I'm sure that it was a blockbuster.

Lookout Landing had some very interesting points, as always:

Incidentally, about Ryan's offense - he's sitting on a .575 OPS, but he's posted a .633 OPS over the past two and a half months. His career OPS is .642, this is 2012, and he's been playing half the time in Safeco Field. For a while, now, Brendan Ryan has been more or less himself, and what's killing him is having gone 5-for-56 between April 21 and May 16. We can't just write off the early part of Ryan's season as being irrelevant, because those numbers matter too, but Ryan's slump seems to be over. He seems to be back to being Brendan Ryan at the plate, which isn't good, but which isn't a disaster.

I heard the Yanks already had a shortstop. Heard he supposed to be pretty good...

Ryan is best defensive player in baseball, hands down. The amount of runs I've seen him save this year is equal to what prince had driven in if not more. Take ichiro I want Ryan
