Terry Collins said Juan Lagares will start Sunday against Jon Lester. So he will be activated from the disabled list by the end of the series against the Cubs. Lagares is in the lineup for Game 1 of Binghamton's doubleheader on Friday night.

Wright should retire on an injury clause...  
Torrag : 7/1/2016 6:04 pm : link
...but you can understand he would like to get a ring before he does. Sadly he's a shell of the player he was and won't approach that level again.
He owes it to himself to see how he responds

to these treatments next year but it's my opinion he'll be the first to retire if he isn't the same player or a productive player anymore.
Keep batting him 8th Terry!

Nice job getting 4 strikes there from this awful ump.
Well I will say that the Cubs  
ZGiants98 : 7/1/2016 9:35 pm : link
are in first place because they have the best pitching staff top to bottom in baseball and I DO think its a bit unsustainable. They have some good to great pitchers but just about everyone is playing well above their career averages.

Their lineup has two stars (Bryant and Rizzo). Zobrist had an insane start but like Murphy is likely trending back to his mean. The rest of the lineup has been meh.
Meant best record...

not first place... ugh

Hopefully one Michael Conforto is watching this

Nice to see Nimmo have some early success...  
Torrag : 7/1/2016 9:55 pm : link
...now let's hope the fanbase doesn't lose their mind like they did with Conforto. It's a game of adjustments and you won't really know what we have in the young man until the league gets a book and he is forced to make and execute his first set of corrections.
Hopefully

HR was absolutely crushed. he looks like a mini David Ortiz running the bases. I figured he'd slim down during the season, but doesn't look like it.

Smith bomb - ( New Window )
Not posting this because I regret the trade  
pjcas18 : 7/2/2016 9:53 am : link
just how awesome he's been:

Michael Fulmer:

8 - 2, 2.17 ERA, 12 starts, 70.2 IP, 52H, 25BB's 70K's, 1.09 WHIP, 3.51 FIP, 23 years old all season.

Rookie of the year in the AL first half?

He or Mazara seems like the contenders off the top of my head, probably missing someone.
Smith is still so young  
ZGiants98 : 7/2/2016 11:04 am : link
He doesn't need to hit 30 HR for me to be satisfied yet. I wanted to see signs that the power was there and developing and that's what we are getting. He hits 15 in Bing this year? I'm over the moon. If Cheech can just get over his mental throwing issues the first round 4 pack is really killing it across the board.
The more I watch Smith  
pjcas18 : 7/2/2016 11:08 am : link
the more I think added weight might be good.

Instead of the thin-ish 1b, maybe he's more the Mo Vaughn, Ortiz, Fielder, Balboni type. and with the weight will come more power. And it's not like you need to have a marathon runners body to play 1B.

pack on the pounds Dom.

I've actually thought that too. He isn't tall. Not many 6'0 guys end up hitting 30 HR. The extra weight around the gut might give him a little more torque. ;)
