    To keep him fresh for all the season what you're seeing in spring training is a preview of the year. We aren't going to put him in the field or at bat but we are going to have him in batting practice everyday so he can entertain those who come to the game early.

    I expect him to do really well. Both with the bat and in the field. Has he settles and he's going to be hard to move and despite our love of versatility I know what we did to Sano.

    If healthy I take Ober - then it is between Winder or Richardson.

    I have seen Polanco as a trade candidate for the last year. We missed the opportunity to sell high. 2B does get more important without the shift and if we have ground ball pitchers. Otherwise 2B seems to be where we push players without position or fielding greatness.

    Our weakest position is the BP. Then if Gallo does not bounce back and Kiriloff is hurt then two areas - 1B and OF because major areas of concern. I know you list RF and LF separate, but I just lump them together.
  26. mikelink45
    More ST wishes - what matters to me is the fact they still have a manager named Francona - don't sell them short. In the last 10 years they were under 500 once - 494. Seven times they were over 550. Our job is not to wish for Cleveland to go backward. It is our job to be better. But dreaming is allowed this time of year.
  27. mikelink45
    I worry and hope with Kiriloff, but wonder why Wallner is not an option here too? My one comment on defense at 1B - it is the position that is involved in more action than any position except catcher and we should give it more defensive consideration.
  28. mikelink45
    I really like him and feel he has gotten some unjust criticism. I hope he comes back healthy and is back on the roster next year.
  29. mikelink45
    If we were rating MN disappointments - Jeffers would be high. His rookie years showed so much promise, but his diminishing numbers don't show a player who is progressing. And the next depth wave looks pretty meager.
  30. mikelink45
    Good reflection - hard to add anything to what you wrote - they are such a disappointment that figuring out how to fix them is almost impossible. But they definitely showed that adding a FA to a bad team does not make a better team - it just might make a worse FA.
  31. mikelink45
    What a fun fantasy - this is what spring training is all about - dreams and hopes
  32. mikelink45
    I like Miranda a lot -but Machado - the pressure is on. ST is so full of optimism - I think we will be 162 - 0 this year!
  33. mikelink45
    Wow - the ACE card has come up again. No there are not 24 Aces out there if we go by the definitions that seem to float around that this is the guy you want to start and end a WS. I will take 5 really good pitchers, and an outstanding BP. The age of 100 MPH means that arms disintegrate - not worth a lot of prospects. We have enough articles about how good this SP depth is. Let's test it.
  34. mikelink45
    I was not happy with Molitor being replaced, but it is not Baldelli's fault. I am not happy with his by the book approach, but it reflects the FO and all the coaches that have been brought in so I am not sure what I should be using to judge him.
  35. mikelink45
    When I see Pagan replaced by a quality pitcher I will have more faith. I just cannot fathom what the eventual lineup will be at this point. We do need Miranda.
