Just for fun' date=' give us wildcard magic numbers too.[/quote']

Wild card magic numbers are a bit too complicated for me this far out. Especially with close races in the Central and West where you don't know who's going to win the division and who's going to be left fighting for a wild card. I'm sure it can be done but it's simpler to do division magic numbers which is what we're all after anyway.

    • He's on the Bowie IL. Not sure what is injury is unfortunately. 
    • Not to mention both Miller and O'Day could be counted on to get more than 3 outs if you needed it. I'm not sure you could top that bullpen even if you were able to hand-pick any three relievers in the game today. I'll never forget how fun that was to watch.
    • My report after last year without the statcast data that BA seems to have eyes on now. the two walks so far is what has impressed me. If he can keep that up while missing bats that's big for him. The stuff was legit at times. 53. Moises Chace – RHP (A): The 6-1 right-hander started to put things together a bit late in the summer before getting shut down for an injury. The 20-year old’s fastball sits 92-93 and touches 94-95. His best pitch is a solid average change up that works really well against lefties who slashed just 1.82/.310/.347/.657 off him. Throws a slider and curveball though both pitches are very inconsistent and have to improve. Command overall is still a big problem as his fastball tends to run up and away too often.
    • There have been a TON that are strikes but right on the edge and he's been given basically no leeway on them from umps. Not saying he should get leeway, just that over the course of a season, a lot of those are probably called balls.  It's really been a perfect storm of some bad luck, some tough umps, really tough pitching with high-level stuff and command, and then some normal rookie chasing at times. He's late on a lot of things which to me means he's in between trying to figure out if he should be selective or let it rip. 
    • It will come down to command and consistency for him.  I saw DL Hall give up a HR on a pitch clocked at 100 MPH last year.  My son pitches for his High School team.  He looked at me in amazement and said "How does a guy who throws 100 MPH get hit like that?".  I told him pitching is like Real Estate: Location, Location, Location....
    • Is it still true that they get the MLB health care for life for getting onto the active roster? Or is that a myth.
