Petzold says that he's on the opening day roster. I'll believe he has re-invvented himself once he proves it in the Majors. The Harris team has had success with relievers in the past though.

The Tigers signed Connor Seabold to a split MLB contract. Lifetime 7.79 ERA and 2 HR per 9 innings. Brieske to the 60-day IL.

LOL, I could smell AI all over that post. I see students trying to do it all the time.

Who is we? I have moved past the idea that he will ever suffer any recriminations, but certainly have not moved byond the idea that he SHOULD face recriminations.

As long as someone is making money off it, it is never going to be enough.

Three years is a long time. I think half of the line-up will be different from what any of us are thinking today.

My reading on Trump's "negotiation" is a little different (although the pump and dump scheme is a legitimate possibility as well). I read the threat as a way to pump up his base and the "negotiation" is an off ramp so he doesn't look cowardly as Iran calls his bluff.

Here are the numbers (games wth 6+ IP / games started): Skubal 23/31 Valdez 22/31 Verlander 12/29 Mize 11/28 Flaherty 9/31

We should see a lot of that this year. He typically works deep into games.

Austin Slater exercises his option. He will look elsewhere.

Good at bat for McGonigle. Singled on the 7th pitch.

Excellent play at third by McGonigle to start the double play.

They still have 43 players in camp. There can't be 17 players on the bubble! Perhaps, they want some players to play in Arizona, so their regulars can be rested prior to opening day.

Adduci could have been selected #1, but they knew that baseball was not his top prority.

He was Bostock's teammate one year.

He was a catcher in the minors and he had some really impressive minor league numbers.

Trivia: Which player was drafted #1 twice and then went on to have negative WAR for his career?

Whitaker needs to go in first though.

Are there any famous radio broadcasters anymore? There are some long-time broadcasters like Brennaman and Hamilton who gained their fame when radio was a more important medium. Then there is Jon Miller whose fame was aided by his time on television. And every Yankee broadcaster is going to be famous even ****ty ones like Sterling. But I think it's really hard for a radio broadcaster of the last 20 years or so to be famous. Dickerson is the best.

Brieske won't be ready for the start of the season, but I don't think he would be going on the 60-day IL yet.

Another player that was nowhere near McGonigle's level as a prospect. I am not one to pump up prospects. I think fans overate their prospects way too much and that the majority of them fail. Some of them have a high probability of succeeding though and McGonogle is one of them.

Everybody knows he is unproven and might disappoint. Not all prospects are the same though. He's not Ryan Kreidler nor Pittaro. Pittaro was never a top prospect. He had a .696 minor league OPS. Sparky Anderson just liked him and decided to pump him up. I think it might have had something to do with Anderson noticing that the championship team was not as motivated as they should have been in Spring training and he wanted to shake things up. Surely he knew that Pittaro was not the next big star.

Slater is (or was) a better hitter, but Sheridan was a better defender. Interestingly, they both had 5 career WAR. The mention of Sheridan's name makes me remember Kubek saying:" Pat Sheridan! Got a good arrrrrrrrrm. Can steal a base." I am not sure why that sticks in my mind.
