BOTTOM LINE (UPDATED 4/13)

AROUND MLB

*TERRY FRANCONA REMAINS ELITE: The University of Arizona alum and future MLB Hall of Famer seems to always get the most of his roster, including this year with his Reds juggling many early injuries.   

*ANOTHER FUTURE HALL OF FAMER NEEDS TO RETIRE: 41-year Max Scherzer allowed 8 runs in 2.1 innings and was booed by the home Toronto fans in Sunday’s loss to the Twins.

*ANOTHER FUTURE HALL OF FAMER REMAINS ELITE: Jose Ramirez has homered in every MLB park after going deep over the weekend at Atlanta.  

*ANOTHER FUTURE HALL OF FAMER IS NOT PRODUCING: The Mets Francisco Lindor has ZERO RBI in 76 plate appearances.   

*TIGERS ROOKIE KEVIN MCGONIGLE LOOKS GREAT: There is ZERO doubt about his defensive skills and he entered this week hitting .322.  

*THE PIRATES KONNOR GRIFFIN LOOKS GREAT AND NOT GREAT: The 19-year old is already an elite defender at short but has close to zero chance the plate (.138 with 1 extra base hit in 34 plate appearances).
