We certainly can see Hanley and Puig. They, along with Adrian Gonzalez, have been very visible at the plate of late. Pic via Dodgers tumblr.
- Via Ken Gurnick at MLB.com, "Kemp gets first hit in second rehab game: Doubles in six-inning stint with Albuquerque; Van Slyke goes 1-for-5".
- BTW, TMZ shared that Kemp is renting a mansion in Hidden Hills. (Hat Tip: VSIMH)
- Roberto at Vin Scully is My Homeboy informs us that Kenley Jansen will be signing free autographs at T-Mobile store on Cienega on Wednesday.
- Via Bill Shaikin at the LA Times, "Dodgers' Don Mattingly still has front-office support: Although the Dodgers have fallen to 11 games below .500, General Manager Ned Colletti says he sees no reason to fire the manager."
- Yasiel Puig wants your support for the All-Star game.

- Via Mike Petriello at Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness, "Yasiel Puig Is Following That Matt Kemp Playbook".
- Sergio at Busting Packs got a legal notice from Upper Deck telling him to stop making fantasy/mock-up Upper Deck cards. No wonder Upper Deck has been in the dumps. They're filled with idiots.
- Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports wonders "Can any other struggling MLB teams go on a run?"

Is it just me or is Puig Mania already starting to Fizzle? I mean the kid is great - but he's been playing for 3 weeks and does NOT deserve to be in the all star game yet. Give it a year and earn your stripes kid. I would hate for Kemp, Adrian or Hanley to lose a spot to Puig.
ReplyDeleteI don't disagree with you. He doesn't really have enough service time to be in the All-Star game.
DeleteIs Puig mania fizzling? likely, but I don't think the initial mania that existed could have ever been sustained. I think it mellows out a bit, but remains fairly strong; especially if he continues to hit decently
