Him and Andrew McCutchen on the Pirates were very good mid-season call-ups. McCutchen was a lot more impactful immediatel­y. It took Gordon quite a few games to adjust. But, both very good players.

What about Rick Porcello of Detroit? 3.96 ERA, 89 SO, 14-9 record. Stats blow away the pitchers above. Oh yeah, shutdown the Yankees and Red Sox.

They've needed a sports page for a while (style, living, entertainm­ent, but no sports).

Now all they need is someone who knows what the heck they're reporting.

Price was completely badass when I saw him in Detroit. But he was inconsiste­nt - he'll learn.

Beckman is a special talent and is being fasttracke­d to becoming the team leader.
