You just have to be Jewish to play for Israel? They could have a decent lineup.

He could be a citizen of Israel in a few days if he wanted to.

I posted before but it's quite the potential offensive team.

 

1B Ike Davis and Nate Frieman (helped them qualify will likely stick with them)

2B Kinsler

SS Bregman

3B Valencia

C Lavarnaway

LF Braun

RF Joc Pederson

CF Pillar

Bench - Fuld, Borenstein, Decker

 

Pitching will be a question mark but they will thow out guys like Marquis, Feldman, Bleier, Moscot, Sherriff, Breslow.

Did phillies sign Benoit away?

[Pendleton]

Did phillies sign Benoit away?

 

Yes.

[Brownie19]

Kind of nuts to think Benoit will make $7.5M this year while Andrew Miller will make $9M

And about the same amount as Cecil.

[Captain Adama]

 

Is there are RHP also named Brett Oberholtzer that I haven't heard of before?

[SweetSmellingChacin]

When I saw name, I thought of him

lol, bad few days for baseball writers in terms of errors.

Yeah, wait until the Vatican enters the WBC next time around.

[AdamGreenwood]

Russ Martin committed to playing for Canada at WBC!

 

Canada should tell him to f*** off. WBC isn't a joke where he can play shortstop for shits n' giggles.

These guys are in such a hurry to be the first to post info, they don't have time for the facts.

[burlingtonbandit]

This is good to hear. Nice to have all players working at the same facility and can be supervised by the high perf. staff.

 

Stroman just got there too. Sanchez and Pillar as well.

 

[Doc]

For a guy that spent most of the year in the minors last season it's hard to believe he thinks so highly of him, the quote is around 6:15. If he is our lefty for the season, will be a long one.

[RealAccountant]

Makes you wonder the value of Atkins compliments

[Laika]

Loup is actually good though.

[reedjohnsonfan]

Loup is actually good though.

 

He's fine. They should of course try to get a better lefty, I can think of one Cuban guy they could use...

[Candy Maldonado]

Stroman shrunk

Haha as if Atkins, Lowell and A-rod were on the same team.

They were, what's hard to believe? It's just travel ball at the time.

Just funny that those 3 guys would be on the same team.

It is, blew me away during the meetings. Cool information.

[G-Snarls]

[G-Snarls]

Just something that made me chuckle

[Brownie19]

I like the symbol they came up with.

[wamco]

HDMH is right for price come playoff time

[Pendleton]

I'm going to go ahead and predict that we'll see some Blue Jays news today, just a gut feeling (but maybe I'm still hungry).

Atkins and Shapiro only make moves on Friday. The Pearce signing was an aberration.
