  1. Group A: Bryce Harper Group B: Giancarlo Stanton, Kris Bryant Group C: Kyle Schwarber, Mookie Betts, Miguel Sano Group D: Jason Heyward, Yasiel Puig, Carlos Gomez, Johnathan Schoop, Addison Russell WC: PM'd
  2. Seeing that really makes you realize how amazing our opening day lineup is going to be with Schwarber or Soler at DH and Montero catching and replacing Hammel in that lineup
  3. He looks a lot bigger than in previous years. Definitely seems like he's added a good 15-25lbs.
  4. Yep. I'm the biggest spring training is meaningless guy and the combination of how terrible he's been plus the high leverage innings he'll be getting has me worried. Yeah agreed. *I think* it's mostly meaningless but it's at least a little concerning, he's been truly awful. I hope he's just working on something and his velocity/movement of his stuff is at least at normal levels.
  5. Rondon pitching like absolute trash this spring
  6. There's are the comments from Williams that Rosenthal has, btw.
  7. These guys go 3 weeks at a time without seeing their families, I fail to see how the kid being in the club house is hurting anyone. Not to mention a 14 year old now knows that the White Sox didn't want himn around and his Dad left baseball because of it. I get that and I certainly don't see an issue allowing his kid around a lot of the time, but by the sounds of it he was there all the time. I get why other players, coaches or FO guys may want to have some times with no kids around. The logical conclusion of this seems to be somewhere in the middle of what LaRoche was doing and what the White Sox requested. They didn't say they were putting a complete ban on him being around, just to not do it 100% of the time.
  8. What a odd story, the comments from Williams that Rosenthal has seems like he/the team made a reasonable request. They just asked LaRoche to not bring his kid 100% of the time but he was still allowed a good chunk of it.
  9. I was listening to MLB radio while driving today and apparently Kazmir's velocity is way down, like topping out mid 80s, in his 2 spring starts. Maybe it's nothing and as a older guy he's just easing into things with a few weeks left in ST but at the same time it could be another guy added to the Dodgers already impressive list of pitchers on the DL to start the year.
  10. I'm really hoping Jeimer had something click last year and he continues this into the minors early this year so we can parlay him into some sort of trade at the deadline for whatever we may need.
  11. freaking dying ahahhahahahahahha LOL
  12. The game is also being replayed at 9 ct tonight on MLBN
  13. I believe Theo said it's going to be ready/done a few days before the Home opener on 670 last week. Sounded like they were under the gun on finishing it and also like the FO was holding out a surprise or 2 for the players when they finally see the finished product.
  14. Arrieta hitting 96 today
  15. The Lester wasn't good last year/didn't product to the contract narrative annoys me almost as much as the bullpen wasn't good last year/is a major area of concern or weakness still this year
  16. I went De La Cruz, it was between him and Edwards. I know Edwards is closer and De La Cruz is further away but I think if De La Cruz reaches MLB his floor is something like Edwards as a relief pitcher and his ceiling is a 2/3 SP while the SP ship has sailed on Edwards.
  17. #1: Gleyber Torres #2: Willson Contreras #3: Albert Almora #4: Ian Happ #5: Billy McKinney #6: Eloy Jimenez #7: Dylan Cease #8: Jeimer Candelario #9: Duane Underwood
  18. Okay, that's 3 votes for moving on with no real objection. The tribe has spoken, on to number 10 with Underwood as #9
  19. I figured there might be enough votes for Edwards or EJM from the Jeimer voters that Underwood might not be the #9 prospect, I certainly can change that and we can go to 10 if that's what people want.
  20. #1: Gleyber Torres #2: Willson Contreras #3: Albert Almora #4: Ian Happ #5: Billy McKinney #6: Eloy Jimenez #7: Dylan Cease #8: Jeimer Candelario As we get further let me know if there are any additions wanted
  21. First time thru, Kansas-Oklahoma-UNC-MSU, Kansas over MSU. No big upsets, Temple over Iowa, UNI over Texas, VCU over Oregon ST, Gonzaga over Seton Hall. All the 1, 2 and 4 seeds in 16 with 2 of the 3s along with Arizona and Gonzaga.
  22. Idk if you could set the over/under in that game high enough for me not to take the over.
  23. Jeimer or Duane
  24. Enough of the catching experiment, #SaveNees
