Clearly contract wise - but I just meant health wise - as in recurring trips to DL. Zimm is the poster child for how to end a career with cervical vertebrae issues. Quote

Reason why Ohtani only signed for 2.3 million is that he was too young to sign as a free agent, and had to go through the international signing process. Yamamoto is of age, but is a unicorn because he's so young and polished and talented. Close. Quote
Tenacious D Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 Projected roster (at this point in the offseason)? Skubal Maeda Mize Flaherty Manning Faedo Wentz Brieske Holton Miller Chafin Foley Lange Rogers Kelly Torkelson Keith Maton Baez Vierling Greene Meadows Carpenter Canha McKinstry 26th man: Malloy, Ibanez or Kreidler?

Tenacious D Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 If Olson isn’t in the rotation, I think he’s in Toledo. Quote

SoCalTiger Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 The 26 is getting a bit competitive so we must be improving. Nice of season so far Mr. Harris. Still no trades..... Quote

It could easily be Mize at Toledo to start the season. But it will almost certainly resolve itself - someone will be hurt or won't get anyone out in ST. 1 1 Quote
gehringer_2 Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) I will take a guess based on the signing of three additional relievers that we can expect to see Skubal/Mize/Manning/Olsen et al treated with kid gloves - meaning lots of short starts no matter who makes the rotation.

Dan Gilmore Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) From that first list I would add Ibanez replacing Maton. The pitching will sort itself out, as mentioned, and Olson would be the likely replacement for any injury (or for better performance). Edited December 23, 2023 by Dan Gilmore Quote

There’s another one used like that around here, I forget which one I think BP is primarily Batting Practice. But it is used for both. But batting practice is about a 0 in my head, I never really think about it... The Bullpen... quite often. So I always think of BP = Bullpen even though there's not much out there that supports that. Here's a couple of links though: https://www.acronymfinder.com/Bullpen-(baseball)-(BP).html Bullpen Tournaments BP Tournament Logo https://bullpentournaments.com › Home Home · Baseball · 2023 Tournaments · Baseball Rules · Divisions · Rosters ... Bullpen · Grand Park · Grand Park Campus Map · Park Rules · Directions · Parking I think we had this discussion on here before... including Casimir's "Arm Barn" suggestion... Or maybe that was on the old site...? Quote

I think it's Olson that makes the roster and Mize that starts out in Toledo... with kid gloves on him... I think there's also a non-zero possibility that there are 6 starters on the Opening Day roster, but a 5-man rotation. I like the idea of Manning and Mize co-starting games. Manning pitches 5 inn's, Mize 4. Next start: Mize pitches 5, Manning 4. And so on and so on... Quote
Jim Cowan Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 Seeing BP used for "bullpen" makes me cringe. It means "batting practice". Period. 2 Quote
1984Echoes Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 Except when it also means Bullpen. Quote
1984Echoes Posted December 23, 2023 Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Per the Acronym Finder. And the Bullpen (BP) Tournament... And... a lazy typist like me... Edited December 23, 2023 by 1984Echoes Quote

Splitting starts for guys on innings limits makes so much sense you know it must rub old school baseball people the wrong way.... One of the beat writers, don't remember which - wrote this week that the Tigers say there will be no 6 man rotations. Of course given the quality of the sports reporting in town that may be worthless in general, plus it's also possible that even if management did tell him that, a 5 day rotation with a split start every 5th day may or may not be management's definition of a 6 man rotation.
