FWIW it is peggy kusinski's son though

RF i think is the spot where we're going to be underwhelmed, free-agent wise. I dont know if it'll be Calhoun but it'll be someone we're a little meh on, and it will placehold for Micker, who they are high on

Bench bat? Unless he were to surprise everyone and improve as a catcher, it's hard to imagine the bat-to-ball ability being good enough for most-days-1B/DH If we were set to be a bad team for another year, then absolutely he would get a whole year to try/succeed/fail

i get a little put off by having to continually see the word 'ample' here when this is bumped

Do we know the Bulls didn't pursue? He signed a different team's offer sheet, and also there were draft picks moved to facilitate a sign & trade.

Scott Merkin‏Verified account @scottmerkin 10s10 seconds ago More Anderson had follow up. High ankle sprain. Could be 4-6 weeks.

Or it's that WAR is accurate, and the thought process you have here shows how relievers are not as vital as we think they are (over the course of a year)

What do we know about him? Francys Romero‏ @FrancysRomero10 FollowFollow @FrancysRomero10 More Sources: Yoelkis Cespedes, Yoenis brother, defects and leaves the Cuba National Team in @CanAmLeague.

So if Yonder somehow actually does reach the vesting option with PAs, we still have a $1M buyout that can override that, right?

Alonso should play against righties. He's due for some BABIP improvement, and Zack Collins has too much of a bat-on-the-shoulder OBP to warrant much more than a last month callup.

Lopez - bad now, but hopefully he can be turned around. My concern is the lack of an out pitch. He uses so many pitches that he screams reliever but this year is the perfect time to wait and see (since, really, what else are we going to do. any replacement starter would replace banuelos anyway)

eff Passan‏Verified account @JeffPassan 25s26 seconds ago More The Chicago White Sox are expected to take Cal first baseman Andrew Vaughn with the No. 3 pick in the MLB Draft, sources tell ESPN.

If Vaughn is highest rated available you have to take him, because I dont know who of those guys ends up working out. You cant assume theyre all going to hit Eloy would be the best bet but you can get away with him at LF at times. Hopefully on a good team he doesnt have to play there, but still.

Brutal. We suddenly left 2019 for a second

Yolmer is pretty clearly the new Buehrle in terms of wackiness/having fun. But once he is no longer on the team it seems like Eloy might have a throne claim there

Maybe Leury is the CF next year over Tilson. I like his defense more, even though Tilson's sort-of-youth suggests we want to see what he maxes out as (overall) Robert in RF

Almost charlie

So Erv Santana gave up $4M to not have to live in Charlotte for 4 days

When it's used by afr. american, it is the variant ending in -a. Not a slur. Should not be treated like a slur.

Team is more fun than last year, but still not good. Good to learn about the down-roster now and then 2020 is let er rip

was praise, not questioning

looking more and more like mccann is the one who will get to stay when MiLB catching comes up

TA came to baseball late. makes you wonder how much ceiling he has left that you can dream on, despite his age
