MASH Report — (5/22/14)

by
May 22, 2014

The Mash Report is on the paper thin side today. I have been a bit busy. I was able to go through all the injury updates and add them into the DL spreadsheet. I plan to go into more detail on some players such as Cliff Lee, Andrew Cashner,  Carlos Gonzalez and others in an additional Mash Report tomorrow. I will also have up-to-date PAIN and HURT reports.

• The Dodgers Alex Guerrero could miss up to fives weeks because of Miguel Olivo’s Mike Tyson like rampage.

• When Tanner Scheppers returns from the DL, he will be back in the bullpen, where he is most productive.

• Joel Hanrahan (link) and Johan Santana (link) are both are coming back from injuries, but are officially on a disabled list. Both are pitching OK and really don’t need to added to any team.

• Hyun-Jin Ryu’s velocity was fine.

the lack of title represents the hole left in our hearts/rosters by all the players on the DL.

The blank title creates intrigue. What is this mysterious RG article? It could be anything…maybe it’s about the emergence of Phil Hughes, or an in-depth breakdown of 2014 Evan Longoria, or an NotGraphs article in disguise… oh it’s just a short Mash report.

Mike Tyson had a nice year in 1977.

What happened to Johan Santa? Seems like he hit pretty well in the low minors for Tejass.
