April 1, 201412 yr Matt Spiegel just said that he has a type of cancer that weakens his bones, he didnt come out and call it bone cancer but said that it pretty much caused this. Which makes me wonder, wtf are the angels doing sending him out there to do that

Not sure.
April 1, 201412 yr Author Bryan Hoch @BryanHoch 1h Yankees have no players in the same defensive position from the '13 Opening Day lineup. Last time that happened: 1946-47.

April 1, 201412 yr Watching Sabatthia get lit up by the Astros. McCann looks like he just started catching today.
April 2, 201412 yr At least the Sox aren't the only team trying something different at #3 in the batting order. Altuve batted third for houston.

It's not about trying something different, combined they lost 200+ games last season. It's a lack of talent, not something to be too proud of.

It's a lack of talent, not something to be too proud of. Or mostly the fact that they want to start Davidson's arbitration clock later. It does point out the fact that we're one left-handed hitter behind where Ventura would ideally like to be...DeAza hitting 3rd would probably be more "imposing" but surely Robin thinks that Conor will get better pitches to hit and that Alejandro's more comfortable out of the top 3 positions in the batting order. Most teams don't have guys hitting out of the 7 hole that can homer twice in a game, either.

April 2, 201412 yr Author MLB Stat of the Day @MLBStatoftheDay 12m Derek Jeter has now reached base safely 4,529 times, which is the 16th highest total in @MLB history.
April 2, 201412 yr Author Marc Topkin @TBTimes_Rays 1h #Rays deal with Archer similar to what they did with Moore after '11 season, 8 years (w/options) for around $40M With options, #Rays deal with Archer would cover 8 years and be worth $45.5 million. Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 2h Chris Archer's $25.5M guarantee depends on arbitration class. If he's a Super 2 -- very likely -- he'd get the full $25.5M. If not, less.
