    Dusty says that’s his catcher that’s going to play 140 games.

    Preston Wilson. He was a 4th or 5th option for jersey #4.

    Springer was easily first.

    Agree that Springer is first option.

    Biggio would have been a nice obscure one.

    #3 should be Phil Garner, though Tucker or Pena would be acceptable.

    #2 and #1 are slam dunks. Bregman and Carlos.

    Imagine if we didn't have a first baseman with an OPS+ of FOUR play 35 games...

    He put up -1.7 war in 120 PA. If he had played a full 160 games, he could have possibly challenged a -10 war season. Would have made him overpaid by like 100 mil this season lol

    The mother****er slides into bases like a blind rhino on meth...I'm shocked it's taken him this long to get hurt doing it.

    Any replays of the actual slide?

    eta: just saw the play, that's the most normal slide he's ever made in his career

    Imagine if the team ERA in March/April wasn't 5.01 over 29 games
