    • This is terrific. I always felt that Mounty had a great personality, but those three are great together. 
    • I was just pondering the same question. Articles from 2 weeks ago said he wasn't budging on his asking price of 7 years and a big number. But if no one is going to give him that, and he doesn't accept a different offer, then he sits on the couch and collects no pay what-so-ever while Major League Baseball plays games in 2024.
    • We'll see. I expect they'll conclude that the most effective defensive alignment doesn't involve playing Mayo at third more than occasionally, even if he proves that he'd be a reasonable option there for most other teams. 
    • It's hard to judge. I remember the Spring Eddie Murray had to make the team. I also remember many mirages.
    • I am definitely guilty of this. Just makes the spring more interesting if you think the stats matter when we all know they don't. The one thing that's worth paying attention to is injuries or physical changes, like a pitcher getting a bump in velocity. One example is when Britton showed up to camp throwing that 98 mph sinker and all of a sudden people started talking about him as closer. I was naturally skeptical but the spring speculation turned out absolutely correct in that case.  Of course, similar comments were made about Jason Garcia when we grabbed him in the Rule 5 the following year. Stuff like, "He throws 98 and the ball has a different sound when it hits the catcher's glove". We all remember how that turned out.
