Sports_Freak Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Total runs is a tiebreaker for winning the grapefruit league title. And winning the Grapefruit title is a tiebreaker for the playoffs. Or...I'm full of crap and win and losses in spring training are meaningless. Take your pick...😆 Quote

They need the best 40 man roster they can get. The decisions are going to keep getting tougher for Harris. Expand RH hitters have an advantage on making this team. Meadows will be in there opening day, he'll be fine. Vierling? I don't know, TJ surgery for him? It's usually how it goes, they rest a player for a month and then realize he needs season ending surgery. Worst case scenario... Quote

Expand You don't get TJ for shoulder injuries. It's a rotator cuff injury, and they usually don't do surgery for it unless it's torn by more than 50 percent. Quote

Arlington Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Might be a good bonding day for the players. Seems like there are always golf or fishing stories coming from the day off. Quote
