For Pete's Sake
In 448 plate appearances for St. Louis last season, Pete Kozma slammed a solitary home run.
During the off-season, the Cardinals signed Jhonny Peralta to replace Kozma at short with a four-year, $55.5 million contract.
It took Peralta eight plate appearances to match Kozma's home run total. Eight plate appearances later, he'd doubled that total.
Do the Cardinals even know how to do anything wrong?
You're On the Mark, Teixeira
Mark Teixeira is off to a fast start this year. The Yankee first baseman reached the disabled list in just four games with a strained hamstring. Last year he needed 15 games for the hamstring to keep him off the field. That's $45 million right there, Brian Cashman.
Charlie Blackmon Update
The baseball world breathlessly awaits updates on slugging sensation Charlie Blackmon. The Rockies outfielder followed his six-for-six game with a three-for-four performance. Slacker! They were all singles, dropping his slugging percentage 23 points.
Blackmon now paces the NL with a .600 batting average and a .619 OBP. That's half a million dollars right there, Brian Cashman.
#Karma
Ryan Braun has one hit and one walk in 17 plate appearances. According to this report by Richard Justice, a lingering thumb injury is holding him back. Or is that just his conscience?
