Yoenis Cespedes certainly brightened the financial futures of Cuban prospects with his monster rookie season, but if not for the way Puig performed in Los Angeles, chances are Abreu would not be getting the sort of attention he is getting now, cheap odell beckham jersey which is lots. Just consider what the respected publication Baseball America was saying about Puig after LA signed him to a seven-year $42m deal.

Now consider the sort of numbers Abreu put up in Cuba. In the 2011-2012 season, he hit .394 with an OPS of 1.379, which included 35 homers in 71 games for Cienfuegos. This season the first baseman hit .382 with an OPS of 1.270 with 13 homers over 42 games – jaw-dropping numbers which should provide him with some decent leverage in negotiations, as will his recent appearance in the World Baseball Classic during which he hit three homers in six games. However, some in the business advise caution. custom team jerseys cheap The same Baseball America article that described the bewilderment surrounding LA's financial commitment to Puig also included this quote from an unknown Latin American director:

Dan Uggla has never put up the prettiest of stat lines but this season has been a whole other level of ugly. The Braves second baseman is hitting .186, by far the worst batting average in baseball among non-pitchers. What's changed? Well, if you ask Uggla, it's his declining eyesight. road bike jerseys cheap Uggla is leaving the team to undergo Lasik eye surgery, which will keep him out for a month, something that's a bit strange but is a non-issue for Atlanta as they've basically wrapped up the National League East. Tyler Pastornicky was brought up to replace him, but after hurting his knee on Wednesday, Atlanta may have to dig a bit deeper into their system to temporarily replace the all-star.

Uggla is one of those players who has been able to keep his job despite a plummeting batting average and a rising strikeout total because of his power. Despite compiling a WAR of -1.9 this season, because Uggla has blasted 21 home runs (a lot these days, that ranks him seventh in the National League), his league-leading 146 strikeouts and other putrid statistics are tolerated. Somewhere, bills jerseys cheap somehow, striking out at a furious rate became acceptable in baseball, and there's no sign of that changing now that we're in a pitcher's era. Strikeouts are down slightly this season compared to last season, but before that, you have to go all the way back to 2004 to find a year in which strikeout rates dropped. Because of that overarching trend and his moderate-to-good power, Uggla will almost definitely have a job when he returns and the Braves head to the postseason.

The Dodgers improved to 38-8 since 22 June, the franchise's best 46-game stretch in the modern era that began in 1900. The 1899 Brooklyn Superbas had 38 wins in several 46-game stretches between April and June.
