    I expect to see this in a museum one day. It'll be the new "modern" art.
  2. Danchat
    Buxton's gotta be on pace to break the all-time diving catches record right now.
  3. Danchat
    Not a fan of these Ram commercials. Kinda makes my ears bleed.
  4. Danchat
    Well poo.

    I understand this, but then he's got the 8 and 9 guys batting ahead of him, so he'll rarely have a chance to hit anyone in. Maybe they could do Mauer 1st and Dozier 2nd? I think that'd be better.
  6. Danchat
    Dozier and Mauer's spots should be flipped. Dozier has a really good OBP but so does Mauer, so why can't Joe lead off? Mauer was one of the worst hitters in the game at hitting runners home in 2016, so placing him in the #4 spot is foolish. Castro at #6 also makes no sense. I think Kepler and Polanco will be moving up past Castro in the lineup sooner rather than later.

    You had me for about 5 seconds. But compared to other joke headlines, I at least believed it for a moment. I could totally see this happening.

    This is very interesting... I have a few remarks. How do the Angels win their division, get 91 wins, and play in the World Series with that terrible rotation they're employing? Also, trading Nick Gordon for a closer sounds like a really bad idea. Reminds me of a one for one trade that involved an up-and-coming position player for a "proven" closer.

    The 0-16 Detroit Lions went 4-0 in the preseason... the Cubs went 11-19 in Spring Training last year... I'm sure there's more examples out there. Their record means nothing.

    Our first non-divisional game isn't until April 24th... it would be nice to have a series with a non AL-Central team in the first three weeks.

    I haven't heard anything, but I'd have to assume he'll hit the 15 day DL with the way things are going. After he's healthy, that's when the Twins will decide to option him or not.
  13. Danchat
    Breslow was added to the 40 man roster and May was placed on the 60 day DL. With Gimenez joining the team, I'll assume that Perkins will also hit the 60 day DL to open a spot for him. But that hasn't happened yet.
  14. Danchat
    My thoughts: I actually like the 13 pitcher decision. Duffey belongs in the bullpen, and I like Mejia in the rotation. The rotation is bad enough so that they'll need 8 relievers. Hate the Park decision. Everyone knows he deserves that DH spot. He better be back soon. Grossman as DH and Santana as 4OF is a bad setup. Not convinced Adrianza will replace DanSan when healthy. This looks like another 90+ loss season. With the news about friction between the new regime and molly, it's incredibly clear molitor needs to go. Not a big fan of falvey/Levine so far, but I'm more concerned about how they draft and develop players. It's gonna be a long season.
  15. Danchat
    And to add to this, they have nobody capable of filling the closer role behind him. I don't want to see Belisle or Breslow in save situations and I don't think Molly is ready to trust Pressly or any of the other younglings. Feels a lot like the Jepsen situation last season. Just because he pitched really well last year doesn't guarantee the fact that he will this time around...
  16. Danchat
    To be fair, O'Rourke's hurt and will start the season on the DL. Not a fan of keeping Tonkin around either.
  17. Danchat
    This bullpen is probably going to fall like a house of cards. It all depends on the development of guys like Chargois, Melotakis, Reed, Jay, and others in AA and AAA who could make an impact on 2017 and 2018. If a chunk of them can figure things out, then I'm not too worried about the future of the bullpen. But if the guys come up to the majors and look like 2016 Berrios, 2016 Pat Light, or Spring Training 2017 Chargois (having no ability to throw strikes or have any command/control), then I'm worried.
  18. Danchat
    Yup, and now that it looks like Tonkin and Haley are making the bullpen, there's little question in my mind that this is one of the worst bullpens in all of baseball. We really need the bullpen prospects to step things up or we're gonna be in for another really long season.
  19. Danchat
    With his 5th HR of Spring Training, I think Park has unquestionably won the DH job back. Hopefully he can carry this success into the regular season.
  20. Danchat
    The only thing I don't want to see is Dozier leading off. I got tired of seeing countless solo HRs while he could have hit runners in. I know his OBP is good, but I'd rather see him in the 2-4 spots.
  21. Danchat
    Just throwing this out there, isn't Engelb Vielma basically a younger version of Adrianza? They're both great defenders who can play shortstop, and neither can hit. Going with Adrianza in 2017 is fine, but I think he's pretty superfluous in the grand scheme of things.
  22. Danchat
    Alright, let's hope Breslow's new pitching technique will do him well. IMO the best case scenario for him is to pitch really well like Abad did last season and flip him for a prospect at the deadline. Though we didn't do so well getting something back for Abad... Anyways, I think the bullpen should end up being: Kintzler Pressly Belisle Breslow Rogers Chargois Duffey (maybe as a long reliever at first, then eventually converting to a long-term standard-length reliever.)
  23. Danchat
    I'm not buying the "Jay will become a starter later" story that some here are believing in. After he reaches the majors as a reliever, when's he going to get the time to ramp up all those innings in order to be a starter? After reading the prospect previews here about Jay, I can see that the writing was on the wall - this guy is most likely going to end up as a reliever, so let's put him on the right path. Maybe he can be a dominating closer one day. Maybe this can prevent him from getting TJ surgery at some point? Probably not, but our 1st rounders seem to be susceptible to that injury... Also if it's true that Perkins is topping out at 78 mph right now, that's not good. I know he wants to work his butt off and earn that $6.5M he's getting for 2017, but he's probably toast. You just don't come back from that injury the same.
  24. Danchat
    After seeing Mejia's 8 strikeout performance today, I'd like to see him as the #5 guy in the rotation.
  25. Danchat
    I definitely want Chargois in the bullpen. I'd rather send Breslow to AAA. I also don't see any reason why Vogelsong should make the rotation. He's never pitched in the AL, hasn't had a good season since 2014, and is 39. I'll pass - he should be AAA depth. If Berrios still isn't ready for the majors, I'd much rather see Mejia or Duffey in the rotation. Even though Duffey should be in the pen. Not sure on Adrianza. I need to see more of his defense and what semblance of offense he brings.
