Before delving into the topic du jour, another great outing from Ricky Nolasco. He gave up two early runs then retired 20 of the last 21 batters he faced. Since returning from his demotion to Triple-A, Nolasco has not allowed more than two earned runs in five outings and has earned the 'W' in ...

Gonzalez: Can the Florida Marlins win with Emilio Bonifacio?
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog —
Gonzalez: Can the Florida Marlins win with Emilio Bonifacio? If you anagramp-up Bonifacio..."Can Boo If I” spits out. To Bonifacio...for all the buzz about Gaby Sanchez moving from first to third at Triple-A New Orleans, it’s looking less and less likely Bonifacio is going anywhere. Are the overall numbers still disappointing? Yes. Even aftera 1-for-3 performance with a triple and sacrifice fly that knocked in the deciding run in the eighth, Bonifacio’s OPS remains .601. His on-base percentage (.298) has been south of .300 since May 22. He’s been error-prone at third, a ...

... that the best-case scenario has him returning in mid-August. Seattle will miss Beltre's outstanding glove and may choose to further weaken their defense in the hopes of helping the league's worst offense by shifting Russell Branyan to third base while using prospect Mike Carp at first base. * Despite hitting just .250/.298/.303 with poor defense Emilio Bonifacio still has people defending his play via cliches and platitudes, as Juan C. Rodriguez of the Florida Sun-Sentinel writes stuff like "he's shown no signs of being a 'me' player." My guess is that there aren't many ...
