Making professionals do their jobs while they are at work seems like a pretty solid idea to me.

what time do they typically get to the ball park? they seem to get there really early relative to 1st pitch. If the curfew is 11Am for a 1PM first pitch that is more than fine,

Good for Trout, and if i were him i would gladly take 430M to live in LA but the Angels wont be doing any winning for at least the next 3 season, maybe 5. Such a waste of his prime.

He is easily worth that contract. Now if only the Angels could get their heads out of their asses so we don't have to look back at one of the best players of all time being saddled by an incompetent management group that couldn't get him to the playoffs lol

Pretty much everything there was entirely expected. I'm just kind of curious what's going to happen with Pompey/Teoscar now.

I don't think there's much debate between the two. I think they're waiting for someone to offer something for Dalton, and are looking to continue showcasing him.

I don't know... I think if it comes down to it they'll option Teoscar and give Pompey a chance until someone is moves out or injured.

That looks about right if they have a 7-man pen, but that's only possible if they make sure a couple pen spots go to guys with options. Otherwise only one of Teoscar/Pompey will make it.

I can't imagine they find a spot for another 1B/DH without moving one of the others out first.

I still think Teoscar starts ahead of McKinney.

McKinney also has been taking a lot of reps at 1B lately. So to me it would mean that Telez starts at AAA.

Wow. The only way I could see that is if Teoscar's defense in the spring was as wretched as it was at certain points in 2018 (i.e. he came in showing no improvements, was dragging ass, or whathaveyou).

I understand the asset management side of it, but that's a tough sell for a young player with a .977 OPS to have two (Pompey and McKinney) arguably lesser players (at least in terms of MLB production to date) promoted ahead of him.

Much better defensively than last year.
