Figured it was time to get this one going. My prediction is that since we have the same team coming back from last year for the most part, I'll say we win 85 games.
I don't see the same team coming back . galdo , Nolan and wieters all gone is a plus . our bp will be better with options so the bp moving up and down could allow more movement from aaa plus more players on the bench . bundy and gausman both looking good . Trumbo not in rf will mean a lot . I have been impressed with tavarez the rule v guy pretty sure he is lh plays second and outfield . which in a pinch move strop to third and manny to short so maybe a way to keep him and let ryan go . trey needs to be a full time player no way he is worse in the outfield than trumo and pedro . I go 90 wildcardFigured it was time to get this one going. My prediction is that since we have the same team coming back from last year for the most part, I'll say we win 85 games.
I like drake but he want make it and the other team would have to put him on the major league team . he should clear waiversDrake has been terrible this spring over 10era. He is out of options, does anyone think he'll make the team?
The overall roster looks pretty weak. Starting Pitching again will be an issue as the FO did nothing to improve this area of the team. We overpaid for Trumbo when Mancini could have taken those AB's. We also did little to nothing to improve our OF defense/speed. Dyson was available and we passed as he could have helped in 3 areas. (Lead off/Defense/Speed on base paths) I think we are who we have presented for this season, an average team who will have to out score opponents to win. I see a .500 future for our O's!
How long do you think before Lee gets brought up? Do you think he'll be the first one if someone from the starting rotation gets hurt or likely a September call up when rosters expand?with dans track record do we really want him signing or trading for anyone . we could have Zach daveis and edrod for both for rentals . I think our outfield D will be better by anyone not named Trumbo in it
tilly , gausman , daveis , edrod and bundy looks better than what we have .
I think it may be Aquino they say he has a new pitch . lee to me is second . I look for them to let one of the starters go in a trade or waviers . miley and waldo or the first if we are out of it I can see them trading tilly I think he is a fa next year . wright has good stuff but is a head case . Wilson would do as a 5 th starter . so we have good depth as starting pitcherHow long do you think before Lee gets brought up?

while they say we haven't improved just Trumbo out of the of and matt behind the plate is both huge pluses . with the depth at aaa and the bench weakest link is flarety the only one that is an automatic out . jj is due a good year .
tilly is only one I would be interested in and we have a few if they have big season at aaa . we want sign a fa starter next year . one thing we will never see trey act like aj . lets go o's when is aj contract up I hope it is soonWaldo, Tillman, and Miley (option) all could be free agents by the end of the year.
Jones will be a UFA in 2019.tilly is only one I would be interested in and we have a few if they have big season at aaa . we want sign a fa starter next year . one thing we will never see trey act like aj . lets go o's when is aj contract up I hope it is soon
Holy shit yes. I couldn't care less how far a runner is off the base.Maybe it's just me but did it annoy anyone else when they were doing the how many feet they were off the base yesterday? Of the things they do, to me its not something I care about at all.
