W/ Anderson not playing too hot, and Cruz and Hill raking, as well as some youngsters down lower, the Birds have a lot of C depth. Trade bait?
Would you move Cruz and Hill above Anderson on the Catching prospects depth chart?

I would have traded Anderson by now, but I have no idea what kind of possible deals have been available...

Stephen Hill had a HR last night as well. Jones was picked off once, and it was a total brain fart. He left about three steps too soon and the pitcher just stepped off and threw him out.

Samuel allowed a leadoff walk, and then promptly got a double play.

How do you follow these games? Do you attend most of them or just read about them somewhere?

Jess Todd had a rare bad outing and gave up three runs in one inning (on a homer).

Ballooning his ERA all the way to 2.60 for the season. I wonder when we'll see him in St. Louis. He's been unsurprisingly dominant since the conversion, but there's not a whole lot of room for him at the moment with the big club. Having him pitch in relief for like a year in the minors seems pretty silly to me.

I live here in Springburg, so I either watch them, catch them on the radio (usually when in my car), or read about them in the paper. Since it's the hometown team, they usually cover who picks their nose, and who pulled what.
