A split squad lineup but it's the full roster. Yikes.

Fletcher is fine for what he is. 4th OF type. He'd be a great 26th man.

It really is amazing how a team this fan murdering still has active threads like this appreciate the info even if myself is a 2/10 excitement level

They probably want to move one of them to RF which would be silly at this point in their careers. I think it's BS. Mariners are a notoriously staid franchise and one that will always choose the path of least criticism.

I do too. I would have a pretty radical rest plan for him as it's the only thing that really matters, certainly more important than having him hit a game winning HR or something. I'd start him three days a week in the OF and twice at DH and let him rest the other two. It will never happen but if this org really was serious about maximizing the chance of a quick(ish) rebuild it would be implemented.

He looks healthy and that's all that matters. If he's healthy, production will be there. Even when he came back last year he never looked right imo.

Some outfields get hits. Ours takes hit. Hey now!

Problem is league average as a bottom 1/3 1B / DH as a RHB is completely worthless.

Signs of life as calendar turns to March!

They still doing the ticket food and drink special there in Peoria? Last time I was down there they had a 30 dollar buy in and you got like 3-4 whiskey drinks and a couple solid food options out of it

@nrockway @Bob Sacamano you know, sadly enough I'm with ya. I'm so sick of Vaughn.

Joey Gallo makes Adam Dunn look like Jim Thome.

Joey Gallo? What we building another 120 loss club?

Eh, don't want to yuck ur yum but if it's just spasms it doesn't really point to anything chronic or structurally necessarily.

It's this sort of bad break that can really be the difference between just being historically bad and setting our own record breaking historically bad total last year.

Who cares? Why would I root against any Sox player? Getz is a clown, Colas is just a dime a dozen AAAA type but our org did him zero favors and I guarantee word around the league is that this franchise is poverty, doesn't develop any young talent and is a miserable place to be.

I think he hates this org and is depressed. I don't blame him.

Much like a dead arm if the player isn't back in a week or two get concerned. Until then it's a nothingburger. Last year he had oblique tear, different issue and unrelated to any sort of spasms he's having in his back. Young tall dude getting a shitload of reps after adding muscle so yea, could be just usual wear and tear from ramping up in spring.

That's the crux of it. It was a massive scouting fail. His best position is...hitter? And he needs massive improvement there? What are we doing? Hope in one hand and in the other...

I wonder if Vargas' walk rate will come down if he continues to show no real power. Like Madrigal, if the pitcher thinks he can knock the bat out of your hand, you're not going to get worked around very often you'll just get attacked mercilessly.

Honestly nobody but thread tax I will go with Beni. I think for some reason he’s going to be motivated to GTFO and while it is just a wild hunch I think he starts hot and builds trade value.

Yea I said it yesterday. The SP is going to be horrific. We could challenge our own record.

Slinker?
