Hampton and Arias would be great gets. Been saying that for weeks now. Arias has fantastic upside. Might be untouchable this season if he stays healthy and performs.

He had another.

My god. That article mentioned nothing about "struggling to hit 94." It said he's encouraged to be at 94 and meeting his goal of a mile per bullpen session. Can't you just wait and see how it plays out Instead of just feeding everything into your miserable dour Cease scenario? You are like Parkman reincarnated.

Hmm. I could get behind that profile. Good look.

I think he's often uninformed and has some truly bad takes. Just my opinion. I love Jim and James though. Best in class.

Awesome for Fegan. Best White Sox writer hands down. Maybe it's time to become a Patron despite Josh Nelson.

God I hope Gonzalez makes us eat our words. The amount of 2023 1st round alternatives on that list makes me sad.

I don't buy Crochet as closer. They just recently announced he's going to be stretched out. This team doesn't need him as a closer when they are going to lose 100.

Getz has to be looking for pitching back after dealing Mena yea? Kinda wish the Reds were still interested. I'd love Lowder & Petty.

I don't know how you are likening Mena to Vera. Mena is a 20 year old that has reached AAA upon 2 full years in affiliated ball. He's 7 years younger then the league average. He has a gift for spinning the ball with his breaking stuff, and strikes out a mess of dudes. I'm not worried about the command yet. It isn't horrible and he's only 20 years old. The main knock on him is the fastball is light and maybe too hittable. Vera has pitched a grand total of 69 innings now, has much worse control then Mena, has been hurt consistently and his stuff has backed up. He's also 3 years older and has pretty much peaked in High-A. They are not alike at all. Have you watched either of them pitch before?

Was he the serial bullpen napper?

I sure would like to acquire more draft picks. Let Shirley go wild.

Can't be. Harold likes him.

As a flip candidate? (In addition to him being an awesome dude.)

Around a million added to the draft pool I think?

How dare you. I'm actually more concerned with the fastball then the control. It's very hittable.

Fletcher comes in at 22nd on BA's preseason D-Backs Top 30.

I assume this is our new starting RF.

I don't know enough about Fletcher to have an opinion yet.
