I know it says no discussion, but the team leader has 17 saves? I can't even wrap my head around that even if Tolleson gets traded, someone is bound to eclipse 17 even in a bullpen by committee

I'm going to predict on the low side.

Record: 90-74
Place: 2nd in AL West (behind Houston); Wildcard berth
End Result: Lose to Indians in ALCS
Team ROY: no clue

jaar01 · Apr 4, 2016

Record: 89-73
Place: 2nd in AL West behind Astros
End Result: Lose to Royals in ALDS

I am going on the assumption Tolleson gets traded and that we have about 3 different other guys who wind up with between 10 and 15 saves. Maybe a couple more with between 5 and 10 saves.

I knew what you were implying b/c thats basically what I said above, but I still can't see it happening

I got to cheat a bit because I saw this late

Record: 91-71
Place: 1st AL West
End Result: WS win over Cubs (homer call)
Team ROY: Mazara

Batting (Name + Number)
HR: Beltre, 26

BA: Beltre .312

W: Hamels 19
ERA: Holland 3.35
K: Hamels 220
S: Dyson 25

Does Beltre get extended? I got him having a good year so he will hit the market but ultimately he resigns with the Rangers on a 2 year deal worth $32-34M with a 3rd incentive based option.

Mazara, Gallo, Brinson - Which one has the highest impact this season? (Either on the field or via trade) Mazara but I have cheated

Who (if anyone) gets traded from the Rangers? Not in contention: Beltre, if in contention: some prospects

Who (if anyone) gets traded to the Rangers? Starting Pitcher rental possibly depending on where Yu is. Some good names out there are Iwakuma, Strasburg, Peavy. Maybe a catcher

It probably won't happen, but I just thought of a scenario and went with it. It was basically born out of my belief that we have several closer types on the roster including Bush in the minors. That and the fact that since we have so much depth in the pen that one of them could very well be traded if we need something else at deadline time.

Fielder needs to eat his Wheaties if he is going to come anywhere CLOSE to the 27 number I predicted.

I'd be surprised if he hits 17

10 may be a long shot.

Ephland..........10 may be a long shot.

Not sure what to think.

But I gave a quote from Jared Sandler about how Prince just flat-out couldn't get around a decent fastball anymore. In fact, he said, "go back and look at his HR the other day. It was on a change-up. Now, I don't have an idea why anyone would throw a change-up to Prince at this point. But he did."

Not being able to get around on a fastball means his bat has slowed.

Yeah....that's what he said.
