    Hopefully the new trainers can limit all the soft tissue injuries this season. I still worry about Alcala and Maeda, whether they'll be the same pitchers again. One has to also consider Alcala's mental outlook. If he's not confident in the elbow he won't pitch as well. When he's confident you can see it in his face and he is definitely dangerous when he is.

    Underrated? Not by true fans. Underpaid? Sadly yes.

    I still see his season as three parts. Pre-covid Covid Post-covid The covid part includes the first month or two that he came back. That was his crappy part.
  25. The Mad King
    Great take
  26. The Mad King
    It would be nice to get as excited about Martin as we were when we got him in return for Berrios. Julien needs a position. I think we'll see Lee earlier than September if they don't stay healthier than last season. Let's hope the new trainer is the real upgrade this season.
  27. The Mad King
    Honestly? I thought trading Berrios in 2021 was waving the white flag. If you're not going to keep your own home grown talent then you're just in a cycle of constant rebuilding. Might as well deal Maeda first. There's no guarantee he'll ever be 2020 Kenta again. Gray sands Mahle keep until the deadline. Obviously Joe Ryan will only be here until he hits free agency in a few years...

    Eternal hope. Did anyone pick Cleveland last year? Maybe the team is suddenly healthy and the starting rotation all pitch to their potential. Ryan learns change up to compliment his fastball and becomes unhittable. Maybe the bullpen won't blow games. Miranda and Polanco turn into defensive wizards and the bats pop. Whatchamacallit holds down short and Lewis comes back a month earlier than expected, as good as new. And maybe Buxton stays healthy.... I'll just leave the rose colored glasses here while I go buy lottery tickets...
  29. The Mad King
    So now the team is being run by Stand-Pat Gillick...

    I've been saying "Jeffers is gonna be an all star" for a couple years now. So obviously my expertise is limited to how much food I can ingest while WATCHING the games...

    Baddoo was a short term hurt. He had a decent rookie campaign (and played very good against the Twins) during a season we used 7 center fielders. No, he wasn't supposed to play in Minnesota that year but he would have been one of those 7 had her not been chosen. His regression last year and Celestino's improved first half made it hurt less. We'll have to see how his career shakes out. For me, too early to tell.
  32. The Mad King
    Scenario A is, to me, what's going on here. I think it also signals the end of Gordon as an infielder. Until injuries make that a need.
  33. The Mad King
    Back to card sorting season. Here's an '81 Carew
  34. The Mad King
    Can he actually play defense?
  35. The Mad King
    I'm good with Jeffers. And a sidekick. Bigger bases. More steals. I'm failing to see the logic that being 3"closer together means more stolen bases. It also means 3" less the catchers need to throw. It evens out.
