Reyes is pushing Luplow out of the picture. Frazier's emergence means they won't have to rely on Kramer, and they can let Kramer force his way on to the starting roster.

It’s pretty pathetic on Luplow’s part that a five foot nothing infielder is pushing him out of the corner outfield spots.

Kramer has been a massive disappointment for me since his callup. Dude is definitely AAA bound to start next season. Similarly, I don’t know what they do at SS because Newman hasn’t been so hot either. The struggles of those two might keep the Max Moroff dream alive. Vomit.

SSS for Kramer. I think he could force his way on to the 25 man in ST.

Kramer and Newman are both Jordy Mercer light imo. Kramer's line this year bears a striking resemblance to Mercer's 2011 year before his callup. Relying on either one is bad and middle infield help should be a priority. If he lights it up in AAA and forces their hand then so be it. I personally wouldn't bet on that

79-76. Two wins from clinching a non-losing record, winning one if Marlins game is canceled.

Didn't someone predict 81-80 because there would be a game they wouldn't makeup?

76-85

Primarily the reasons that Dickie noted and I think they'll lose a game to weather that they won't makeup

i predicted 78 wins in an office poll. I'm happy to be wrong about that

overall im happy with the season with a twinge of "what could have been"

The 11 game win streak and addition of Archer and Kela made this somewhat of a disappointment. If it was a steady 82 win pace all year without ever really tasting the playoff race, I think it'd have a different feel. So yeah, I'm with you KTK

I think there is a decent chance the Cubs implode and the Pirates sweep this series.

A winning record after selling off two hall of famers for a bag of balls in the winter ain't too shabby.

Cutch is not a hall of famer, unless he has a Granderson type mid 30's resurgence.
