C.J. Cron homered twice to win Phoenix Suns season tickets
Angels first baseman C.J. Cron had gone 11 days since his last homer, so his teammate Mike Trout made him a deal: hit two homers in last night’s game against the the Athletics, and Trout would buy him Arizona Cardinals season tickets. Cron, who lives in Phoenix during the offseason, asked for Phoenix Suns tickets instead. Trout said it was a deal.
In his first at bat of the game Cron took Athletics’ starter Chris Smith deep. Then, in the eighth inning, Cron did it again, this time off of Michael Brady. Looks like Trout has to pay up now. From the L.A. Times:
“I’ll try to get them on the floor or something,” Cron said. “I think I just won a couple thousand bucks there. And I’ll be going to all the games. Pretty cool.”
Trout missed his second straight game with a stiff neck. At least he’s still helping the team via inspiration and/or bribery. That’s MVP stuff right there.

Did you watch Deron play in the Finals?

Are you really that worried about our 4rth string pg failing us in the finals this year?

Haha, no.

He's not a shooting guard. He's a baseball player.
Gosh, I just don't follow baseball. Only know what I hear on the radio, but usually change the channel when they start talking about baseball.

I liked Gerald Green a lot when he was here. But if I remember correctly, didn't he play best with Dragic? I don't know if he'd be a good fit in our current offense with no pass-first PG to work with. But I would absolutely rather have a Gerald Green than a Millsap or somebody like that.

I thought he was a Tron character.

Man, I am basketball 24/7 except when I am at work. Then it's baseball.
I feel like I'm at work 24/7.

The article you link to sums it up pretty well - "He’s also a bad defender, essentially a league-average 3-point shooter and a fairly inefficient volume scorer"
Until he becomes a more efficient scorer and adds other things to his game (average defense would be a nice start), he won't be a great player.
