Seems like Gose always has at least a run every game.
His speed on the basepaths must be extremely useful.
Gose's rankings in the FSL:
1st in Runs Scored
3rd in Hits
3rd in Stolen Bases
1st in Triples
2nd in Outfield Assists
4th in Strikeouts
Also
1st in Caught Stealing
4th in Strikeouts
1st in Plate Appearances
1st in At Bats
haha
4th in strikeouts
BUT ALSO
4th in strikeouts

Buck will be in NH
For 2 more games. Wednesday and Thursday night he will serve as the DH before heading back to Toronto on Friday where he will resume duties as the every day catcher, most likely sending JPA back to Vegas and Jeroloman back to NH.

Videos of the Buck 2R home run and grand slam
Are now up on my youtube. The 2 run home more impressive and a pretty good video.

Thanks for the video
Is the batdog always there in NH, or do they hire humans sometimes to pick up equipment?

dog is there
Only for the home half of the first inning.

Oh and Calderone was sent down about a week ago
An OF came off the DL in Vegas sending Calderone back to NH and Rodriguez to Dunedin.

Babying the Pitchers
I am not convinced pitch limits and innings limits actually help pitchers. There were so many workhouse pitchers in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s that did not breakdown. Anyways, last nite Morrow and Drabek (I understand he had start skipped based on interview I heard with AA) started about skipping starts. Morrow was obviously off control and speed wise and Drabek it appears had his worst game in months.
It appears everytime teams skip starts to “rest” pitchers they have terrible starts as their routines and mechanics are ruined. Why not just have Morrow and Drabek pitch their regular starts on lower pitch counts. Personally, I think teams hurt pitchers more then they help them with the pitch counts and babying.

Its possible but team doctors and professionals disagree. Doesn’t mean you are wrong though.
Yes pitchers in the past tend to pitch longer and more pitches each game, but did they pitch as far into their careers? I would be willing to bet that the average length of a pitchers career is longer now then it was before. And other then the odd exception in the past that would pitch into their late 30’s, very early 40’s that for the most part has become sort of the norm.
Add into the equation the amount of money put on these guys ability to toss a ball and you people get very cautious very quickly.
Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...
there were also many many pitchers that broke down
Back in those days, for every ‘workhorse’ pitcher you remember there were a bunch that pitched one or two years and their arms gave out. Mark Fidrich (sp) is a good example but there were 100s like that.
Baseball used to develope starting pitchers the same as people used to test for witches. If they though you were a witch they held you under water for 5 minutes, if you lived you were a witch (and they killed you). Starting pitchers they would throw ourt there for 250 inning, if their arm survived they were a starter. Cubs did that with Wood and Prior. Didn’t work for them, that was pretty much the end of that practice.

I don't think Gose will ever hit with a good triple-slash line
But he will always do a lot more than you think.
If he can hit about .270 and get on base at around .350 he will be a very effective major leaguer.

yup, especially with his defense
I think we could see an Austin Jackson type (not quite best-case scenario, but close) – not a lot of power but good-enough hitting with excellent defense. and that’s pretty valuable

I was thinking more Carl Crawford-lite
Maybe not as good at the plate, but with all the other abilities Crawford has.
If only Gose could learn how to steal a base that is.
Onions Baby Onions
guessing what a 20 year old who is in A-Ball would hit in the majors is a long shot
but he has almost the same slash line than Crawford had at the same age, Crawford was a level up. Each were raw talents. Gose likely could use some coaching.
Crawford's a pretty good defender
but that’s in left field, which is one of the easiest positions to defend in baseball. Gose is above average in CF, which is one of the harder (probably 3rd hardest), making an impact defender there much more valuable. hitting like CC would be nice though.
