Around SBN: SB Nation NFL Power Rankings for Week 11

Steve Pearce hit 2 homers at AAA Indy last night

430 and 425 feet.  The first one was a grand slam.  I was at the game and I gotta say it was super exciting.  That's the first time I've ever seen a grand slam in real life.  They were also Pearce's first two homers of the season, and he's now OPSing .794.

John Van Benschoten pitched 5 innings and gave up 1 run on 4 hits and 3 walks, striking out 3.  His pitching is about the same as last season, which makes me think he still won't be able to cut it in the majors.

You just invented a new verb

The guys in the Pirates bullpen are telling each other “I hope I can avoid Derrick Lee tonight. He’s been totally OPSing lately.”

I didn't exactly invent it...

but I guess I’m on the cutting edge of its usage. Someday even the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball announcers will be saying OPSing instead of averaging :-P

Sure, bring him up...

...if he’s going to be starting in RF. Which he should be. Otherwise, he’s better off playing regularly.
