That he often gets moved to RF during the game might hurt him.

According to Wikipedia:

--as voted by the managers and coaches in each league.[1] Managers are not permitted to vote for their own players.[1] Additionally, a sabermetric component provided by Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) accounts for approximately 25 percent of the vote

At least Orioles fans have something to care about again.

The only way this makes sense is if you take everything Cain did in RF, throw that away as if he never played, and focus only on his CF stats. If you do that, its close between him and the first two, but no way should Adam Jones be over Cain.

That's a joke on so many levels, it isn't funny.

Adam Eaton? Come on. He's a nice defensive player, but he's not ELITE ELITE.

That's what I was afraid of. That him playing RF late in games would hurt him.

How long had Rany been going interviews on 810? He's been on for about 30 minutes and this is probably the best baseball interview I've ever heard. I usually never listen to 810.

By defensive runs saved, Lorenzo Cain was baseball's fifth-best RIGHT fielder despite playing, basically, one-third of the season there.

Every week with Soren during the season for years.

KCUnited 10-23-2014 12:48 PM

He had his own show on 810 as well, Rany on the Radio.

So Miguel cabrera is a finalist but not Lorenzo Cain hmm

penbrook 10-23-2014 01:00 PM

Lorenzo Cain was second among AL CFs in @sabr SDI which is 25% of the selection process for #RawlingsGoldGlove. Managers other 75%

He is pretty good. To me, he really stands out because most guys if they are good at all, are good for a few minutes before they are yammering on about nothing. Someone posted a link to his blog on here awhile back and I was impressed with that too.

This is probably not a surprise, but Shields will start game 5. I think we can also safely assume that Ventura would start game 6 if necessary.

I'd prefer to start Duffy over Shields.

He's hurt and can't give us 2 innings most likely.

Depending on games 3 and 4 shake out I wouldn't be opposed to having the pen pitch game 5 though. Some combo of Duffy, Finnegan, Herrera, Davis, Frasor, and Holland.

Knowing Ned though he'll probably go with Shields and let him give up 3 before pulling him which might be too much to recover from.
