It's no Elia, but it's solid (BP is Bryan Price, btw):

That's some Earl Weaver stuff there

There's a manager who is on a very short leash.

apparently that was only part of it. Len just announced the reporters counted 77 f-bombs in the interview.

The Brewers are in a bad, bad spot. Also the article has a fun fact, Bruan's $105 million extension doesn't kick in until next year. Even though he signed it like 4-5 years ago

to be fair, didn't he abandon him long before he became officially dying?

When they said "Chicago's other elite prospect" I was pretty surprised to see that they didn't mean Russell. Or Soler. :)

His biggest complaint is that reporters report things that don't benefit the Reds?

I'm just spitballing here, but I think it might have been made using FreeHomepage.com.

.414/.452/.552/1.003. And we're not talking about a part time player, he's their starting 2B with 17 games, 58 AB.

 

Obviously he won't be putting up video game numbers all season, but between him, Donaldson, and to a lesser extent, Harrison, If we were still in a position where progress meant Castro not making an error, Brett Jackson only striking out twice, and Soriano's trade value not falling any lower, I'd be a bit worked up. But with things being how they are, it gets a smirk and a head shake.

Coors Field does help him, he has a career OPS about 200 points lower away from home (though he's pretty balanced so far this year), but I always thought he could turn into a solid player.

That's a lot of singles.
