"It's a fastball. It moves."

 

:lol: That is pretty much the definition of a cutter, Dan.

Being so against cutters I assume he knows what one is, but he's saying a fastball that moves isn't a cutter, I want to know what he thinks a cutter is/does.

If it's posted elsewhere, I haven't seen it yet, but Josh Sale and Marcus Stroman got popped for PEDs today.

profar is getting called up

Meanwhile Wil Myers and his 36 homers are not. You know because Jeff Francouer is the Royals right fielder. :banghead: Our time indeed.

Oh good, Olt will have company on the bench.

AAA season is almost over. What does it hurt at this point?

Profer HR in 1st major league at bat. Andrus for Upton this offseason, is my guess.

I don't think it will cost that much to get Upton.

Shelby Miller got called up today

Shelby Miller got called up today

Do they plan on using him in the bullpen or rotation?

The Dodgers called up reliever Steve Rodriguez, who becomes the first player from the 2012 draft to make it to the big leagues.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Casey Kelly will have Tommy John surgery.

[Guest]

Wow - Addison Russell will be starting the season with the A's high-A affiliate.

It appears as though Jackie Bradley Jr will start the season with the Red Sox.

That's crazy. Where is he gonna play? They have Victorino and Ellsbury already not hitting for any power in that outfield.

Jose Fernandez will be in the opening day rotation for the Marlins

I can't imagine him being up without getting major at bats. My guess is he gets strong side of a platoon, with Gomes taking the small side. Their OF is versatile, they'll move some guys(not Gomes) into different spots when necessary.

I have to think its a PR move. Trying to generate some semblance of ticket sales, because with them going nowhere this year, there's no reason at all not to keep him down until they get the extra year of control.

I think Gomes is starting the year on the DL and that played a pretty big role in the decision to start him with the MLB team.

I remember reading that the Red Sox only had to leave Bradley down 9 days or something to get the extra year of control.

their fan base is so small, anyone who already knows who jose fernandez is already has tickets

[Guest]

The Marlins are so dumb.

 

Courtney Hawkins is starting at the White Sox high-A affiliate.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Fernandez will be back in AA sometime in May, I'd imagine.

[Guest]

The Padres' A-ball affiliate (Ft. Wane TinCaps) have a loaded rotation: Joe Ross, Max Fried, Walter Weickel and Zach Eflin will all be starting.
