that would help us towards the #1 pick. The guy is probably in awful shape too having been out of the game since 2004 and being 42 years old now.

 

I was just curious to see what he's up to nowadays. This was the latest entry I saw for Billy Koch http://www.walkoffwalk.com/2009/07/billy-k...bor-settle.html

 

Yes, he would help the Sox get that #1 pick very easily.

Truth being told, bringing Danks back wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Let him suck up innings and teach some of these kids how to act like a big leaguer. I know his career took a big downward turn after the shoulder surgery, but he was the consummate professional. He took his turn every five days, he took ownership of his body of work, he didn't try to blame someone else for his downfall, and he never caused any problems while he was here.

Sonny Gray had an MRI at two-week checkup yesterday, given green light to begin throwing program. He'll throw from 75 feet today.

 

RIP Dallas Green. Made a huge impact on baseball in the 80s.

This isn't MLB related but after I worked out, I watched a little bit of the Florida LSU game at my health club. In the 2nd inning the LSU pitcher hit 2 guys. The announcer made a big deal about it because he had hit 1 all season. The the color man Kyle Peterson gave some good insight. He said they both occurred on pitches inside. Tim McCarver would be beaming.

RIP Todd Frohwirth

 

When Chris Berman was a thing, his nickname was "Which arm does Todd Frohwirth".

The #Nats release veteran relievers Joe Nathan and Matt Albers. Nathan, 42, had a solid spring but simply no room in pen

The #RedSox have optioned Blake Swihart to Triple-A Pawtucket. The 2 catchers are Sandy Leon and Christian Vazquez-both out of options.

Ryan Raburn is available

I feel bad for Gary Sanchez. Everything I watch and read have so many thinking he's a hybrid of Bench, Rodriquez, Piazza. He can't live up to that hype, and he won't be able to live up to last year's numbers.

Hopefully he gets the help he needs and no one gets hurt, but the irony of a guy named Familia getting suspended for domestic violence doesn't escape me.

Interesting to see Christian Bethancourt make a roster as a catcher/reliever.

 

I think there's really something to carrying a 3rd catcher option, especially in the NL. But this will be even more fun.

ESPN just said that MLB is calculating velocity differently this season, and to expect an uptick in velocity readings because of this.
