As John Fogerty once wailed, "Put me in coach, I wanna play - todayyyyyy!" :roll eyes: Jim Hunter is a trip.

It's actually "ready" to play. My wife and I saw him in concert a few years ago. He was wonderful

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!

We?re born again, there?s new grass on the field.

A-roundin? third, and headed for home, it?s a brown-eyed handsome man;

Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Chorus:

Oh, put me in, coach - I?m ready to play today;

Put me in, coach - I?m ready to play today;

Look at me, I can be centerfield.

Well, I spent some time in the mudville nine, watchin? it from the bench;

You know I took some lumps when the mighty casey struck out.

So say hey willie, tell ty cobb and joe dimaggio;

Don?t say "it ain?t so", you know the time is now.

Chorus

Yeah! I got it, I got it!

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;

You know I think it?s time to give this game a ride.

Just to hit the ball and touch ?em all - a moment in the sun;

(pop) it?s gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

Chorus

Got two already that can play first on this roster.

Of course, if he could play first, would make things interesting for 2016.

So are you sitting Paredes for the Miami series? Take his bat out for three games?

Just to rosterbate a little bit.

Machado 3B

Paredes 1B

Jones CF

Davis RF

Weiters DH

Snider LF

Hardy SS

Flaherty 2B

Joseph C

Once Weiters comes back and assuming Jimmy can play 1st. Heck of a lineup. Lough can come in at LF every game we are winning. Against LHP Pearce and Young play and Snider and Joseph sit.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
