A reminder that all numbers for hitters are park adjusted (but not pitchers).  What this also means is that, on a monthly basis, applying park factors won’t change much of the stats because of how small they are.  But it will change the yearly stats because they are a larger sample.  This is why you’ll see things like Logan Morrison’s season BABIP being higher than both his April and May BABIP.

And some misc JAX news: Kyle Winters is out for the year with Tommy John surgery.  Jose Ceda is still experiencing pain in the shoulder he had surgery on, having only thrown in extended spring training.  With each passing day, Ceda is looking like the next Travis Bowyer.  Bowyer was a hard throwing relief pitcher that we received from the Twins for Luis Castillo.  He was expected to join the bullpen right away, being called the future closer by Larry Beinfest himself.  However, he’d suffer a shoulder injury and never threw a pitch for the Marlins organization after being traded.  Sound familiar?  Jose Ceda still has time, but don’t expect for him to be in our pen in the future.
