I'm just about ready to rejoin the bandwagon. [expletive] that. You stay as far as humanly possible away from it. Your doubt is what has him back to doing WTF he wants. Not even a secret bandwagon either. You think Javy will never make it past AA, even after he's a 5 time All Star at 28. Fair?

The Pirates' collapse has maybe begun? That'd help a lot, though we probably won't win nearly enough for it to matter. Are you familiar with punctuation?
Starlin Castro horrorshow update: He has now been worth precisely 0.0 fWAR this year, a replacement-level player. Fangraphs' updated ZIPS projects him to finish with 1.4.
