Going 500 against the AL East, and winning every series against the rest of the league is the surest way to the playoffs. Let's keep this going with a series win here.

This is the only sub .500 team we're expected to play in the entire month of April. Needless to say, two out of three wins here is a minimum.

Until he can throw again, which may be a month
They badly need him, especially if the alternative is starting a complete scrub in Straw

Wagner is such a good looking hitter. I'd take him over Clement any day. Gimenez is basically providing the spark that I was expecting Santander to provide so far lol.
