Any under the radar good prospect names, maybe 65-70+?

All of ASU baseball: http://thesundevils.com/roster.aspx?roster=162&path=baseball

Not Finnigan

4:04

I don’t think expansion is a good idea, but I so desperately want to see an expansion draft. How fun would that be to cover and analyze?

Jay Jaffe

4:04

If you're judging a guy by his opening day at-bats, looking for clues of development, it's gonna be a very long season

Travis Sawchik

4:04

It would be awesome

Expansion draft that is

Mickey L

4:04

Mookie off to a poor start. Time to panic?

Travis Sawchik

4:04

And baseball needs to expand for a variety or reasons, including scheduling

Erik

4:05

Does a flyout to Bregman in LF get scored as F5? Or has someone come up with a way of handling crazy shifts in the scorebook?

Eric A Longenhagen

4:05

LOL, wait until you see the DRS numbers after a few weeks. Brett Lawrie all over again.

Jay Jaffe

4:05

PANIC NOW, DON'T WAIT UNTIL APRIL

Dave

4:05

Lester has 2 WS rings. How many does Kershaw have?

Jay Jaffe

4:06

Kershaw has 3 Cys, and multiple Cys correlates better to Hall of Fame election than multiple championships.

jonathan swift

4:06

what are the odds panda wrests control of 3B back from Longoria? I hear he's in the best shape of his life.

Jay Jaffe

4:07

about the same as the odds of a cartoon panda becoming the governor of California. Could happen, really.

Scott

4:09

Could either the Phillies or Braves be a .500 team?

Jay Jaffe

4:11

Sure. We have the Phils projected for 76 wins. A few leaps forward gets them to 81. Remember, the average error on such projections on an annual basis is about 6-7 wins. The Braves, with a 72-win projection, need a lot more to go right to get there, but it's within the realm of possibility

Bob Dobalina

4:11

Plawecki 4 for 5 today. Top 100 guy once upon a time, any chance he takes his righty platoon role and runs away with the job? d'Arnaud just can't seem to stay on the field long enough to solidify himself as an everyday player

Eric A Longenhagen

4:11

I dig Plawecki but think if anyone runs with the job after a d'Arnaud injury, it'll be Nido.

Travis Sawchik

4:11

NL East gonna be really interesting in the not too distant future

Maybe this year

JUDGE ALERT

Jay Jaffe

4:13

Judge struck out. Hurry up and panic, folks!

4:13

Best part of JUDGE ALERTs is that they're now JUDGE-STANTON-GARY ALERT

Jay Jaffe

4:13

Indeed.

Gone, Stanton

Travis Sawchik

4:14

Oh my

Hey, little secret: I think the Yankees are going to break the team HR record

Charles

4:14

Correa have an 80 arm? The velocity on that last throw was >>>

Eric A Longenhagen

4:14

Yes

Jay Jaffe

4:14

I've got a piece on that in the pipeline, Travis

Travis Sawchik

4:14

!!!

Jay Jaffe

4:14

Because multiple radio hosts have asked me about it

Travis Sawchik

4:15

1997 Mariners have the record ... 260-something?

Jay Jaffe

4:15

264 IIRC

Travis Sawchik

4:15

Stanton should be compelled to use whole field in Yankee II

Gonna be something

Eric A Longenhagen

4:15

Verlander is through two unscathed. Sitting 94-96 t97.

Jay

4:16

Joey Lucchesi starts tomorrow! Any predictions, Eric?

Eric A Longenhagen

4:16

You're hired!
