Allen Craig can hit AAA pitching

Eight games into his return to Triple-A, the only thing missing out of the outfielder is his power. He's putting up a .306 average with a .375 OBP.

I'd like to see Craig return to respectable form and then play for anyone but the Red Sox or anyone in the NL Central. I'd like to see him do well.

MLBN's Top 10 Pitchers Right Now has Shelby as #4

Of course, that should be "top ten seasons by a pitcher right now" - no way Shelby is the 4th best pitcher in MLB.

I love this modern trend of conferring stardom on somebody who has a hot couple of months. Of course, it's not all that modern - how else does a guy like Atlee Hammaker start an all-star game?

I'd forgotten all about Atlee Hammaker. The name alone was All-Star worthy.

Tough question to answer because Hammaker never started an All-Star Game.

By going 9-4 with a 1.70 ERA and 6 CG and 3 CGSHO in the first half.

Edit- Mario Soto started the game, not Hammaker.

That's right - he relieved and gave up the first grand slam in ASG history.

Are we pretending this is Miller's first ever good stretch of major league appearances?

Word. This isn't even as good as his stretch in the beginning of 2013. His peripherals matched his results.

Yeah...his first 3 months of 2013 had SO/9 ranging from 9-10 and his BB/9 was 2.9, 1.7, 1.7. Incredible. This version of Miller is very, very good. Kudos to him for putting it all together.
