QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 03:47 PM) I dunno, I think a 3-2 game or a 4-3 game is just as fun to watch as a 13-12 game. I don't disagree, but I enjoy watching potent offensive teams as well.

The Tigers are going to be fun to watch this year. Too bad it's the Tigers.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 03:13 PM) Josh Phegley with another multi-hit performance, hitting .600. Seems like he's finally 100% healthy, or at least as close to it as possible. Hopefully that will translate to him improving his catching.

Keenyn Walker with a brutal start to the year. 8 K's in 11 AB's.

Thought that one was going out.

Simon Castro's first start. 5.0 IP 9 H 4 ER 0 BB 7 SO 2 HR

Josh Feldman ‏ @BigTexJosh Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Olacio hits the first batter then strikes out the next three. Just wild enough to be effective. 93 mph on the gun in the booth. Retweeted by K-Town Intimidators

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 06:55 PM) Twins looking horrible so far this season. As everyone expected.

Cowley says the lineup was revised with Morel moved out of the two spot.

Trayce also stole 2 bases. The Barons were mowed down by one of the Mariners three premier pitching prospects in James Paxton.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) Seriously doubt Kenny will go into next season with Floyd's status up in the air. I'm not sure what you mean. It's a team option. What's up in the air? If he pitches remotely similar to how he has in the past, Kenny will be picking up his option without a second thought.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 6, 2012 -> 04:36 PM) Santiago's definitely one of the top 3 candidates for the rotation next year. We have to replace Peavy and Floyd. Theoretically, at this point: 1) Molina (based on projections) 2) Santiago 3) Stewart OR Axelrod (whichever remains a starter) 4) Simon Castro 5) Doyle 6) Shirek 7) darkhorse candidate who emerges from A ball, probably Petricka or Jefferson Olacio Floyd doesn't need to be replaced unless he's traded. He has a 2013 option.

So very excited for baseball. Pretty bummed I won't be able to watch the game now that I've graduated, have a job and am a semi productive member of society. Anyone know if the game will be rebroadcast later this evening?

Molina's first start: 4.0 IP 5 H 2 ER 0 BB 3 SO

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 07:36 PM) Interesting. I was only familiar with the Rangers SS prospect with the weird name. Profar's uber prospect status has undoubtedly overshadowed Odor's potential. Still need more performance data, but he held his own as a 17 year old in A ball last season.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 06:18 PM) Uh....who the hell is batting 3rd for Hickory? http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...hicafx_kanafx_1 Rainy night in the Carolinas. The Rangers 5th best prospect. He's more than just an awesome name.

Ben Badler ‏ @BenBadler Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Herky jerky lefty who's very, VERY raw. Low-A start is extremely aggressive RT @SportsOnFilm What do you know about Jefferson Olacio (CHW)?

Erik Johnson to remain in extended. Elbow tendinitis. Hopefully he makes a quick and full recovery. Looking forward to following him.

Because it's a rather insignificant signing of a marginal player.

Didn't grasp it was April Fool's day, but the first thing I thought was that Pineda is injured and Danks can't be traded yet. I couldn't wrap my hungover head around it.

No mention of the Alex Gordon extension or did I miss it? He is the third following Perez and Escobar that Dayton has signed this offseason. $37.5MM over four years with a player option for 2016 at $12.5MM. Nice to see the Royals lock up some of their own talent for once.

Man. The Royals could be something special if they get some pitching soon.

77 wins.

Santiago, Jones, and Bruney.
