New York Tribune, May 20, 1913:
Read More...[Heinie] Zimmerman is said to have been incensed by [Cubs owner Charles] Murphy’s statement…that Zimmerman would be able to play when he could get his hat on with a shoehorn, charging Heinie with having a swelled head.
This afternoon Zimmerman told [Johnny] Evers that he would not play, as he was ill. They then had a redhot argument, in which Zimmerman declared that he was tired of carrying the entire Chicago team on his shoulders…Evers informed Zimmerman that he ...

That's a bit unfair to Sixto Lezcano, who had a career OPS of .799 in the offensive dark ages of the late 70s and early 80s, leading to a career OPS+ of 124.
My first impression of Sixto Lezcano comes from one of the first Baseball Abstracts: James wrote that whenever he ran all the numbers, Jerry Remy always came out worse than he expected, and Sixto Lezcano also came out better than he expected.
zach stewart also to pit for a ptbnl.
should be a few other moves like these in advance of the non-tender deadline.
He had a career .356 OBP while batting just .217 in almost 3000 plate appearances. He had 503 base hits, and 489 bases on balls. In fact, he reached base safely more often by not getting a base hit than he did by getting a hit.
Career BA. 271, career OBP .423.
Westrum and Tenace are the only two players ever who reached base more via walk/hbp than by base hit during their careers.
I mean ... that's unusual. Did he bat 8th and get IBB'd so they could pitch to Ray Oyler?
A's acquire P Sandy Rosario from Boston for a PTBNL. They DFA OF Jermaine Mitchell.
Rangers acquire P Cory Burns for a PTBNL.
Cubs DFA P Casey Coleman
Mariners release Chone Figgins.
Yankes sign Andy Pettitte 1/$12.5
Whoa, I like how you slipped the BJ news in there with the Pettitte thing. The FA chips are finally starting to fall.
