The Roster

<t>I have never understood the decision to add Choi through a trade, particularly for a club that counts both nickles and pennies when it comes to constructing a roster. While I am not enamored with the signing of Santana, I prefer him to Choi and he should get the majority of LH reps at first. Choi...

Edwin Diaz hurt during WBC celebration

<t>I loved the on-field enthusiasm the players exhibited in the game between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. I also liked that Puerto Rico won. Mexico beating the USA also was choice.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Diaz's injury is really unfortunate. The only one who is going to benefit is the insu...

The Roster

<t>Disappointing to hear, but expected. Owings will get at least 2 starts per week to ensure that players like Hayes and Reynolds remain fresh. It will particularly be sad if he claims a spot over Bae. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> VanMeter is gone in name only; there will always be an incarnation of him ...

Where's the chatter?

<t>First, it's hard to get excited about the won - loss record at this point in spring training when all teams are cycling an endless line of players through most games. I don't follow the Twins at all, but in the 9th inning of yesterday's game the 3 players that batted spent all of last year in eit...

Today's Spring Training Game

<t>Yesterday, a starting line-up that likely is similar to what we will see on opening day. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Today, not one regular, and only 1 position player (Joe) who is likely to head north with the team on opening day. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> On the pitching end, Ortiz threw 2 scoreless ...

Official ST Game Thread - Phillies @ Bucs

Late rally but the Bucs fall to the Phils, 9-7.



At least both teams had enough pitchers and players to complete a 9 inning game. Hayes also had a HR.

Official ST Game Thread - Phillies @ Bucs

Second spring game of the year, and with the exception of Vilade, this could be the starting line-up on opening day.

The Departed

Good to see that Ben Gamel likely will be landing a minor league deal with the Rays.



Gamel was not the best of hitters or defenders, but he appeared to give it all that he had.

Bryan Reynolds

<t>Salaries continue to explode. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Reynolds is a professional baseball player who was ranked among the top 6 - 8 center fielders in the recent MLB Top Ten Players by position. He wants to be paid what he is worth.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> It appears that he doesn't want to be pus...
