Really liking Granderson so far. Great interviews as well. Seems like a good guy for the younger players.

Hernandez has excellent power to both fields too. Hopefully he can improve him strikeout rate.

Alford's so quiet. I'm used to all the young guys being gregarious and outspoken, it seems weird to see someone who doesn't look like they enjoy interviews.

As long as he does his talkin' through his bat and glove, I'm all for it .
He does seem a little camera shy.

Not sure what you are refererencing. Was it a post game interview?
He was having a good time when he talked with me today before the game.

Surprised Zych's on release waivers even with shoulder issues. That's an easy buy for me.

in-game on the headset with Buck and Siddall. He came across very camera shy and quiet.

Lance Lynn to Minnesota at 12M for 1 year. Do we like that better than Garcia at 10M for 1 year?

That’s AA.

He was fooled at the plate today -hands were on the wrong side of the seams.

Got to like Lynn better as a pitcher and he likely finishes with better numbers pitching in the AL Central vs the East.

But cant blame the FO. When we signed Garcia Lance Lynn turned 2 years - 20 million from the Twins. So we sign Garcia for 1 year at 10M. Bettet value at the time but now Lynn looks like a better value but not egregious. Garcia looks good in spring training... Lynn still has something to prove as he is a few weeks behind.

I just hope Garcia can stay healthy. I know he has been the last few years, but given his history you never know.

Interestingly he had a better WAR (2.1) than Lynn (1.4) last year despite pitching fewer innings.

Nah, as good as Lynn's sinker is, he's probably one of the most predictable pitchers in baseball and he'd get picked apart pretty easily in the AL East.

Go Jays

 

[ShaneFalco]

Man this team has some exciting young guys
Really intrigued with the bullpen arms too

 

[zeke]

sunday reading: Ichiro's return to Seattle won't resolve the battle raging within him

 

[ShaneFalco]

Reports: Blue Jays release OF Carrera

 

[zeke]

p.s. zeke is officially released

28s
There have been more 90s and 91s on scouts’ radar guns for Shohei Ohtani’s fastball today than 95s. He has allowed six runs in three innings to the Tijuana Toros.

I also read that 14 of 15 scouts that have watched him this spring say his bat isn’t mlb ready and needs at least 6 months of polishing. May just be adjusting though

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

The whole “let’s make Biagini a starter” thing just seems silly.

Alas, Axford-Clippard-Oh probably means they’re going to try to keep doing it. It’s dumb.

Maybe if Garcia stays healthy (and of course performs) they don't?

Because of Garcia’s past, Marco/Happ’s age, and Aaron’s finger, they’re going to do it.

Would really love a Morales for Hammel swap. Would include a B prospect just to make it happen.
