That was a great game for both our lineup and Greene. With 9 hits and 8 runs in one inning (14 in the game). We knocked the crap out of Price. Greene pitched great. I am not ready to call him a legit starter for next season but he has made me look twice. Ellsbury in the lead off role is a must for this season and next.
So going forward Pineda has been great off the dl, McCarthy and Greene are pitching very well. Our line up is starting to get hits. 2.5 games out of the last wild card. So things are looking up!

Throw in that he plays a really good CF and this guy does a bit of everything. Decent average, gets on base at a good clip, has some pop, great baserunner and great fielder.

"fantastic season" is a bit of a stretch.
Although he has shown some life lately.

80 games of Tulo might have led this team in RBIs.
If they do, it will probably be soon so he's post season eligible if he comes up and is a bullpen asset. I say if they don't think he's ready to do something like that, they should leave him be and let him finish the year in the minors and he can try and make the club in ST.
I would hope they wouldn't risk next season for some hope of a post season run.

His on-base skills are mediocre and he's got a weak arm. He plays a pretty good centerfield but people talk about him like he's prime Mike Cameron or something. He remains massively overpaid.
Didn't Washington pitch Darvish after an hour rain delay or somethign like that? How does that guy still have a job?
