  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • Cubs 2013 Preview: a Bit Better Pitching, but Rebuilding Still Grinds Along Slowly
    Cubs 2013 preview: A bit better pitching, but rebuilding still grinds along slowly By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, March 29, 2013 Theo Epstein is getting double for his money these days. First, the former lifelong Bostonian is getting a valuable education in Chicago politics as the three- cornered debate over Wrigley Field renovations shows how Clout City USA really works. And yet all the arguments over whether the Cubs should get seri- ous with Rosemont and consider moving if they don’t get a renova- Cubs GM Jed Hoyer (with wife Merrill) and boss Theo Ep- tions deal very soon give Epstein stein have once again constructed a roster that can be and his baseball operations depart- disassembled via mid-season trades. ment a big break. Off-the-field issues involving Wrigley Field, whether the installation of lights, falling concrete or Arne Harris’ hat shots, are always far more than sideshows. They become the main story, relegating the Cubs’ on-field fortunes to notebook status. The taffy pull involving Tom Ricketts, Rahm Emanuel, Tom Tunney, the rooftop owners and the vil- lage of Rosemont absolutely shifted the Cubs’ spring-training countdown to Opening Day to secondary news-angle status. If all focus was on the team itself, the conclusion would be a sub-standard roster with a slew of place-holders that is being intentionally fielded for the second-year in a row. Worse yet, as Epstein vows a rebuilding-from-the-ground-up strategy, there are no pitching phenoms or fresh-faced hot rookies as attention-getters to make the continual losing more palatable.

  • A's News Clips, Thursday, February 10, 2011 Inbox: Why the A's Don't
    A’s News Clips, Thursday, February 10, 2011 Inbox: Why the A's don't need Young Beat reporter Jane Lee answers questions from A's fans By Jane Lee / MLB.com Why are the A's not making a serious push for Michael Young? That could be a huge piece toward making the A's puzzle complete. Package Dallas Braden and Kevin Kouzmanoff for Young. We need another real bat, not David DeJesus. He is just Ryan Sweeney with a fancier name. -- Phil K., Reno, Nev. I've received several varieties of this question throughout the week, and hopefully I can shed some light on why it really doesn't need to be asked again. Young is undoubtedly a valued player, one respected to the utmost degree around the league for his abilities both as an athlete -- he's a gamer in every sense of the word -- and as a leader. But the A's are no match for his three-year, $48 million price tag. Nor are they on his list of teams to which he'd accept a trade, unless they've changed their name to the Angels, Astros, Cardinals, Dodgers, Padres, Rockies, Twins or Yankees. Young has publicly stated he'd consider another team depending on the situation, but history tells us Oakland doesn't exactly have the easiest time reeling in players. The club is also not about to spend big money on a 34-year-old who doesn't boast the defensive abilities mirroring that of the team's other infielders. Among all American League third-base qualifiers last year, Young ranked last in fielding percentage (.950), zone rating (.765) and range factor per nine innings (2.36).
