IdahoBert Posted Friday at 10:59 PM Posted Friday at 10:59 PM That first round pick for the Reds Chase Burns carved up the top of our order at the Whitecaps game throwing 102 mph the announcers said. Quote

Sitting at 1.323 OPS WM wins its opener 7-0. McG 2/4 2 doubles. Clark 1/2 3BB. Edited Saturday at 02:55 AM by gehringer_2 2 Quote
Tigermojo Posted Saturday at 07:39 PM Posted Saturday at 07:39 PM Erie crushing it. West Michigan combined no hitter in progress. Rainer is not in the lineup for Lakeland. Quote
IdahoBert Posted Saturday at 07:39 PM Posted Saturday at 07:39 PM I couldn’t find any statistics for that Reds phenom first round draft choice Burns. I wonder if they just had him doing training or simulated games. He looked pretty good last night against the white caps for four innings. Quote
Edman85 Posted Saturday at 07:53 PM Posted Saturday at 07:53 PM Gonna go on a limb and guess Jace Jung is "ready" around May 25 or so when his service time is fully manipulated. Quote

Expand I believe he would have made the team had he shown that he was physical ready in the spring. That's not to say that he can't be both physicaly and manipulation ready in May. It would be hard for him to be worse than what they've been running out there at third so far. Edited Saturday at 08:06 PM by Tiger337 Quote

Expand Positive WAR at the position so far, fwiw. McKinstry isn't off to an awful start, and Ibanez made some plays today that aren't factored in yet. They are getting by. Quote

gehringer_2 Posted Sunday at 02:46 AM Author Posted Sunday at 02:46 AM Clark with a hit and 3 more walks tonight. Quote

I still think McKinstry gets a bad wrap in these parts. Expand McKinstry is OK but he plays too much. I was really hoping for Bregman and I believe they made a very serious bid to get him. They have a good shot at the division title this year and next. When I look at their rotation and see Torkelson perhaps finally breaking out, I think about how good they'd be with Bregman and a healthy Meadows. Quote
Tenacious D Posted Sunday at 12:19 PM Posted Sunday at 12:19 PM I don’t miss Bregman, and never really wanted him. I’m good with a Jung/Vierling platoon at some point this season. McKinstry and Ibanez are just holding it down for now. Quote

Hardly anyone here wanted Bregman, but I think Harris wanted him. Quote
Edman85 Posted Sunday at 01:11 PM Posted Sunday at 01:11 PM I wanted Bregman, but am okay not going overboard and retaining the draft pick. I also think McGonigle is knocking down the door for this spot later this year. Quote
