    Agreed.

    At least he’s healthy for now. Same with Correa. They’ve both been very good when health was not a concern.

    Brandon Bielak is getting absolutely rocked early on. Gave up a 4 run first inning to start off Spring Training.

    Looking at the box score, looks like Straw and Castro went 2 for 2 with Castro having the only rbi for the time being

    Looks like that is about it when its comes to positive takeaways from the game. Bielak was bleak to say the least.

    I wonder when/if the tanks from the other forum make their way here? :rolleyes::eek:

    Actually, Alverez is replacing George's bat. Straw just needs be good enough to get on base sometimes in the 9th spot. I'm not worried about the offense at all other father time catching up with Yuli.

    Straw for Game 1 at leadoff. Correa for Game 2.

    Not on ATTSW.

    Greinke is crazy enough that I could see him only considering NL teams this offseason so that he can hit. Hell if I'm Click I tell him "we'll give you $10M/yr for a 2 year extension but also guarantee you will get at least 20 plate appearances per season."
