Another killer catch by Superman Pillar last night.

I'm a fan of baseball in part to the stats. I'm not your usual Jay fans which of course will have a favourable bias towards the team's expectations.
This is an overhyped team because they have the ability to crush people with the long ball. You can't rest on the long ball. I'm sure they will improve from their April performance but, I don't see this as a (guaranteed) playoff bound team. I see them as a 500 team. Manufacturing runs has always been their biggest weakest (and a big one you don't want to have) and they lost the best player they had at doing it.
