They were on the decline as pitchers, but we lost a lot of senior leadership with Greg Holland, Wade Davis, Danny Duffy, and even Kyle Zimmer was a veteran compared to some of these young guys. I don't know if it would be good or bad, but I did think that KC would bring back Duffy when he has recovered. KC signed back Richard Lovelady to a minor league contract, so we will maybe see him in the bull pen at some time. I thought maybe Trevor Rosenthal, if he has recovered, might be another target. I read that we signed Brad Peacock to a minor league deal, but I am afraid that ship has sailed. Kenley Jansen is 34 and has a 2.3 WAR but he is probably too expensive for KC. Any thoughts? Does KC need relief help or will the starters that don't get to start, be our relief pitchers? |

Dick Lovelady had tommy john last fall. I think Rosethal is hurt or recovering too. We have quite a few arms penciled in with Staumont, Berentz, Coleman, tapia etc... I think they might dumpster dive in the next couple of weeks for a veteran arm - but not of Jensen's ilk.

Mondi will hold up an entire season at SS? Good luck with that.

Chicago White Sox: 91.5 wins
Under -110 (bet $10 to win $19.09 total) Over -110 (bet $10 to win $19.09 total) Detroit Tigers: 78.5 wins Under -110 (bet $10 to win $19.09 total) Over -110 (bet $10 to win $19.09 total) Kansas City Royals: 75.5 wins Under -110 (bet $10 to win $19.09 total) Over -110 (bet $10 to win $19.09 total) Minnesota Twins: 75.5 wins Under -110 (bet $10 to win $19.09 total) Over -110 (bet $10 to win $19.09 total) A few tidbits: - With a win total set at 94.5, the Dodgers lead the way. Understandably so, as they are the favorites to grab the pennant and World Series. L.A. won 106 games last season and is hungry to make their fourth trip to the Fall Classic since 2016. - The Houston Astros (92.5 wins) are looking to go to their six straight League Championship Series this season. With or without Carlos Correa, the Astros are poised to win a ton of games this year. - The Atlanta Braves (89.5 wins) went under their pre-season win total last year, finishing with 88 wins. However, they got a nice consolation prize with the World Series trophy. Losing Freddie Freeman is tough but signing Matt Olsen will keep this team on track to defend their title. - By their standards, The New York Yankees (92.5 wins) are in a severe drought, having failed to reach the World Series for the 13th year in a row. Will this season see a return to form for the Bronx Bombers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No way in the effing world should Mondesi be our starting SS. Horrible move. The SS/2B combo requires a lot of teamwork and with Mondesi's track record on the injury front, it's gonna be difficult to establish/maintain/grow the on field relationship with the 2B. Plus, be prepare to see your SS botch a bunch of routine balls (probably throwing errors).
The "proper" assignments would be: 3B-Witt, SS-Lopez, 2B-Merrifield. Mondesi can go log time in the outfield with occasional infield play (giving starters a rest). Mondesi is TOTALLY unreliable yet we're handing him the SS position??? Lord have mercy. |

If you have a family member that still has cable, ask if you can use their cable login and download the Bally Sports app on a Fire Stick.

Your option is to beg, borrow, or steal a login from someone who has cable, or use European streaming sites.
