    Is it plausible that some of Sano's troubles at the plate are related to learning a new position in the field? I think we heard that when Mauer was learning first?

    Striking out on 3 94 mph fastballs was concerning to me. They were a little up in the zone but over the plate

    I thought it was a miracle Duensing wasn't brought back...

    If Liam Hendricks can go elsewhere and start throwing 95, could Tonkin go elsewhere and throw 102?

    I think there might be something with the vision - he often looked bewildered by umpires' calls last year. But even though he can see better, I'm not sure he can drive the ball with authority any different. I expect numbers similar to last year on BABIP, maybe less strikeouts/more walks so overall improvement.

    I would very much doubt that TR would allow a 12 million dollar pitcher pout in the bullpen. Duffey will start in AAA. And we love showing off our reclamation projects, so Kintzler will be on the team. I'm fine for both options, for April, as long as they pull the trigger faster than they did for Stauffer.

    Isn't this good because it might mean Berrios will be one of the next rotation options when someone is needed?

    I get that this is a low risk scenario - but is Quentin 'in great shape'? His knees are fully rested and he's mashing the ball in Mexico? Or he's not sure if he can still play and Spring Training will be his test.

    It would be nice to have more depth across the board - injuries will happen

    Ortiz's spot is currently reserved by Kennys Vargas

    Maybe we should just talk up prospects in case san diego GM guys is reading this

    Per mlbtraderumors we're more in the Craig Breslow market than Craig Kimbrel

    If you're dealing with the Padres would it be worth trying to get Justin Upton? We still need offense too, he's only a rental obviously...
  14. lukeduke1980
    Brewers are glad to take our outfielders we've given up too early on...
  15. lukeduke1980
    It didn't seem like the Tigers gave up a ton for David Price last year - see what's available for the right, um, price
  16. lukeduke1980
    Someone will come out of the rotation - May might be the best candidate, maybe can get his fastball up to 96 or so regularly when only throwing an inning at a time. Other suggestions?
  17. lukeduke1980
    And we should be adding May to the Pen soon when Ervin returns(?)

    There's another part to this Mauer tale, which is the improvement of the AL Central, especially the Kansas City Royals. Mauer destroyed the Royals when they were the AL Central bottom feeders, and padded the heck out of his stats. I'm sure most great players have done this against the poorest teams, but check the stats. I think he slugged over 1.000 annually against the Royals; now the Royals are better as is pitching across the board.
