I don't think he'll maintain the BAs in teh high minors

so that risks him being caught as a tweener, a player that can't hit enough to play first or field enough to play third

Also, it seems weird that the son of a major leaguer *isn't* a Blue Jay

Andy

12:35

Which MLB team would benefit the most from possessing a real-life dragon at their spring training facility?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

The Angels because being eaten by a dragon is probably the only thing that will stop them from giving Pujols too much playing time

cool

Bring back DeSpaniel Hair

12:36

Thoughts on Luis Castillo and his awful spring?

Dan Szymborski

12:36

March'

12:37

I mostly care about spring when it comes to players trying new things or comebacks and injuries and the like

Hello

12:37

What would be a reasonable deGrom extension given what we've seen the last few weeks?

Dan Szymborski

12:37

It would be quite rich

I'll probably run something about this during a slow stretch in April

Al Gone Quinn

12:37

Don't knock it. I just turned 59.

Dan Szymborski

12:37

I really like being alive and would like more of it.

12:38

I'm actually quite troubled by eternal oblivion.

I'm agnostic who would dearly like the afterlife stuff to actually be a thing

Hello

12:38

More at fault for the Mets not extending deGrom yet: BVW or Wilpons?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

I'd guess Wilpons more of a problem

cool

1

deGrom's not taking a hometown discount

I don't think

12:39

BVW always looks weird to me because I think of Bach works when I see it

and he's not Bach

Nate

12:39

Tyler Wade and his career 23 wRC+ is whining about being optioned. Can someone inform him of how precious roster spots are?

Dan Szymborski

12:39

OK, he hasn't hit well in limited time in the majors

but I can understand him being really frustrated

12:40

because he did work hard to improve as an outfield option and it looked like he was going to make the roster and then teh Yankees swoop in and get Tauchman a few days before the season starts

12:41

Dude's 24 and saw his career have a setback. It's gotta hurt and most of us don't have our reactions to our career setbacks caught on film

Just to probably say more than I should, about 18 months ago, a promotion at my job was in the works.

12:42

BUt then my employer shifted priorities, I was put on the backburner, and my mentor left the company

I was very down at the time and no doubt said a few expletives out loud. But no reporters were around to cover it

Slurve

12:42

Which outcomes of Spring Training battles most surprised you? Two rooks in Atlanta rotation?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

If Atlanta, I'm surprised they demoted Winkler

12:43

Captain Sisco to the minors surprised me

sad

As did the Marlins giving up on Straily

Not that Straily's good, but they never really cared about that before

Al Gone Quinn

12:43

Can I create a process named Team Related Shenanigans (TRS) and come as popular as Ron Shandler did with LIMA?

Dan Szymborski

12:43

Go for it

zurzles

12:43

you know what would've made the O's opening day roster more interesting? sammy sosa

Dan Szymborski

12:43

If I'm the O's, I'd reach otu to Barry Bonds

12:44

The O's are going to be a horrible team.

Aren't you curious how Barry Bonds would do in 2019?

love
