No. LAC, OKC, GS, SAS, HOU, POR, DAL, and MEM are all clearly better. PHO, DEN, and NO are probably better too. They are closer to the Lakers, SAC, and Utah than they are to any of those other teams
I was always curious......are there no right-handed hitters whose spray chart warrants an over-shift? It's ALWAYS left handed hitters who get the shift The Rays had a shift on Javy in his first AB (camera really didn't show in the others if they continued it) in this game.
After seeing that I have no doubt a Ray is gonna flip what looks like a weak fly ball down the line to the opposite field and it will somehow end up in the basket in one of the wells.
When did the 48 hours deadline officially start? Probably yesterday when the news broke of us claiming him +/- a few hrs? I doubt the deadline is past early evening tomorrow at the latest.
Had he not gotten hurt a lot of the prospect writes/rankers thought he could/should be up this year. After seeing what he's done in AA this year I don't think it's out of the question to see him promoted within a month next year if he has a good AFL and first monthish in Iowa.
