    Not the best outing from Santana, but definitely nice to see him getting out of a jam with a strikeout.
  2. 70charger
    Yeah, that'll work. Looks like a fun time.
  3. 70charger
    I'm mailing it in here. Anyone else watching?
  4. 70charger
    And something snarky about Joe Mauer.
  5. 70charger
    Doze starting his first-half of the season as expected.
  6. 70charger
    Those uniforms sure are ....red.

    I'm watching from my little island 6000 miles away. Excited to see baseball for the first time this year.
  8. 70charger
    Eh...

    If he lets them. If not, you're gonna be kicking yourself over about two weeks service time.

    Not saying anything about Plouffe, but 15 triples smells fluky and teams tend to stop running on arms that lead in outfield assists. Single season stats are nice and he should have a chance to back them up. But let's not pretend we know exactly what he is.

    How about "longish"-term? How about medium-term? How about April 15th or so-term? I guess I'm fundamentally in agreement that he MIGHT be better than what we have right now. But how do you possibly know while at the same time giving a fair chance to those pitchers who deserve it? (Remember I didn't include nolasco in my starting five.) Even if it's true that he MIGHT be better right out of the gate, I think it's smarter business and smarter baseball to wait on him. At least for two weeks. It can't hurt us significantly and it might help us enormously.

    This one is way too late for me, but anyone know if/where they post spring training box scores? I'd like to see how the prospects are doing.
  13. 70charger
    Love this part. Be nice to see whether his changeup can actually be a useable major-league pitch.

    I think with about 7 or so starting pitching candidates healthy at the beginning of the year, it wouldn't make any sense NOT to keep Berrios down for at least 13 days. To be clear as to who I'm talking about, I would call Trevor May or Tyler Duffey the 5th guy in line (after Gibson, Hughes, Santana, and Milone), and whoever loses out between those two goes to the pen but gets a legit shot at starting if one of the others is injured or ineffective early. After him, Ricky Nolasco may warrant taking another shot on if his mechanics look good out of the bullpen. I know that the money argument doesn't carry a lot of weight here, but he's at least worth keeping an eye on. Long-term, I think Berrios has a higher upside than all of them, but keeping him for at least a couple weeks to start the season helps us: 1) get another year of control in his twenties; 2) figure out our supposed logjam at starter; and 3) keep focus on winning in the near-term with guys who have experience and won't need an adjustment period. (Yes, I'm aware that 3 is speculative. Berrios could come in and dominate right away. However, I'm a bit skeptical about that personally.)

    Is there a box score anywhere? I left after the seventh inning.
  16. 70charger
    Polanco hits a bomb. Didn't see that coming.
  17. 70charger
    Woo! On the board!
  18. 70charger
    Nice to see May work out of a jam with a K there.
  19. 70charger
    Have fun tomorrow.
  20. 70charger
    Thanks. Are you not posting about tomorrow's game because you'll be there?
  21. 70charger
    I don't suppose this is being televised anywhere? How are those people who are updating getting their updates?
  22. 70charger
    I liked how realistic these were. Frankly, it's true that most of these guys have glaring weaknesses, and there are very, very few all-star types to come out of any draft. Yes, we hope that they all make it, but it seems like it's too easy to get hyped up on prospects simply because they're ours.
  23. 70charger
    Do hometown discounts actually, really exist? If Mauer wouldn't do it, who would? Also, let's not count over-the-hill players who take a substantial pay "to stay with their team" even though that's probably what they'd earn on an open market.
  24. 70charger
    Two weeks for an extra year. A few months-ish for an extra year of arbitration. Big, big, big difference. No Berrios to start the season.
  25. 70charger
    I agree. ....but I'm drunk.
