The Indians have gotten six seasons and some 186 perfectly cromulent games out of Zach MacAllister. In exchange, the Yankees got less than 40 games of terrible, no good Austin Kearns.

Fun fact: despite playing for 5 different organizations over 12 seasons, Austin Kearns did not appear in a single playoff game.

There was a lot of talk about the Rays trading one of their young starting pitchers for Schwarber before his injury.

What the hell was that?

oh and Schwarber is doing pretty good for a guy who's only seen live pitching this week for the first time in 5 months

Dumb question - I'd assume they're heating the bat because you won't get a stinger if you hit one off the handle? Do you get more power?

Fouling off pitches in cold weather is...uncomfortable. Probably warming the bat makes it less so, but they sure aren't brittle in the cold weather. I guess it's just similar overall to working on a car in cold weather, if you whack your hand it hurts even more.

Little late, but why was Soler replaced by Heyawrd back in the 5th?

Maddon overmanage much?
