notes from twitter, via Atkins:
- still says he thinks he can sign Donaldson
- says adding relief pitching is very likely still
- says backup catching might be something to look at but not urgent.
Rosscup and Uehara sounds good to me
I wonder who plays in more games this year, Tulo or Travis?
Would be hilarious if they both played 125+.
Tulo had surgery to remove bone spurs in the off season which caused a setback in mobility. As long as he is getting his reps in the field and at bats I'm not worried. All the nay sayers will be eating their words come a month into the season when Tulo is contributing like we expect him to. He will be fine.
Seems reasonable enough. If they really wanted to, they could operate their catchers like the Cardinals are going to this year (with Carson Kelly) with either Jansen or McGuire.
Or perhaps, based on his history here, maybe you'll be eating yours?
Maile isn't good, but I have no problem with them starting the season with Maile as the backup. He'll play once a week or so for the first month or two, and if there's an injury Jansen or McGuire come up and handle the majority of the catching duty anyway. It's always easiest to improve on the worst players on the roster, but... meh. If there's an obvious upgrade available, go for it, but I don't think backup catcher is a big concern for this team at all.
I like Oh too. Fits our ex-Cardinal mould too.
And Rosscup is a new Leone with his stupid sexy whiff rate.
Edit: FG is telling me he's an FA but everywhere else still suggest he's on the Rockies. Either way he could be a cool buy low.
Who Oh or Ross? Because im seeing that they are both free agents.
Wow the worst team in each league will be from Florida. Sad baseball teams.
Feels like you could just terminate both organizations and nobody would bat an eye. The rays are basically the Coyotes of baseball at this point and should just be moved.Wow the worst team in each league will be from Florida. Sad baseball teams.
This team is in tough chasing down the Angels and Twins for the second WC spot, everything has to go right.
