When will we officially know the four bench players? I can't remember exactly when rosters get finalized.

Colas on the bench because we are facing a lefty (Valdez)? Or Colas starting in AAA?

I think he’s talking about the way he acts after a minor injury. Perhaps “dramatic” is a better word than soft. Sometimes he looks like he got shot in the leg, and it turns out to be more minor than the bruise I got on my thigh when I walked into the corner of my coffee table.

Is it wrong that I checked the schedule to see when we play Houston the second time this year? (For those interested, it is within the first two months of the season.)

Even if you don’t believe that, how can you look at his production over the past four years, along with who has been throwing him the ball, and not think he’s a legitimate #1 WR?

The Packers offered a 2023 first round pick for Moore and Carolina declined. So you are wrong.

Moore is absolutely worth a first round pick. He’s 25 years old and has three years left on a friendly deal. Go look at his numbers and then look who has been throwing the ball for the past four years. He is definitely a #1 WR. This is a fantastic trade for the Bears.

I’ve been backing Grandal all off-season.

I guess that’s why they play games. Can’t wait to find out who is correct.

I’m not sure how anyone can look at the two rosters side by side and think the Twins are better.

This is what scares me the most. In my non-expert opinion, he looked terrible last year. Not just the results. His stuff looked awful.

I would guess Zavala, Leury, Romy, and Sheets.

I think Kelly will have a nice bounce back year.

How many runs?

I was confused, too. I googled the quote, and it’s about Moncada. Here’s the article: https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/white-sox-pedro-grifol-says-yoan-moncada-here-do-something-special

When the Sox got knocked out by Houston two years ago, I still enjoyed the s%*# out of that series. The Sunday night game was awesome, and I wasn’t even there. Had some friends over to watch in my basement, and it was so fun. Then I went to the game on Tuesday when we got slaughtered and eliminated, and even that was a great memory. Waking up all jacked, taking the train down there with a buddy, going crazy when Rodon got out of the bases loaded jam and then when Sheets went deep for a 1-0 lead. Sure, the outcome sucked, but I would love another experience like that.

Agreed. I feel like we have asked @Y2Jimmy0 about this in the past, but I can’t remember what he said. As always, great work James.

I hope you are right. I’m optimistic as well.

Wrong thread…

Can you expand on that? What role would Burger have?

At this point, the cash is spent regardless of whether you cut him. The only thing that matters is whether they think they can create a better 26 man roster without him.

I got the same feeling, which would be very interesting. Maybe Colas makes the team, Romy takes over the Leury role, and Sheets gives you a left handed stick off the bench who could also DH or play some 1B. That would still allow you to keep someone like Marisnick as a glove-first outfield reserve. I originally didn’t think there was any scenario where Leury wasn’t on the opening day roster, but now I’m not so sure.

I’ve never heard of a solid defensive SS not being good at 2B. Most solid shortstops can play pretty much anywhere. And if Andrus struggles at the plate, Romy will get a shot, which is right where we would have been without this signing. Also, we have a backup plan for SS now in case TA gets hurt. I really don’t see any reason to not like this move, unless you think he will struggle and continue to be in the lineup all year.
