Kyle Blanks, 1B/OF, Padres (Triple-A Tucson) He just can't stay here much longer. Anthony Rizzo had many people all but forgetting about Blanks during the first part of the season, but Blanks has, for lack of a better phrase, gone completely nuts at Triple-A. He went 9-for-18 with four home runs over the weekend, is batting .411/.477/.884 in 24 games since arriving in Tucson, and Rizzo is batting .174 in 23 big-leagues games. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what the right move is on an immediate basis, but finding out what to do with both players could prove to be a bit more challenging down the road.

Adrian Gonzalez Is A Backtracking Hypocritical Liar

In May 2010, after Governor Jan Brewer signed 1070 into law, MLB superstars like Adrian Gonzalez of the Boston Red Sox [TTG's note: then of the San Diego Padres] called 1070 "immoral" and hinted he may boycott the All-Star Game in Phoenix. Now, a year later, Gonzalez and others have changed their tunes calling immigration "a government issue, not a baseball issue."

Would this be a legit pitch? It's not like he balks or anything. The only thing that might be wrong is that his foot does leave the rubber before he throws the ball.
