Kalapse Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If I had to guess: Â Owens, CF Wise, LF Konerko, 1B Dye, RF Pierzynski, C Betemit, SS Fields, 3B Getz, 2B Danks, P Â Should be a considerably boring game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 QUOTE (kane0730 @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 08:10 PM) At least we get to see Flowers take some cuts.  One of the more interesting parts of the game tonight should be the pitching.  Van Benschoten is scheduled to follow Danks. Then Poreda... Nunez Link and a few others  So we'll get to see a few new arms out there.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Another plus about Santeliz. He's typically been one of the youngest players on every team he's played for. Â So, he's got some room to grow. For example, he was promoted to Birmingham last year at 21 years old. Â If he has a good first half in Birmingham in 2009, it's possible he could end up in Charlotte at age 22.

SouthsideDon48 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I really think there's a lot of potential of there was an expansion team based in Vegas. They can just build it on the outskirts of Vegas, but provide shuttle service to and from the strip. Even possibly sell tickets from designated areas of casinos or something.

To finish the CityCenter project, MGM Mirage had to sell off TI to private investors just to get funds. Their stocks are mostly in the toilet.  But I remember reading somewhere that Vegas was considered as a potential location for either an expansion team or for the relocation of the Expos. I also remember seeing a Mexican city on the list as well. It doesn't seem like MLB is too opposed to the idea of venturing into Vegas.  As for the expected stagnant population growth of Vegas, I've always thought a team based in Vegas would usually have more away team fans than home fans, anyway. I think a team in Vegas won't experience much hometown loyalty from their fans, but they'll be a big entertainment draw from tourists.  Gambling, seeing the Hoover Dam, riding roller coasters, riding dune buggies, seeing Cirque Du Solei (sp?), and... seeing a baseball game. That's all entertainment draws right there.  Plus, any hardcore baseball fan visiting Vegas would love to see their visiting team play the Vegas team. Vegas is also warm enough during the entire baseball season to keep a steady flow of visitors, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 At first I thought you were talking about selling Texas Instruments stock or TI the rapper and then realized it was Treasure Island for $775 million...guess I'm just not that into the gambling/gaming world.
