The last two games, Danny's hit the ball on the nose quite a few times. Wednesday, he had nothing to show for it, but last night his luck turned around.

I think that when Ramos returns Solano goes back to Syracuse. I think he needs to show that he can produce enough offense to merit a full time job next year which should open up as Suzuki gets his next gig elsewhere.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464376699196421043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-44011287120303694882013-04-26T11:20:38.606-04:002013-04-26T11:20:38.606-04:00"Certainly, I’ve not been down on him.

Rizzo traded four prospects to the A’s before last season to land Gonzalez, whom he immediately signed to an extension. Not every GM has the stomach to trade a bounty of prospects, especially for a player like Gonzalez who had only been a big leaguer for two seasons. All Gonzalez has done in the interim is be named an All-Star last year and finish third in the NL Cy Young voting.</i><br /><br />Wow -- I had no idea: <i>the 14th time in 37 starts with Washington that he’s allowed no more than one run.</i>A DC Wonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09732615221598098540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-86018372100256475382013-04-26T10:35:21.753-04:002013-04-26T10:35:21.753-04:00Atta boy, Danny!
