Only 19 of those homers have come on the road.

Ranking Last.

Yet, only the Indians and Pirates have fewer at bats than the Yankees.

Still, the Red Sox have 45 more total bases than the Yankees.

First rounders Ramirez and Tulo were picked to get an edge at a short(stop) position



Dexter Fowler (18) has as many rbi this year as Jason Heyward

Teams are hitting .230 vs both the Giants and Braves.

Teams are hitting .272 vs the Royals.

And the Royals are going to a six starter rotationThis actually makes some sense to me. They don't have a number 1 or 2 starter for whom they need to maximize starts. They have a bunch of crappy pitchers and they're going to add one more crap pitcher. It's just more of the same.



The Yankees have out-homered the Red Sox by 26 this year.

Still, the Red Sox have 45 more total bases than the Yankees.Interesting that the Red Sox and Yankees have nearly the same number of runs scored.



First rounders Ramirez and Tulo were picked to get an edge at a short(stop) positionI drafted both Cabrera and Peralta in my big team last year because I thought they could give me a later round edge at the short position so you can imagine how enraged I am right about now.
