    I don’t think it has been announced. They have 6 months from when the trade happened to finalize it, which would be late May.

    As the season unfolds, his numbers could certainly drop off. But right now he is mashing to the tune of .385/.414/.619 .

    Good for him. He looked good before he got hurt.

    Tucker w/ 2 HR, 9 RBI, 5 R, hitting .306 / .350 / .878 so far. Was hitless in his last 5 games before his single just now, but he'll be an interesting one to follow this year. Always liked Tucker. Will never forget him dripping swaggu @DET.

    Harold Arauz is off to a great start for the Phillies in AA. Tom Eshelman is throwing well for them in AAA. Those 2 plus Velasquez still looks like a good haul for Giles even though Appel busted.

    Jake Nottingham was called up by the Brewers. He and Hader were the two guys I really didn’t want to let go of.

    Hader seems to be exactly what we need right now. Man

    He’s definitely the one player they’d love to have not included in the Carlos Gomez trade. He’s a stud.

    Preston is absolutely mauling the cover off the ball this season.

    Good for Tucker, but he's been rapidly coming back down to earth since his white hot start.

    VV has been healthy this year. He's a good pitcher when healthy.

    I haven't watched the video of Belt's AB (probably won't) but I remember Gutierez's AB quite well. By the time you got to around 14-15 pitches, Ricky and Bartolo both couldn't help but grin self-conciously that the thing had gone on as long as it had. And he just kept fouling off pitches. I bet there was an element of that with Belt as well.

    .262/.303/.475 for the season now. Nothing to scoff at, but given his defensive limitations that would relegate him to a backup level player that tends to bounce around. We'll see how he is doing a month from now.

    Yeah, I checked the stats for him and Moran this morning. It seems they've both cooled off since their hot starts.
