Our division is weak and it has been difficult trying to figure out how good we really are. We need to get this thing sorted out in the next three weeks. We can't go into mid May with this many question marks.

Looked like a Slurve.

But Hahn said he was ready because of alternate site stats.

Yep. It's unfair to expect young guys to be great after 50 to 70 games played for their careers. It's going to take time to develop and is why I said probably, which does not mean certainty. Madrigal has played in about 40 games and fans are pissed at him because this season has big expectations. We need Vaughn who hasn't played above A ball to be good right away, even though he's played in a handful of games. Because of our season expectations, we can't afford to be patient with him and give him time to develop.

This team can compete for the division, but playoff success probably isn't happening this year. Half the lineup still has growing to do at the plate, the defense is iffy, and we have no money or much prospect capital. Everything will need to go right and we'd need to be completely healthy to win a series. No room for any type of error.

I think this team is in trouble. There are some serious flaws left over from last year and the schedule gets tough. It's hard to see these guys winning 95 games without 5 players turning it around big time. These guys may need another year of development.

Wait. But Hahn said that Vaughn looked great at the alternate site and had we watched, we'd understand.

This offense is ass.

Can't wait for Vaughn, Robert, Moncada, and Madrigal to figure it out with the bat.

You're not paying 18 million for anything.

Thread about to be another 25 pages after Nick mess up.

He pitched last Thursday.

The catcher also dropped the third strike before Boston scored with 2 outs.

The only team to choke more than us in the 8th and 9th is the Twins. They are choking hard again.

Two straight 9 inning shutouts and a no hitter. Baseball is a hell of a sport.

More like inexperienced. Still hasn't played a half season's worth of games yet.

They do. But people remember it.

Hey now, watch it.

He doesn't need Tommy John surgery.

Hopefully.

If you really want to use it on the Sox, Gio plays Martin Perez this weekend. That's a game this team should cover if they are a legit title contender.

I didn't even add him to my useless cleanup hitter list. Wow I forgot about him.

We ain't the team to use it on right now sadly. In fact baseball is so random right now the only team I'd consider betting on is the Dodgers.

I'd be real worried about using that on this game so early in the season. Both pitchers and bullpen are real good and both offenses have been struggling.

Yeah no need to move Eaton while he is hot. If Moncada continues to struggle switch him with Yas.
