    3 things made me wow on Gwynn.

    He faced Pedro Martinez 36 times, never struck out.

    We should know, that he did have tremendous success against Greg Maddux, but still 107 PA 0 K's.

    Also batted .447 with the bases loaded for his career. Just incredible.

    I'm not one to think the brewers would do anything right, but this is hilariously awesome

    That is hilarious, but it unfortunately ignores that Molina is, in fact, the best catcher in baseball. And even if he wasn't, there are other catchers in the NL I'd vote for ahead of Lucroy.

    So far hes like the 3rd best player in WAR in the NL. Has really earned the right to start this year.

    Sports Illustrated had a good article on the A's, focusing on clubhouse culture and Moss/Donaldson as a new bash bros. They also had a touching tribute to Tony Gwynn.

    then 50 pages of ads and stuff i didnt read. But hey, a good 8 minutes of content there.

    Yeah DPS is nuts. What you going to do? There is always a hater in the bunch!Lucroy has been BY FAR the best catcher in any league this year. He could go on a huge slump between now and the All-Star game and would be still have better stats than any catcher in baseball.

    And WAR doesn't even factor in pitch framing, something Lucroy is one of the very best at in baseball.

    Doolittle was a pretty good 1B in an old BM league where I was the A's.

    Doolittle: closer, converted 1B/OF
    Moss: 1B, converted OF
    Donaldson: 3B, converted catcher

    I think Billy Beane is abusing the BM engine for player position changes
