Yeah and you want to perserve your arms as much as you can, an extra arm would take some of the workload off everyone.
And not a single one is a long-relievee that we kept.
You know who would look good in the 2-spot against righties? Loney at league minimum and his .341 OBP last year. I get most people want another big bat, but he's available soon for league minimum and this team could still use an on-base type of player anyway.

how are they supposed to be pronounced? better tell Farmio and DJ too.
Lawrie is pronounced like the name "Laurie."

So who are you blaming, and who needs to be fired now?
I say the players just aren't good base stealers. Eaton anyway.

Sale wasn't awful yesterday. Could've been better, but not terrible.
With last year's offense, last night's game is a 3-2, 3-1 loss. So much better when you can actually score 4 runs haha

Meh...I dont miss getting rid of Jim Thome. I do miss Ozzie getting pissed at questions about how wrong he was to make that decision.
Well compared to what we've been trotting out anyway.

Nope, just complaining about our 2015 outfield defense
But it was the best defensive outfield in baseball.
I won't be able to watch the full game but if this was a 1/2/3 o clock start I wouldn't see any of it so I prefer this. Also like them in this weather as opposed to s*** out here and east.

In a winter of crazy contracts, this one might have been one of the worst.
People on this site wanted to give him 2/$16 million lol
Avila 8th would break up the righties at the end and Jackson 9th breaks up the lefties (Avila, Eaton, Rollins. Yes yes I know that Rollins is a switch hitter).

Charlotte has a very formidable rotation.
1.) Erik Johnson
2.) Miguel Gonzalez
3.) Jacob Turner
4.) Chris Beck
5.) Scott Carroll
Fulmer potentially joining too. Looks like some rotations in the NL.
Imagine if someone's rotation actually looked like that lol 50-112 wouldn't be unrealistic.

Did another community mock on Reddit today, the results are going to be posted soon.
What's a community mock?
I guess he turned down a minor league deal with Baltimore but declined because he has a better opportunity in Chicago. With that being said, I bet Latos is on a very short leash.

Rays are supposedly releasing Loney and eating 8 mil.

Nice. I'd take him over Sands at league minimum.

I did pick the Giants to win the division. LA in the Play-In Game.
Oh sorry only saw last post. Good call.
I also should have said good enough to compete but falling short in the division.
QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2016 -> 10:24 AM)
I'll change D-backs to Dodgers because of Pollock.
To be honest, I don't think the Dodgers look that good in my opinion. I pick Giants.
