I've heard it mention before but for me this I'm considering this as more of a transition period than an full rebuild. I think the organization is trying to get an full assessment of what they have and what needs to be added. It's Early and a small sample size, but I think we're starting to see some breakouts and potential building blocks/stars in O'hoppe and Detmers.

Honestly I've accepted the fact that this is what Sandy is as a pitcher. When he's on, he is on but when he is off, you just have to hope he goes 5 and keeps you in the game. He's basically Snell 2.0 with out the Ace label. I am more concerned about the middle Bullpen arms than him. Sandy did what I need him to do and gave us 5 and kept us close. 4-3 game is a lot different than 5-3 or even 6 to 3 game that happened.

This Is game number 11, still a small sample size but Hicks as shown he's much better against lefties compared to righties.Thus he should be playing more against lefties and sitting against righties. Sano, I thinks deserves full time or close to full playing time. Adell and Moniak, got to see what they have. Rengifo should also.be full time.

Dana getting his first start in AA, might watch it a bit. Texido was 87-89, but has alot of deception. there still room for development and added velo. I liked but I saw from him. His mechanics are quite similar to Ja Happ.

is the audio out for you guys? or is it Spanish night?

Rengifo 2nd, O'hoppe 5th, Sano 6th and Drury 7th.

So it begins.

honestly tier system and the whole grading each game isn't really worth it after 1.5 week in baseball. I'd understand if it was towards like week 4 to get assessment of the teams, but now it's pointless. Baseball isn't like basketball, a team/player could be getting An A+ the first 3 or 4 weeks and than crash. If your gone do a tier list or grades, I advice your to do one during game 40, 80,120 and 160. Basically break ot a part. Alot can help from this point to game 40, to 80 ...and etc. Also, the Os are a tier 1 team! Maimai is more of tier 3.

I have no Issues with Soriano going 3 full innings and didn't think Ron mismanaged this game at all. With that Said, something I would consider going forward down the road. 1. Consider moving O'hoppe up to the 5th spot. he's a run producer and an RBI guy. I though by mid-season he'd be in the middle-of the line up. 2. Sano has impressed me! put him behind O'hoppe in the 6th-hole and Drury down in the 7th.

Bs! it take them this long and plus that's not even an easy play to make.

damn it....All-star than!

Rendon! give my dude a standing ovation! fuck yeah!

O'hoppe! my candidate for breakout hitter and Roty!

Another solid start by Wantz! Also, Crouse might be another BP arm to keep an eye on. he was once a big time prospect!

Does anyone know if MIlB is planning on using the same baseball in AA that were used last year? On that note, that AA rotation is going to have some series fire with Mederos, Koch and Dana. Also who are your guys breakout hitter and pitcher for this season? Mine are; For hitter: Alberto Rios For Pitcher: Hurtado

I've been following this draft since the top draft list was posted. From what I've gather and heard, this is draft that's going to be heavy with college hitter, while being weak on the pitching sides and teenagers. The top 3 potential hitters that could go 1.1 are; Condon, Bazzana, and Wetherholt. The top pitchers that could go 1.1 are Burns and Smith For me personally My pick is Braden Montogomery, he has ranged between 6 to 9 in most mock draft. He is a switch-hitting outfielder with plus-plus power and an 80-grade arm that can potentially be a middle of the order bat. Baseball American released their first mock draft, and they have us selecting Jonathan Santucci, LHP. Which I'm not a fan of.

Silseth was a bit unlucky in the first inning thanks to the bad defense. He would probably had been charged with at most one run in that inning. But Overall the stuff looks good!

who still remembers that first inning?

hell of an atbat by Rendon

Fucken MVP right there!

What a shit show of a first inning. y the defense.

For get the next 29 games, I think by the All-start; 1. Detmers and Silseth will be out numbers 1 and 2 starters. They will also pitch like it. 2. Taylor Ward will have an All-star like year 3. O'hoppe will be hit 285 345-OBP with 15 hrs.

Similar to everyone here, Rengifo,Moniak and Adeeo need to play more.

With Schanuel graduating from the top 30 list, for me Dana is our number 1 prospect! honesty I am surprised that he's starting at AA. I though he'd start at A+ and eventually reach double AA towards the end of the season. Francis Texido, seem like another guy to keep an eye on in the lower minors. 18 year with plans to be starting in A.

Sandy just needs to slow everything down at times. He's rushing and his front elbow seems to be flying out. Hence all the missed locations and pitches being up. I think he'll be fine, he'll have a few bad starts but the stuff looked really good! Just needs to slow it down, fix a few mechanical errors and see how he does next start. But the command and emotion will be huge! Also might just be me, but it looked like his fastball had cut action on it today. A few things other things, I am fine with Rendon at the lead-off spot, but the hope is by mid-season, trout is moved up to the 2-hole, and if the power develops nicely I'd consider moving Schanuel to the 3-hole or if it doesn't maybe Rengifo at the 3rd/ Second, I am glad that Sano made the roster, But I would prefer the younger guys (Moniak, Rengifo, and Adell) get more playing time over him. Third, this is more of a personal favortie, But i think Stefanic is going to be important with his ability to hit for contact, draw walks and not a strike-out machine. But, Just one game nothing to worry about at the moment.
