My weekly AL Recap Podcast "A Podcast To Be Named Later" aired live at 2pm EST Sunday with guest Brandon C Williams of RotoExperts.com and we touched on a lot of topics.
In our Players in Focus segment we discussed David Ortiz's amazing final season, debated Jose Reyes and whether his suspension was excessive or lenient and we compared Max Scherzer's 20 strikeout gem to no-hitters and perfect games. Then we got down and dirty and looked inside the American League divisional races.
