Colon getting lit up. Starters haven't looked good the last couple of days.

Don't look for Colon to be here opening day.
He may be here just because our alternatives are not that great either and maybe you get 2 good starts out of every 3 out of him. Not anything I am excited about though.

Otani and Odor have both had awful Springs. Are both going to have awful regular seasons as well?

Spring Training stats are used rather inconsistently by fans at times. Many of us show a double standard regarding them. If it is one of our favorite players who is struggling in ST we say ST stats don't mean anything, but when one of our favorite players does well in ST we point to those stats to validate our feelings about what he will do in the regular season.

Then there is the whole question about if you can decide who will make the regular season roster using ST results if those results don't really matter.

With Odor he has last season to make us feel that ST could be an indicator. This is not like a Beltre who has proved himself time and time again in the regular season so you ignore what he does in ST.

Ragans is having Tommy John surgery and Kyle Cody most likely will too.

Awful, awful, awful!!!

Hopefully, Crouse can be our one young pitcher to stay healthy.

Maybe we’re doing something wrong either developmentally or with the way we use our pitchers, seems like we’ve seen a ton of guys having tommy john on our team

Well we have time win these guys and Palumbo will come back strong too. But yes hate to lose the development time

Yeah, it probably sets back our fully open window a full year or longer. Maybe Palumbo and Crouse can be the one-two punch until Ragans catches up with them.
