  1. Sitton doesn't really fit the ZBS, and Sims, if nothing else, provides a steady presence and mentor for Shaheen, and in a smaller respect, Burton, who will likely split out wide quite a bit. Not thrilled with Sims being kept with his tag but I think it makes some sense. If Burton or Shaheen get hurt they'd be in big trouble. If you can get Sitton for one more year and Meredith passed his physical, this cuts down the serious need to fill those two holes, I think you still look for Sitton's replacement if the right guy is there, like Nelson. I like the Daniels pick, but I was really hoping they would get Landry in the 2nd. Well if the reports are true that they had no interest in Nelson, with his college coach on staff, then he probably wasn't the right guy, really. And I'm not sure it would be wise to ask a mid 30s injury prone G to play in a scheme he doesn't fit, even if it's just as a stopgap. That was the clear driving force of not picking up Sitton's option, IMO. To me, Pace gave Vic a franchise player, gave his new OL coach a franchise player, and then gave his new HC and Helfrich a possible franchise player. From there he added some high upside athletic players with pretty low floors. Though I do think Nichols is exciting, and Fitts is quite intriguing. His 3-cone is comparable to Landry's.

  3. Arrieta just struck out his first Marlin and has allowed 5 runs in 3.1
  4. He had elbow problems going back to last season, iirc Ah I believe that's right
  5. So is this something he played through for a while or did this just occur?
  6. Next time we face them I would like us to score More than 2 runs per game, but dubs are dubs, and it was fun seeing them fail so hard to get on base as well.
  7. Pace gets an A from me this off-season. What say you guys?
  8. Nick Kingham perfect through 6 vs the Cards in his MLB debut
  9. Because Almora still sucks against RHP and Zobrist is twice the hitter he is. Rizzo is ass right now. And Javy should get more RBI opportunities. Why would you move Rizzo down when you know he’s going to turn the corner and hit like the best hitter in the league in a week or so? He does this slump thing like 3 times a year and turns it around each time. Because Kyle is mashing, simple as that. Put his high OBP at the top.
  10. Everything that's been reported says Daniels will compete at LG, and keep Whitehair at C.
