Spring Training

[G-Snarls]

Does Brown have any chance of making the team? Thinking no...

[Angrioter]

Zeke is so crappy, in my opinion. I don't know much about Lake though. I know he's not much of a bat. How is he as a defender?

 

He suxx in D, but run and big upside bat/pop

[CHRIS]

I really don't like this. Pompey is almost certainly better than Lake and Carrera, and a team's 4th OF gets almost full PT. If everyone is healthy:

 

Pompey starts 1-2 games a week in LF and Saunders sits against tough lefties.

Pompey starts 1-2 games a week in CF and Pillar gets a breather against top righties.

Pompey starts 1-2 games a week in RF and Bautista moves to DH or 1B.

 

And then you have pinch running/hitting duties, and more starts as guys get banged up.

 

I really like this approach, especially with the uncertainty of where Bautista and Encarnacion are going to be next year.

 

However it is this team got here, it's pretty much built to win now-ish, in that we probably have a better chance to win this season than next. Pompey is certainly better than Lake and Carrera, in just about any and every capacity. I think they should definitely try to find a way to work Pompey into all the roles you suggested at the major league level, in the interest of giving this team the best chance to win.

Surprised he signed with us, he is really low on the depth chart. He never would have got on this team as the 4th OF unless something bad happened

They are not thrilled with Pompey's D and want him down in AAA working on his routes

 

"Pompey will instead begin the year at Triple-A Buffalo to continue his development. Once there, the native of Mississauga will have to not only develop the bat but also show more consistency in the field, where Pompey has experienced a few issues this spring with poor routes to fly balls.

"He's still a work in progress there," Gibbons admitted. "He has tremendous range out there, but it's something he has to keep working on. One thing, guys struggle with the bat in this game, I don't care how good they are, but the one thing that has to be a given is defence. You shouldn't have to worry about that. You might struggle at the plate, but you still go out there and make the plays. He's concentrating hard on that."

Saunders could totally hit 25 homers... If he plays 140 games. Which I don't think will happen.

[glory]

I want Biagini to pan out. Rule 5 picks turning into assets are always nice.

Pretty safe bet for Barker. PF Chang's isn't that expensive.

Quick poll: if offered a chance to go to dinner with Barker and Wilner would you go or not? I wouldn't. I just couldn't.

wouldn't dinner with Wilner involve a trough?

Dinner with a smug, bloated, condescending gas-bag and a washed-up never-was who's allergic to analytics? How could anyone turn that down?

 

I'd actually rather have sex with Barry Davis.

Probably more feminine then most of the men you hook up with.

Ew. After that I'll never be able to look at L54's avatar quite the same way again.

[G-Snarls]

Jays now 5-1 (and without 2 huge bats)

 

The starting pitching actually could turn out to be decent

 

Saunders if he stays healthy really lengthens the lineup

 

Bullpen is still the big question mark

 

In any case I like what's going on so far

Better off ignoring all of it then taking anything from it.
