And Jay misplayed the other hit that should have been an out instead scored two runs.

I've been shocked by Beltran so far. He looks to have the range of Jeff Francoeur, circa 2012. Didn't seem that bad when I saw him last year (30 games or so).

But yeah, I've seen RFers in Co-Ed softball games with better range than we're getting out of Carlos right now. Lance Berkman was a better OFer in 2011. Garcia and Westbrook may avoid the pain due to their extreme GB tendencies, but Wainwright, Lynn and Miller are all going to have to be razor sharp to get around that. Lynn and Miller may have even more trouble as power righties that RH hitters are going to look to serve balls the other way against.

Besides, if you figure you're only going to get 130 good games from Carlos, it wouldn't be a terrible thing if the last 15 of those are in September rather than July... Adams at 1B/Craig in RF or Taveras up for a RF stint would seem to make a lot of sense.

The deadline for the extra year of control is a moving target, but early MAy (first two weeks) is likely safe. If they brought him up for two weeks now, they could always send him back down and wait until the end of May to call him up. Not the only option, though. Adams up and to 1B and Craig to RF seems sensible.

http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseb...734c28cf5.html OK, we now return you to the regular Bird Land blog already in progress ... The Church of Clutch hasn't had a chance to warm up its vocal chords yet this season, but when it does perhaps it can turn to the Book of Holliday for the update stats after his two-run homer broke a 1-1 tie last night against Arizona starter Trevor Cahill. According to the home run database kept by Tom Orf, left field Matt Holliday tops the current era of Cardinals when it comes to putting the team ahead in the sixth inning or later with a home run. The leaders, from 2009-2013, and No. 3 on the list might surprise you because he hasn't taken an at-bat for the Cardinals since mid-2011: Matt Holliday 13 Albert Pujols 11 Colby Rasmus 5 Yadier Molina 5 Lance Berkman 4 Allen Craig 3 Ryan Ludwick 3 Rick Ankiel 3 |

delusional Springfield locals. Memphis is a much bigger city with a stadium that's just as nice as Springfield's, except with double the seating capacity.

Springfield probably has the nicest AA stadium, that generates decent revenue for a double a club.
