Notes: Myers, Eaton, Erin Andrews, center field and some good tunes
I've been on record in numerous places saying that Brett Myers would not have trouble transitioning back to the rotation after being a closer for most of last season.
In hindsight, that was not one of my better predictions.
Given his start tonight -- 6 ER, 4 1/3 innings -- I think we have to begin to question his health.
-----------------
According to John Dewan's State of the Week, Chase Utley ranks as tied with Oakland's Mark Ellis as the best fielding second baseman in baseball so far this season using the Plus/Minus system as a metric.
-----------------
Adam Eaton shagged fly balls in the outfield and tossed one to a fan near the railing in left field. Another fan stepped in front, but leaned over too far. His weight propelled him over the railing.
Luckily, he grabbed the railing with one arm as he fell to the warning track, allowing him to land on his feet, rather than his head.
"It was one of the scariest things I've seen," Eaton said.
I would not stand near him during a thunderstorm.
-----------------
Spent the weekend in New England, and caught Ben Sollee on XM Radio. Good stuff. Apparently he's got a record coming out in June.
-----------------
When I first read that a fan fell over the railing at Citizens Bank Park, I thought this might be the reason.
-----------------
Finally, Shane Victorino should be playing centerfield when he is in the game. On Tuesday night, in the ninth, Jayson Werth made a bad jump on a ball and ended up letting it get over his head. If Victorino gets a bad jump, he has the speed to recover. Some will argue Victorino has the better arm for right, and that's true, but a center fielder has more occasions to use his arm than a right fielder, so it's better to have your best arm there.
