2014 Offseason

[PDay8810]

I was reminiscing too.

More positive than those negatives of course. Teamed up well with Elvis at 2b. Will always remember some plays he made deep to his left. Having Elvis covering the middle he learned he could cheat a half a step to his left. Came up all the way through the TEX organization. First star Frisco got to see play en route to TEX. When MY was traded expected him to take on more of a leadership role that didn't seem to materialize. I think he took MY's departure more personally than MY did. Voicing his thoughts as he left for DET shows he hadn't matured as much as we thought he had. Enjoyed him while he was here but know TEX is a better team on the field than it was. Some of that is Fielder TBD ... more of that is Odor and even more so because it was unanticipated.

Howdy Winding....good to see you posting.
All the Best!

Bannister was talking about this on the local DFW news Saturday.

Have not really been paying much attention to radio or tv stuff lately so did not hear it. Happen to be in the car earlier today when Cowlishaw and Moseley were on and Moseley said something to the effect about Prince and Choo bouncing back and Beltre too even though he hung in there. Hung in there? He hit 324 with 19 HRs. Would have had more RBIs but not as many opportunities last year. They guy did great. Can't even come close to putting him in the same category and Fielder and Choo. The guy is a stud.

Kela with a clean inning, looks like he was pumping in strikes

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Me too

Haven't heard from you in a while PDay. Welcome back. Or maybe I just missed your posts as I just show up once in a while right now.

Saw where Beltre had a double earlier. Alberto leads off the 5th with a single.

Yes sir and Fielder with another hit as well as Peguero. Alberto just stole 2nd

 

[Bmurph]

Fielder with another ground ball and rbi for now, will be interesting to see if its scored a hit or error. Hit for now, may be changed

 

[Nightcrawler]

How is Fielder doing so far? I dont keep up with spring because all the games are in the afternoon. We need Fielder to hit .300 with 20 HRs this year.

All good news and not sure how hard it was hit but said Beltre lined out to LF.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Gallo taking Beltre's spot now.

Making contact. Hit a homer yesterday. I'm expecting .285-.295 and at least 25 bombs from him.

I actually think those are reasonable and doable expectations.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Got it going in the 6th. Smolinski single, Peguero HBP, Rosales single and Gimenez single to add a run and 0 outs.

Agreed. And if he's really feeling it he could get in the mid 30's range in HRs.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Lucas with a Sac Fly and everyone moved up but Gimenez must of pulled a bonehead play as it looks like he went part way to 2nd and then tried to get back to 1st and was thrown out.

Totally and completely different. That's why Fielder and Choo will read about his induction in the HOF.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Feliz coming in. I think this is his first game action isn't it?

 

[Justinkm83]

Made it through 3 innings giving up 2 hits and 3 walks and struck out 3. Not sure if I know one single position player that is playing for Oakland today though.

Vogt, Semien, and Fuld started.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Base hit for Gallo.

Saw Vogt after I posted but missed Fuld. Do not know much about Semien. Thanks.
