No I'm here, just looked at a story in paper. Redmound's lineup could be something like this.

1 Pierre
2 Polanco
3 Stanton

4 could be Morrison when he heals. There are others with a fair bat can't remember names don't feel like looking them up. Story states Stanton showed up early in good spirit and gave kudos to rookie pitcher Jose Fernandez (from Jays?) and he will have a chance to pitch.

Even though Bourn is one of the more ridiculously overrated players in the league, it's nice to see the Cleveland fans have some tiny glimmer of hope. It'll also be amusing when the gods of sport find a new way to pull the rug out from under them.

Well, if anything, he will lead the league in duration of time a start takes. Pitching is their weak link. Jimenez has not been what he was with the Rockies. I like their potential line up, but their pitching is awful. I suspect a 3rd place finish at best.

I love they are relevant again, but far from a true favorite to me right now. In this age of MLB, one big injury could all but change the face of a team in seconds and they have soooo many new faces on the field and in the dugout coaching there are too many variables to make them a fav so early.

In a way not surprising since the Marlins have a history of building teams then selling their players off. I think that was the main reason why Pujols didnt sign with them even though their offer was more than what the Angels gave him. There wasn't a no trade clause.

On MLB a couple of weeks ago they were talking about it and they said that it could happen and have more close rivalries like Dodgers and Angels, Cubs White Sox etc.


If that were to happen MLB would probably want all fields basically the same for example every stadiums deep center would be 400 ft. That's what I like about baseball each stadium has its own unique features / distances. Some are better suited for hitters some for pitchers

Which is why I want them to take a wrecking ball to Fenway. The place is awful for lefty pitchers and great for right-handed power hitters. I love Fenway for a lot of reasons but tear the fucking place down and make a park comparable to the rest of the league.

He had a horrendous postseason last year. It was a slump. It happens. He hit like .350 and 4or5 hrs against Texas in 2010, .320 and 2hrs in 5 games against Detroit in 2011.

It's not just the bad 2012 October numbers, i just hope they won't make the same mistake they did with A Rod and offer him a 10 year deal especially after his age 31 season. He hired Boras so he could ask for that. A 5 or 6 year extension, wouldn't be that bad , but the Yankees have to figure out how to get under 189 million so they avoid the luxury tax. That's something the top brass has been discussing

Thats when the all star game is and people actually watch the all star game, so it isn't possible.


The WBC cannot be both good and tied to MLB, because no one in MLB really gives a shit especially during spring training when they're just coming back and not warmed up.

I'm the same way, I was ready to watch baseball but you see a lot of half assing and it doesn't keep you excited.

Maybe if they moved it to October or November they'd have better luck, guys would be in better shape and minor injuries wouldn't be as big of a deal because you have all winter after, instead of missing the first few weeks of the season.

Vernon Wells. Oh Baby.

World Series, here we come

Would be upgrade for MarLols their top # 2 and 3 prospects are hurt. The top one has one arm think he is OK

Wainwright to get 5 year extension with Card's at 97.5 Million

Happ to take the #5 spot from Romero after STRONG spring and Romero sent down to trip A

Happ also signs very team friendly extension for 2 years

guy worked his balls off and I'm stoked for him and hope he continues to show some good stuff from a needed lefty

romero to change his mechanics just like Halladay way back when in AAA

one could only hope for a similar effect for Romero

That's nice, but ESPN being late to the party doesn't change the fact that signing and contract details were all over TV and the web before noon yesterday.

Eh, it'll take a while for me to get used to the 'Stros in the AL. Before we had the Rays when I was a kid I would visit family in Houston and Toronto every Summer. I would spend two weeks or so going to games in each city and not having a hometown allegiance I adopted the Astros as my NL team and the Jays as my AL team. Obviously I dropped the Jays as soon as the Devil Rays came to town, but I always had a soft spot in my heart for my old NL love. The first non spring training game I remember going to was an Astros/Dodgers matchup in the old Astrodome when I was three. I actually loved that hideous building. Still do.

Also, I refuse to recognize the official opening of the season until the Reds throw their first pitch.
