    Not with the likes of Boof Bonser, Coco Crisp and Dick Pole out there! It is a pretty cool name though!

    In fairness, it should also be pointed out that those guys getting ready for the WBC are getting game reps at the WBC too. That shouldn't be ignored either. But that's why we're saying that this should be part of the conversation.
  3. wsnydes
    The WBC plays into this conversation, but there's still 2.5 weeks of spring training. 5-10 games can be piled up in that time without an issue. I'm not concerned about it yet. If this is still a conversation come April 1st, that's a different story. Until then, I'm not going to be overly concerned about it.

    Yeah, I get what you're saying. I'd rather be seeing them than not, but I'm not going care about not seeing them too much in March. I'll care more come April. He's getting work in, that's what I'm concerned with. Whether it's in a game or not is really immaterial to me.

    There's still 3 weeks of spring training left. I'd be far more concerned if it were April 1st. He's reportedly facing live pitching, taking BP and doing fielding work. It's not like he's just sitting around doing nothing.
  6. wsnydes
    Just because he's not seeing game action doesn't mean that he's not healthy. Expecting to see any single player in Spring Training is an unrealistic expectation. Especially at this point in camp.
  7. wsnydes
    Agreed. The veterans know what they need to get ready for the season. It's the young guys that need the reps and work with the big league staff for as long as they can.

    My thoughts exactly. I'd be more likely to extend Gray than Maeda on age alone. I really want nothing to do with a Maeda extension unless it's extremely team friendly. I can at least entertain the idea of extending Gray, but I'm not sure that I'd do it.

    Gotta love the Opening Day countdown!

    If you're going to do it, I would do it after next season. You get a clearer picture of his health and a second season's worth of data points. I don't think there's any real rush at this point though.

    Is this like Valentine's Day where even though you're supposed to love and appreciate your significant other every day of the year, there's one day set aside each year where you're obligated to buy a card and such? Hallmark really does think of everything.
  12. wsnydes
    I'd say that that contributed more to the offensive problem than the defensive one.
  13. wsnydes
    Given the three true outcomes approach of today's hitters, I'm not totally sold on the defensive athleticism becoming the premium it once was, but I do think there will be a slight resurgence in it. Particularly in the infield. And I like that a lot. I'm just not convinced that it's going to be all that noticeable generally speaking. That said, the FO clearly thinks that it will be a bigger difference based on their acquisitions this offseason. I'll be happy to be wrong if that logic pays off and a good defensive team makes a significant difference. And I'd rather have a good defensive club than a bad one any day anyway.
  14. wsnydes
    Especially if Maeda looks more like a bullpen arm than a rotation arm.

    I'm still looking for the seeds to grow them. They're impossible to find! Must be popular.
  16. wsnydes
    I knew there was a silver lining in not being able to watch somewhere!
  17. wsnydes
    There are times where I'm almost willing to jump off the Human Being Bandwagon! 😆
  18. wsnydes
    It amazes me how few players these days know and understand the history of the game. Shameful!
  19. wsnydes
    I don't really see him as being in any real trouble barring a complete meltdown this season without ridiculous injury numbers like they've had the last two seasons. I think he's doing what the FO is asking him to do, so unless the FO gets let go, I don't see Rocco being in any real trouble.
  20. wsnydes
    Applies to all of them. Nobody has had game reps since September. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
  21. wsnydes
    Just as long as you're committed to said indignation!
  22. wsnydes
    I need a sarcasm header!
  23. wsnydes
    Your feed must be a bit behind. 🙂

    I GOT IT! I GOT IT! Note: I'm in Minnesota...

    True, but this is why spring training exists. It's real game experience to shake off the rust.
