MLB Spring Injuries and Concerns.

[Tx Oriole]

Great first step.

Love to seem him be a force in the bullpen this year

Would be nice.

If we see a team with a major injury' date=' do we have a position of strength we could trade from? Bullpen? First basemen? Flaherty?[/quote']

Maybe they do but why?

Cueto scratched from Giants' Saturday game.

"We're just backing him off a little," Bochy said.

The decision was Bochy's, and he called this an "old-school" way of handling a starter.

Paredes was evaluated by a hand specialist in Sarasota, Showalter said. And while X-rays taken Thursday revealed no fracture and an MRI performed Friday showed no hidden bone issue or serious ligament damage, there is concern that he might have a slight stress fracture in his wrist, but that won’t be known until some of the swelling in the joint goes down over the next 48 hours.

Welp, there go the angels. It's just going to be the Astros and the Rangers competing for that division, with Seattle coming in a distant 3rd place.

He was going to be a trade or DFA candidate anyways, blessing in disguise of sorts.

Austin Jackson to the Chicago White Sox for $5 million. I'm on the fence about him, but he's gone now.

Paper thin team with a $167 million payroll. One of the few teams ranked below the Orioles in their farm system.

Because they literally have nothing.

I saw TJ McFarland and Brian Matusz are hurting right now. As much as I'd love to keep multiple lefties in the pen, these two injuries don't worry me so much. More room for Chri Jones and others to step up- that's a good thing.
