martin looks great........................he has to have won the cf job

Gentry has looked every bit as good as Martin, there's no clear cut winners in the OF

Nope. It will start as a platoon unless one gets traded.

 

[romeo212000]

Tepesch gettin rocked in 2nd.

They need to take a serious look ST what it would take to get Porcello.

lets see......martin-.362 avg....926 ops...415 obp.....47 at bats

gentry-.283 avg.....877 ops.....377 obp.....46 at bats

i would say martin has won the lionshare of any platoon starting the year...if not the starting job outright ..imo

 

[bone3421]

hell and looking at the pitching stats.....cant see how ross was eliminated 3.07 era...7bb...8k's...14.2 innings...hits 16

tepesch(got hit hard today i saw).....6 era...6 bb..13 k's...18 innings ...hits 24

ross numbers are better than ogando .....

guess lowe is getting the 5th spot ...for now

What I've been secretly been hoping for is Cruz to get suspended and Martin can take a COF spot while he's out

Might want to retract that. Cruz had looked really good lately.

Bullpen is hella weak. They needed him there, more than the #5 spot.

bullpen has not been impressive this spring, they have been looking to trade for another pen arm and Bailey's name has come up.

 

[bone3421]

dont agree with that ......ortiz and robertson have been mowing people down all spring

adding ross to ortiz and robertson in the pen seems very redundant to me....

ross has earned the chance as far as i am concerned

Nah ... only time BP is more important than #5 is in the playoffs.

The Ballpark now is now a "YUNIVERSE".

He'll revert back to his old ways soon enough

With Holland, Ogando and ? in the rotation you better have a good bullpen.

 

[jta4437]

All Cruz brings is some power, lots of K's, empty AB's and lousy defense

I'll trade some power for a more well rounded player

 

[jta4437]

We get it, you don't like Holland, but nothing this spring supports your comments

 

[romeo212000]

This.

Not much during RS supports Holland as Mr. Consistency either. He's a #3.

Seeing as he's slated as our #3 right now what's the problem with that? He's an damn good #3 at that, and still has time to get better. Between him, Harrison, and Darvish we may end up with a top 3 that is among the best in all of baseball.
