Duchsherer isn't the A's closer?

Also, didn't Langerhans make the team out of spring trainin?

some of those answers are wrong. bob boone is not the manager of the royals, buddy bell is. johhny damon did not lead the AL in batting at any pt. this season, brian roberts always has. also, manny led the AL in RBI, not ortiz.

and gdawgs, i'm very surprised you didn't know about huston street. he's been some of the hottest baseball news this summer.

I know about Huston Street. I've seen him pitch several times this year, and he got a save against the Braves I remember. I just thought Duchsherer became the closer a few weeks ago.

Street/Duchscherer have been sort of rotating as closers, so either one would've been an acceptable answer. I had a Freudian slip on thinking Boone was the Royals manager.

And yes, when I made this post, Damon was leading the AL in hitting at .344 compared to Roberts' .342, and Big Papi had an 82-81 lead in ribbies.

Props to JJ for this thing..we need another. (Yeah..I'm not gonna trash JJ on his answers..I'm a NICE guy )

actually, b-rob was hitting .345 at the break, while damon was hitting .343. and manny had 81 RBI at the break, while ortiz had 75. kind of a big difference.
