I think he's talking about Madlock's poor defense. But with Bill's offensive numbers, his defense is hardly noticed.
-
I'd prefer PCA CF Belli LF Suzuki RF Happ DH against RHP
-
Busch only played 1B before the Dodgers tried him at other positions to get his big stick in the lineup. He can only play 1B. He's not learning it.
-
There's 53 4 win player last year. Without looking, I'm certain that most didn't make 30 million.
-
He crushed LHP last year.
-
I'd rather him have a 3 win season and take his 30 million in 2025, followed up by a 6 win season and opt out after 2 years!
-
To me, this is the obvious thing to do. And they really don't need to get much back. It's just opening up roster spot(s) and getting something instead of nothing.
-
I'm sure it's been answered, but I'm not looking for it. They are 6 million under at 231 mil
-
If he has a 4 win season again, do you thing he opts out of 30 million? I know that Boras will tell him to, but I think it should take a 5 win season for him to be wise to opt out. There's a lot of 4 win players out there, and without looking I would imagine that a high percentage don't make 30 million.
-
I think that Happ should have been leading against RHP for the past 2-3 years. I think it's a done deal now. Against LHP, I'd either give him the day off, or hit him in the bottom 3rd of the order.

I'm 4 miles from the Twins ST, and tickets start at $13, and max out at $35. I'm 8 miles from the Red Sox ST, and depending on the game, they start at $10, and go up to $47. I've gone to several Twins A ball games, and the the front row was $9
-
I agree with this. They do the same thing over and over every year in ST. They don't need a baby sitter to do any of that. I personally think that the only thing that MAY be behind a bit, is hitter's timing. I'm in Fort Myers, and I've been heading over to the Twins ST to take in a little action. They are jogging a little. A little stretching. Playing catch. Batting cages. Fly balls and ground balls hit to them. Bull pen action. Typical stuff that they can do on their own. I think the whole, "not being ready" stuff is way over blown.

Did he still have his curly blonde hair?? Hahaha

Love it! Son of former game show host, Peter Marshall.
-
You are certainly not wrong. I was going by when they were awarded the winning bid. But I'd sat they October is the accurate purchase date. Thanks.
-
It just turned 15 years ago since the purchase.
-
Hahahaha...you guys are brutal!! Funny stuff.

What roster/playing time surprises do you anticipate?

Counsell is very excited to work with Wesneski. I think he's the favorite to get the 5th spot. I think he has to do terrible to not win the job. Also, I don't personally like 3 LHP in a rotation of 5. When Horton joins the team, I think that's when they go to a full 6 man rotation. -
When Jed phoned CC on Nov 1st, and met with him that same day, the Mets interview was just a formality. It was always going to be the Cubs.
-
The only difference here is, you assume that they are going to flounder, and I assume that they are going to succeed.
-
No player in the history of baseball had a track record at the ML level before he became a ML player.
-
Thanks for that!
-
Thank you, Tim!
-
Where can I find AAA batted ball numbers?
-
I should have also mentioned approach. Yes, I agree with this. But if it's primarily not being able to time a major league fastball, or recognize a major league breaking ball, I still think that the only place he can get that taken care of is against major league pitching.
