FanGraphs gives Peck a hit tool of 30. His 125/41 K/BB ratio is not impressive. He supposedly has power potential.

That was the easy part. Nobody is better than us at killing people and blowing stuff up. Nobody!

Peck is getting a lot of attention this Spring. How good is he supposed to be? I had the impression that he was a future utility guy, but he is not someone to whom I have paid a great deal of attention.

That's because you questioned whether he had made the team or not.

There is no question that men are more dangerous than bears.

Don't let Edman hear you say that.

Is long relief a waste? It can be a valuable role if Hinch wants it to be.

My belief is that he came into spring training with a very good chance of staying with the team. My guess all along has been that he will make the club if he is a better option, in terms of current ability and readiness, than anyone he replaces. I expect him to make the team.

No they aren't robots, but the vast majority of fans don't know enough from a small sample in order to detect whether it's real or just noise. It's fun to guess though.

You got that strait.

The majority of players will be playing multiple position, so Perez playing center field in spring training could just mean that they want him to be ready to play the position when the need arises.

Most people want the same carefulness and thoroughness for all people regardless of what they club they are in.

If Verlander gets shelled in a bunch of starts at the beginning of the season then sure, but arguably the best pitcher in Tigers history is not going to lose his job right out of the gate to a guy with career 44 innings and a 6.50 ERA.

I think the spot belongs to Verlander until he proves he can't do it just like Cabrera.

In place of whom?

Only if the small sample stats are indicative of physical performance. If a pitcher gives a bunch of runs because he was working on a new pitch its different from giving up a bunch of runs because he has lost speed on his fastball.

I realize that, but so far there has not been any real evidence or any real investigation. Don't get me wrong. I think he was involved, but I can't say it definitively.

you need to be patient! We need to fun Trump's war. He knows what he's doing.

I'd rather look at the major league or even high minor league track records. For a young player, I suppose strikeout and walk rates might matter in spring training, if they are different from what we've seen in the past.

He surely knew about them. There is a very good chance that he raped girls, but I don't have enough proof. It's bad enough that he walked around girls dressing rooms and bragged about it. That disqualifies him for me, but I don't know that he raped girls. I'd be more surprised to find out that he didn't than that he did, but until there is a real investigation we'll never know. I doubt that will ever happen. The whole legal system is designed and enforced in a way to protect people like him.

I don't give a crap about spring stats, but there are certainly valid questions to be asked about several of their position players.

I don't know what I was doing wrong, but it usually took me a minute or two to get it working with DTV. It seemed like there was a different process every time. A lot of times, it was just a matter of the satellite not working properly or sharing the tv with elderly people who would fiddle around with the remote and the tv itself, but it was rare that I could just turn it on and start watching. I haven't had a smoth experience with any TV in the last 20 years.

I'm the biggest TV dinosaur here. I remember when you could just press a button and start watching TV. It is so much harder today and I don't know what you guys are talking about half the time. I did get roku/youtube last year. I barely know how to use it, but I don't watch tv enough now to justify the cost of DTV or cable.
