not like to be honest about their teams. Good stuff. Also, the last 2 weeks I have not been able to watch an SD game. Seems I missed nothing but ugliness.

Thanks, Edgar. I actually went to school to study journalism, with an emphasis on broadcasting. I eventually found analyses much more fun, especially with all the new advance metrics coming out.

Appreciate the comment, man.

And yeah, it's been so bad. Heartbreaking, because there was a legitimate moment where I was telling myself that making a move to get a solid starter would actually make sense. Oh well. Their offense is good when healthy. I expect good things next year when their Tommy John victims get back in the rotation.

I hope we see ARod again. I have a hard time seeing the union allowing MLB to suspend anyone without any real, tangible proof of drug use outside of testimony of a desperate, dire drug pusher who only agreed to talk to MLB officials when getting to the end of his rope.

To be honest, while I condemn the use of PEDs, I try my best to be objective with the players that use them. I don't think PEDs or lack thereof change who ARod was destined to be. Baseball is an extremely specialized skill driven sport. PEDs are not going to improve plate discipline, plate selection, swing path, footwork, etc. Those are skills that are developed and maximized with a combination of immense talent and hard work. PEDs don't effect those. The only thing anyone can factually say PEDs effect is strength and endurance. After that, it's speculation with zero evidence to say otherwise.

Now, with that said, I again state I'd love to see Alex Rodriguez again. He's one of the greatest infielders of all time, would have been the greatest offensive shortstop of all time, and can still be an above average contributor, IMO, if/when he eventually gets back.

And this was gonna be the year clubs will either see him as a starter or a closer in the future when his contract is up after this season.

Thank God Scherzer lost. Not that I was rooting against him, because, personally, I've always liked him, thought the Tigers hosed the DBacks when they moved him, and am glad he's been so good.

But...I'm sick and tired of hearing how he's so good because he's undefeated, when Scherzer himself has stated several times his win loss record is more of a fluke than anything of his doing because of so many other factors taken into it.

And fuck me, but is the All Star break here yet? The Padres have looked fucking awful for two weeks plus now. The starting pitching is abysmal, the bullpen, and the few good arms that are in there, are taxed because no one can go more than 5 plus innings, and the offense has been abysmal.

Also, cue the silly "the Freak is back" talk that is surely to follow after the no hitter.

Well, he's playing now. He's not going to be great defensively, but, if his hips are healthy, he can contribute. Jeter has been "done" defensively, for years, and his bat has still played. I think ARod can still contribute. He's gotten far enough to play, I don't see why he can't make another step and get back to the bigs.

I realize I just don't like ARod the guy, but I'll be damned if he is even a contributor. He can play, sure, so can Marwin Gonzalez and Will Rhymes. ARod will not be a boon to the Yankees if he comes back, it's a gut feeling.
