Box Score Recap, 06 April 2012

I’m going to ask nicely. You probably won’t listen, but I’m going to ask anyway. Do not start drawing conclusions from box scores for at least a month. Its April, its the first game action for these guys in like 5-7 months. Pitchers are still getting stretched out. Hitters are still getting up to speed. Do not get carried away, either positively or negatively. Just gaze at the box scores and tuck the info away. Then, in a month, we’ll start to make some sense of it.

Joe Savery has made the 25 man roster

That’s the word on the street, at least.

This site has been around for a little more than 5 years, and Savery’s story is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen since I started closely following the minor leagues like 10 years ago. He was close to calling it a career and retiring, he switched from pitcher to hitter, then switched back to pitcher, recovered 3-4 mph on his fastball, and is now on the opening day roster of the big league club.

No matter how good he ends up becoming or what role he carves out at the major league level, his story is a great inspiration for future players, and a good lesson that anything can happen in baseball, and even when you think you have a good idea of what is going to happen, you can still be completely surprised.

Congrats to Joe, and continued success.
