Can't help but think a bit about an opening day lineup next year that looks like: CF Hays, 2B Alberto, RF Santander, 1B Mancini, DH, Nunez, 3B Ruiz, C Rutchman, LF Mountcastle, SS Inglasias. The possibilities....

It's fun to watch when they play good, fundamental baseball. Of course I want them to make the playoffs, but I'm just happy to have an enjoyable baseball game to watch every night.

Sorry if I missed - are we expecting Kjerstad to make this 60-man roster? They have to find a way to keep him busy. Was interesting to see Austin Martin added to Blue Jays.

Where do the 2020 draftees fit in?

what did Bill Gates say?

Am I the only one who is glad he got bombed? Don't want to see this guy in the rotation, whoever the season starts.

Spring average down to .160. How much rope does he have with the starting CF job?

Limited group of us folks here that will get this humor.

Just for fun....what's our upside if Davis hits .250 with 45 homers? No comments on likelihood please. Offense could be pretty good.

What an absolute joke that this guy is not in camp yet. How tone deaf can someone be.

He's definitely a candidate for major regression, considering he was never a top prospect. What a great story if he can maintain 2nd or 3rd starter profile. This is a big year for him (and us).

My take: Off the juice.

I totally agree. Most of the comments I've read about his defense seem to be about his arm, which shouldn't be as much of an issue at 2nd of course. Could he be a Jeff Kent like 2nd baseman?

I agree - I'm thinking Hess breaks spring with a rotation spot.

That's not the first reason I would think of to pass on him.

Offseason baby! Let the excitement begin....

Was anyone able to recap the DSL season - who were the most successful/promising prospects from the July 2 international draft?

2nd base seems to are the only position they haven't tried out Mountcastle, which surprises me a bit since the word is that it's his arm that doesn't play at 3rd and SS. Why haven't they tried him at 2nd, which would help to ease the corner OF/1B/DH log jam.

I think Gausman is exactly the type of pitcher we will be targeting this off-season. I would not be surprised (or mad) if this happens. 2020 off-season I hope we will be setting our goals a little higher

Let's look at the future, not the past. I like Hyde.

Long term with just these players I would like to see Santander in LF, Hays in CF, Diaz in RF, Moutcastle at 1B, Mancini as DH and Stewart and McKenna as 4th and 5th OF.

Big night for Ryan. 1-3 with a BB, his 23rd of the year. 3 more and he will tie his carer high of 26 set just last year ?

He leads the league in at bats because he doesn't walk. Oh no, not that again! ?

Oh fine. Misread that. But people can improve once they get to the mlb. and at 7% you also have Tori Hunter
