More than double what we've ever had in the past. I was excited at the announcement!

This surprises me. I thought he did pretty good in Omaha last year.

Royals release RHP Coleman

I really had hope for Louis Coleman too. In Omaha last season, 38 games, 64 innings, 8-2 record, and 1.69 ERA. It just seems like a player with those kind of stats would be something you could work with.

It will be interesting to see what team picks him up.

I'd be pretty pissed about this if I had shelled out a lot for opening day tickets on stubhub.

I hope they go 60 feet 6 inches to get them.

Should do the ring ceremony when Synderdouche was pitching

And they run out 60 feet 6 inches to get them.

So we get to humiliate the Mets two games in a row? I'm OK with that.

WAD

Happy 61st Birthday, Rusty Kuntz!

Wade Davis ranked as top relief pitcher in majors by MLB Network
http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt...e58621233.html

No one really need confirmation on this, right?

The MLB Network has been doing rankings of various positions (“Top 10 Right Now!”) and it got to relief pitchers.

Atop the list: Wade Davis of the Royals.

Davis was 8-1 with 17 saves and a 0.94 ERA last season. He was an All-Star, finished sixth in the Cy Young Award voting and 28th in MVP voting. Davis had a 0.79 WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched). He struck out 10.4 batters per nine innings.

In 2014, Davis had a 1.00 ERA, a 0.85 WHIP and struck out 13.6 batters per nine innings.

The MLB Network special notes that Davis has the lowest opposing batting average (.148) and ERA (0.97) over the last two years.

“That’s the lowest two-year ERA in the history of the game,” MLB Network’s Brian Kenny said. “He deserves to be No. 1.”

Here is the top 10

1. Wade Davis, Royals

2. Dellin Betances, Yankees

3. Aroldis Chapman, Yankees

4. Andrew Miller, Yankees

5. Zach Britton, Orioles

6. Mark Melancon, Pirates

7. Ken Giles, Astros

8. Tony Watson, Pirates

9. Darren O’Day, Orioles

10. Craig Kimbrel, Red Sox

You can watch as the top two relief pitchers are unveiled during the MLB Network broadcast:

**** the NYY...and the Mets for that matter.
