I wish the Rays catchers were that garbage offensively.
But I like watching Jose Molina catch. Makes umpires look like total jokes behind the plate.

I liked the pickup of Hanigan. He is a nice player. But yeah I love the fangraphs gifs of Molina framing.
btw. Lobaton to the south side has been rumoured heavily and he sure would be a nice upgrade offensively.
1st half: .276/.319/.473, .342 wOBA/116 wRC+
2nd half: .286/.363/.433, .349 wOBA/120 wRC+
His power did fall of in the 2nd half.

D' Arnaud shows a nice knack for framing already. Can't wait to see a full year.

Marco Gonzales isn't projected to be a top arm but is expected to move quickly and will probably slot comfortably at the backend of the rotation. Between Miller/Wacha/Martinez/Lynn/Kelly/Garcia, we should be fine as long as there isn't an epidemic of injuries or suckiness. There's also Lyons/Gast/whoknowswhoelse as potential stopgaps. Maybe Maness doing his best Brad Thompson impression if all the wheels fall off?

Said might be best hit tool he's ever seen.

Sure hope he's recovered from his ankle injury. Anxious to see if he's defensively passable in CF.
Passable is good enough to unseat Jay.
Isn't that what Bourjos is for?

I think the Cards see Bourjous playing Jay out of a spot in CF. What would had been real intriguing is if Taveras never had the ankle injury, and how that would have factored into the slotting of Craig in RF and Adams at 1B.

That's what I'm hoping for but I don't know what Jay could realistically fetch in a trade.
If Oscar hits like a 70 or 80 with okay defense in CF, Bourjos becomes the 4th OFer. Not too optimistic about Bourjos' bat since wrist injuries tend to mess hitters up for a while. If everybody is hitting, it's a good problem to have.
Bourjos/Tavares is a lot more attractive of a platoon than Jay. But yes OT is going to have to be pretty amazing to break out this season just because he's blocked three different ways.
Personally I want him to spend the first three months in the minors so I can see him face off against my local AAA team in late May. I got robbed last year with his ankle sprain and of course Wacha pitched the game I had to miss.

RF Craig

Ellis and Wong will both have to prove themselves in ST much the same as Jay and Bourjos will. Otherwise yes. Looks good to me.

Jay/Bourjos is likely more of an open competition than Wong/Ellis is likely to be. Mozeliak has emphasized that 2B is Kolten's job to lose and Ellis appears to understand he's slotted for a backup role.

I didn't realize we're only 6 weeks away from opening day. My favorite and least favorite day of the year. Because if you lose that first game everybody seems to be ready to hit that panic button.
Time really flies...

Scratch all of this bullshit. If the organization thinks KRod makes the team better, then this club is fucking dogshitgawdawful. 55 wins.

At least your excitement almost made it to ST. Signing Bryd was the highlight of my offseason.
He wasn't going to win. The Yankee's just saved themselves a whole heel of cash. I wonder if he shows up to Florida or has the sense to stay home.
Poor guy.
Such a disappointment. I would've liked to know just how much Bosch's testimony cost MLB.

A-Rod is going to show to Yankees camp in disguise with a fake identity.
Yankees need a 3B, he needs some money, works out for everybody.

Mysterious Cuban defector Alex Sandcastle to play 3B for the Yankees.
He will pull a Bobby Valentine, nobody suspects a man in a mustache.
Alexys Hodriguez.
Not quite Tanaka. You have to ask if Arroyo is even really an upgrade over their internal options.

He's a nice guy to have but he's not the difference maker they were aiming for.

Whose signing Santana or Jimenez at this point in the game?

I really thought that the Phils would sign another pitcher but Ruben was on the radio today and he said that the roster is set and they wont be making any more moves.
Looks like I wasn't the only one to do that lol
