    Isn't it the Giants turn again? Better aim for '17

    have you ever made fun of yadi's neck tattoo? Or Braun's affliction tees? I don't want to root for douches. I know that I likely already do, but its unknowingly. I don't want it to be obvious.

    Did Addison get a face tattoo? Initials above his eye?

    Because Gordon is a gamer. Is Fowler a gamer?

    Austin Jackson?

    Right, I'm sure all mlb umpires are uncorruptable

    I mean, if you stretch it, it kinda looks like we expected to get beat by the Mets? Or something? It's definitely way too Met-ey

    No one answered my question from the first page so I'll try again: anyone that has seen Contreras in person... Is he really only 175lbs, or is that an outdated figure?

    Hearing people talk about how much sleep they get is about as exciting as hearing about their dreams. P.S. I get about 5.5-6.5

    Oh yeah? He a candidate to retire already?

    Beautiful. Javy is going to end up our Bautista.

    Ahh, gotcha. I assumed the owners would've stripped the blocked seats down and sold them off on eBay or craigslist or something.

    Great pictures, thanks Brian I mustve somehow missed why the rooftops are unused?

    Contreras was #11. Pretty good in a strong, deep league. To put the depth into context, Schwarber was only #4 on the list, despite posting a 1.000+ OPS there with .430 OBP and 16 HR in 75 games, and then hitting another 16 for the Cubs. If the league has 3 guys better than Schwarber, and only six guys between Schwarber and Contreras, that's pretty favorable for Contreras. I also suspect that there's some "where did this come from and will it last" questions with Contreras. Fifth season in the states: .333/.413/.891 (2015) .242/.320/.679, (2014) .248/.320/.742, (2013). .273/.316/.673, (2012) .261/.305/.652. (2011) When a guy's been in the .240-.275 batting average range, and suddenly he hits .333, can you believe it will last? When a guy's been in the .305-.320 OBP for four years, and suddenly flashes .413, can you believe it will last? When a guy's been in the .650-.750 OPS window for four years, and suddenly he's .891, can you believe it will last? This year's numbers are just so wildly out of line with his past history, I suspect there's some natural and very appropriate hesitation on the kid. Didn't have the same kind of progression?

    Contreras really only 175 lbs? If he made it to the majors next year and caught Edwards, they'd have to set some sort of record for lowest combined battery weight, right?

    I think at this point, Castro is strictly a 2B in Joe's eyes. Of course he can play SS if needed, but thats if 22 and 9 aren't available. Castro has had his share of shaky plays at 2nd, too. Javy had some jitters that I'm sure he worked out. He'll be fine.

    I think the move for that particular situation would be to swap who you have there. Russel at SS and Baez in CF. Baez said he would be open to a move to the OF and started taking some fly balls in Iowa before he was called up this past time. Not suggesting that moving either to CF is worth exploring. That being said, I think Russell would have a better chance of becoming a good CF than Baez. I base that mostly on body type and perceived athleticism. I believe Russell is a better athlete. I think if Baez was capable of playing CF they would have already tried him their at Iowa. Baez is capable of playing shortstop, so I'm 100% positive he is more than capable of playing center field. Why in the world would we move him to center field just because he could handle it? I'm sure Torres could handle it, too, but it would make no sense to move him there, either. Huh? If he could handle it and his bat proves to be what we hope it is, it absolutely would make sense to move him there. We have an opening there and we don't have one at SS. And it's not like CF isn't a premium position in its own right. I read his post to mean that the Cubs don't think Javy can handle center field since they never put him there in Iowa.

    He literally calls the guy, "Guy". This is kind of how i picture him walking into the clubhouse now "Addison! Hey man, how was your weekend? Now way, thats crazy! Oh hey Guy, do you think you could still play football if you really wanted to? I think you could, too. Georie, como esta, me amigo? Tu zapatos es muy, muy bueno. Hey.. Guy, how you doing? Doing good? Staying loose? Cool man, very cool. KB... funny text this morning, but you didn't have to leave. Javy! Get back here, I told you not to tag me in that instagram!"

    ant thank you for doing it for me I swear it was autocorrects fault. And partially my proofreading.

    I know CY voting has gravitated away from the meatball standards of the past, but in a year where any of the top 3 are seriously deserving, I think the guy with the no hitter and historically dominate stretch will get the scales tipped his way. If you made a pro/con list for all of them, I think Jake would come out on top.
