Yea and Brandon Guyer and Desmond Jennings are ballin' down in Durham too.

Sam probably has a few more weeks though.

We loved you while it lasted Sam. Hello Brandon Guyer!

Typical....I'm finally getting approvals done on the "Legend of Sam Fuld" tee...with the Norris-esque quotes. Cool graphic.

He may have a second wind in him. I could see a Fuld/Guyer platoon.

 

[Premier]

Fuld can still play some defense. Damn.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Unreal catch by Fuld. That guy is just awesome to watch

 

[Premier]

Tied for first.

Bossman starting to heat up....means a lot to this offense.

Keep this train rolling

Looks like Matt Joyce is finally ready to break out.

Killing RHP. Breakout doesn't happen until he starts hitting LHP. Considering he doesn't even get to face it........ breakout's on hold.

I think mashing right handers will be enough. Could hit 25 homers in a platoon role.

He has 2 HRs in 5 1/2 weeks. Let's hold off on the 25 talk.

Sweeping teams!

Didn't he hit 20 in a half a season or so back in 08?Guy clearly has a ton of power, that's not even a concern. Obviously the lefties are a problem for him, but he's not the first power-hitting lefty to be neutralized.

surprised they sent Guyer back.

I see 12 in 242 ABs in 2008.The potential's there, it always has been. But when the guy has 27 career HRs, and is on pace to hit 10 this year, I think projecting 25 is a little aggressive.

 

[Premier]

Hmm. You're right. I thought it was 19 in 08.

Still, his half-seasons in the bigs in 08 and 10 have shown good power. It'll come around this year, especially now that he's hitting behind Longoria.

 

[shadyridr]

I just picked up Joyce to replace Cruz (I see they face 6 RHPs this week). Im on the bandwagon!

Is Upton definitely serving his 2 game suspension this week?

Not to replace Cruz, but I picked him up last week for the same reason. Saw TB was slated to face all RHP. He's in my weekly league lineup.

 

[Premier]

Upton is taking off Thu/Fri.

 

[Raider Nation]

Is Maddon still a genius?

Affirmative.

 

[urbanhack]

6 team league?

Maddon

 

[Limp Ditka]

Joyce!

Beautiful swing on that homer by Joyce.

Another moonshot for Joyce. Boy has some power.

Joyce pickup was so money

Alone in first.

Summer Concert Series!! Those are fun...the only thing that sux is they can't televise the game because they start earlier to fit the concert in.

 

[gump]

So is it a lock at this point that Longo won't make the ASG?

 

[Captain Hook]

Joyce & the Rays scheduled to face 5 RH starters next week

He got on that 25 HR pace real damn quick, didn't he?

Jesus this was the best pickup in eternity

Lolhe doesn't leave any doubt either. Goodness.

Hellickson

Can any team in the AL go deeper than Price-Shields-Hellickson-Davis?

Also, Desmond Jennings is shredding AAA. His super-2 may not run until mid-July though. Sure would like to see him in LF right now.

 

[gump]

Hellickson

Man he threw a lot of offspeed pitches last night....the O's are the perfect matchup.

 

[gump]

Sonny...ugh. What's the story on Neimann?

As and maybe chi sox

 

[Premier]

Sonny...ugh. What's the story on Neimann?

Mid-June. Some kind of back injury. He kind of sucks anyways. Alex Cobb, please.

 

[Pnishthm]

Would be great if the Rays can keep the slide rolling for the Yankees with Price and Shields!

We're not ready to bail on Neimann already, are we? Or do you just think the injury will hamper him all season?

He hasn't been the same since his last injury. I am ready to bail on him.

 

[Premier]

Ok, the Sam Fuld thing was cute and everybody had fun with it, but it's over now. Can we get Guyer or Jennings up already?

 

[gump]

It's about time some runs were scored by the Home team at the Trop....
