My boys played a solid game today. 7-0 over the Padres and lots of clutch hitting. It's Spring Training but what do you know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am pretty happy that Spring Training has started. The lack of baseball was starting to get to me.

I like the backend of your bullpen, that's to me how I think Boston might be better. You got Carson Smith from my Mariners and I think he'll be a great set up man.

I don't even know what the White Sox did in the off season and quite frankly I don't care. I'm still disappointed from last season.

Anyways, I predict the Mets will make it to the world series again. Perhaps going against the Cubs. Only time will tell...

2 NL teams can't make the World Series.

Anyways, I say Giants over Astros for the World Series, I'll post my predictions on a separate post.

Cruz is another year older. How many HRs do you expect from him this year? I really hope Guti can stay healthy. He's a beast when he can stay on the field.

Anywhere in between 28 and 45. Probably 30-35 if we're going by Steamer projections.

If Guti's healthy, there's just no way he won't struggle, literally whenever he's healthy he's an X-Factor and is key for RISP situations (his BA for that alone is freakishly high). Having him all year might mean we could win 90, part of me think he's our good luck charm. Now that JeDi has given us aggressive baserunners and good situational hitters, I'm more than confident about our offense this year than any time last year for all that matter.

The season hinges on the bullpen and defense. If both are top half, we're 85 wins and above. Top 10, 88 and above. Top 5, 90 and above. That's just how it is. All of the pieces are there to contend and go deep. It just relies on bullpen and defense, we're probably losing ST games because of some pitchers that won't make the team. We should have beaten the Angels that day. Aro's lack of control and Chris Taylor's defense made us lose.

I'm still looking for a few people to fill in so sound off in the club or send me a message if you want in.

Hopefully we can get until June without imploding, Stanton getting injured or being 10+ games behind first place....but I guess all of that might be wishful thinking.

Wow that lame new 2nd base rule just caused the Jays their 3rd win. Gee, thanks Chase Utley and "the call from New York". Dumbest ending to a game ever. That game is now unofficially non-canon.

Aaron Sanchez got me a good night on fantasy doe.

And pitched a shutout, like a boss (it was against the Padres, though).
