I cannot imagine Richard Urena makes the team. His career OPS is .662 in AAA and .652 in AA. .707 OPS with the juiced balls last year in AAA. He is probably a worse hitter than Richie Martin.

No one picking Cobb to be on the DL for opening day?

That is a good point, but both players are considered to be better with the gloves then with the bat, and Urena Is younger, bigger, which means he’ll have a few inches more range, which might make a difference when diving for a ball, and he’s a switch hitter. Maybe that just means he can be bad from both sides of the plate, but when you’re discussing a defensive back up, switch hitting does provide some more versatility.

Are points awarded if the position is wrong? I have Mancini in LF but he might play Right.

Just have to be on the roster, not position.

It was too long to quote. I didn't want to take up all of Page 2 with my jokes.

Well, Urena just took a big hit from any roster predictions, including mine. He'll have to fight his way back onto the 40-man roster now.

Sulser was dumped by Tampa because they have lots of good players, and not because he’s bad. His MiL stats are consistent, and I think except for his lousy 37%GB rate, for me, he’s the most likely Dark Horse to make the team.

 

Sulser might be good.
