^ Escobar is exceptional defensively and when he's hot he's a killer on offense. Its unfortunate he's so streaky.

Escobar has been terrible defensively the last few years. Eye test and metrics agree.
I guess it is a good thing that we have plus defensive players at C/SS/CF/RF and at least average in LF/2B - so, it leaves our corner Inf that may be below average.
But, I can live with a below average 1B that rakes .270 40+ 120+ and a 3B if we can get at least .250 25 /80 out of the position.

Not sure how long that will keep him out but maybe Peterson starts in the rotation then.
not sure how that can be less than 60 days. That sucks- but also why having a guy like Peterson is so important.
I am going to say that either...he had some sort of minor thing going on from something else or- damn- if you break down what a body is doing at throwing a ball 90+ MPH- anything can break at any time...lol
We all seem to forget at times when we twist an ankle walking down the street, what these guys are actually doing.
We have an old starting rotation. It's very unlikely that it won't be an issue this year. It's more likely a matter of how much of an issue.
Agree,so here's hoping a mid season trade brings an established arm or a couple minor league flamethrowers get a shot.
Brooks Raley left the USA WBC team because of injury. Not sure what it is so something to monitor. We seem to have a lot better bullpen depth this year. I think Bryce Montes de Oca or BMDO has his breakout this year.
BMDO had walked 65 guys in 85 innings in the last two years in the minors. That’s not in the deep past. Those are his recent stats, and they’re horrific. He’ll need an immediate sea change in his control to be a viable steady contributor in the majors.
Yup he needs to get his control under control. Pardon the pun.
Raley update.
I have the same tendinitis of the same finger. lol
Oh, I thought you were mad at me. I didn't do it.
Senga's finger is his index finger. He must have been using baseballs left in deGrom's locker.
Right down the middle. Lol. That ump was either hungry or had to pee real bad.
Ump made 2nd call because batter showed him up on previous. Basically if the catcher caught the ball it was a strike.
And the ump was suspended indefinitely as he should have been. Never should get an ump job again.
What more does this kid have to do to win a roster spot and start at 3b?
Brett Baty is already 2-for-2 tonight, bringing his spring average up to .458

Final roster spots on offense are going to be tough- time to just let Ruf go. But Baty/Mauricio/Vientos all deserving - Locastro has earned a spot as well.
Most likely see MAuricio go down no matter what as he has to learn a new position. But all concerns about him after the winter/spring he has had...should be gone. Even his eye at the plate has made him MLB ready and that was the biggest concern.
Also love seeing so many of our stars also have had a good spring as well.
