He made one good grab, and couldn't find the bag a couple times. I don't think any 1st baseman would be able to make a play on the ball that hit the base and went straight up in the air, he just didn't look graceful as he was trying to recover the ball.
Padres willing to pay Marrow an extra $100 grand to have him in the minors. Anyone know if he's finally bit the bullet and accepted that she should be in the bullpen before his arm falls off?
Perhaps they want Ceciliani to play more and hopefully get going before calling him up to replace Carrera. The beginning of the season they players will not be resting much and it might be harder for Ceciliani to get on the roll that we need him to when we actually do have to start resting our outfielders.
In my OOTP 17 franchise I accidentally let Urena go unprotected in the Rule 5 and he got drafted by the D-Backs and hit 30 homers and was top 5 in MVP voting.
Also that season the Jays won the World Series.
He has the ability to be 2 pitchers. As a team that has carried an extra pitcher the past few years he has tons of value if he can be even average on both sides of the arm.
I work next to a video game store and I'm always so surprised when father-aged men come out of it without children. All the parents I know barely have time to take a shower let alone play video games. I'm sure not all are dads but I see more 20-40 year old men coming out of the store than teens.
In the states we used to have a place called Funcoland. It was a chain store of both retro and current games. Everything month they would print a price list on newsprint of how much a game cost to buy and how much you'd get if you traded it in. They also had each of the systems available for you to try a game before you buy it. From my understanding about 15 years ago GameStop bought them out and got rid of the retro gaming aspect of the business. Now you see GameStop trying to get back into the retro game market but they have to stockpile inventory.
I miss Funcoland.
I'd be ok with carrying Chung on the roster because he is versatile. He can play catcher, 2nd, has played 3, and could probably play the corner outfield spots.
Perhaps if they do stash someone like Chavez in the BP they could keep him stretched out by letting them continue throwing in the bullpen or something. I know it sounds silly but it could keep him stretched out and also help in the BP. For Hutch or Sanchez it might be better to have them in AAA to develop. If you think they have developed all they are going to you could do the same there.
I think Biagini and Leon have a good chance of making the team too. With Loup being injured I could see at least one of them making the team. By what Gibby has said about Biagini's "big arm" I could see him having the inside track.
