Just confirmed that Ned is doing a commercial about how a cellphone saved his life. Pretty cool.

Looking forward to the season. Gosh, things look so much better than did at AS break last year. Real reasons for some optimism about contending at some point.

Absolutely. While I don’t think contenting is in the cards this year, this should be a team that keeps us interested through the AS break and slightly beyond. For a rebuilding team with little pitching, I’ll take it.

As optimistic as I like to be, if the bullpen is still terrible this might still be a last place team. We'll see if guys like Lovelady can actually come up and give us a shot of life. There will probably be games where the offense looks rough and other games where they light it up with their team speed and a little bit of pop. At their best we might actually be a pretty fun offense to watch compared to the rest of the league.
The catch is who knows if anyone in our division will actually be any good. The White Sox could still make a move or two, including Machado. The Twins just continue to add mid range free agents, although they did get Nelson Cruz. It's the same question as last year for them though, is that all going to come together and actually work. The Indians are the front runners by default but they're not nearly the same team either. If any of the other teams could just play above their head for a bit you're probably a 2nd place team at least. |

What's Jose Lima up to these days? Think we could bring him in for a look in the pen?

But-I expect the pen to be better; and it's one of the spots a small market team can reasonably spend and get improvement. I think it could be a 75ish win club pretty easily. With a little luck right around .500 |

I’m not really concerned about the W total this year. I’m on board for picking inside the top 5 again.
Would like to see Boxberger, Diekmann, and Storen build up a bit of trade value. Want to see Mondesi continue to progress. Want to see Duffy rebound, and if he does, explore a mid season trade for him. I’ll try to get to a prospect highlight when I can. Probably won’t do a full list - there are better resources for that these days than me - but will focus on guys I’m excited about.
