Who isn't?

I’ve heard Raley has been playing a lot OF. Which begs the question of why if he is going to be the primary 1B. Haven’t look but is Tellez doing well enough to make the roster and DFA Haniger?

Raley LF and Randy DH?

I haven't seen a ton of games but the ones I have Raley was DH or 1B. Tellez has been what he has always been. Not sure if he is a huge upgrade. I know they like his leadership. They love that word. Would the cheapest team in baseball really just eat $15M? I don't see it.

Haven't been following spring, but I saw their record (yeah, I know) and my first thought was are they really already struggling with scoring runs? Looked at the stats and found they are dead last in spring in runs allowed lol. Sheesh. The only worse team in spring is the Marlins with a -35 run differential.

It feels like I'm back to the same feel just a few short years ago where the only question on opening day is can this team reach .500 at any point during the season and find a way to reach 82 wins.

I'm 100% certain they won't be a factor in any WC chase and that sucks when you feel that way before a single game that matters is played.

Going To Peoria next week and can't wait to see some games. As far as how our season will go, if we don't have bounce back seasons from at least 2 players we will hover around .500.

Enjoy. My brother just got back from there yesterday after a week. It has been 9 years since I lived down there. Crazy. Lucky dog. I hope you are an In & Out fan. It was my favorite.

Lost on an error....

You know that "Dumb Ways to Die" song from years ago? If they did "Dumb Ways to Lose," we'd have more than half the methods covered!

I can't wait to be starting up the "Mariners blown games 2025"

Funny because when I saw him play the field in CF and at 2B I thought he wasn't going to be much. Then he goes 3-3 and I think he has a legit shot. He is a very confusing read. I think there is a case to hold onto him because of his skills but at the same time I wonder if dealing him now is the best move to avoid losing a lost chance.

I'm in on the hold onto him category.

Ya but he really doesn't have a spot. He is hesitant in CF with an infield arm and he doesn't seem to be the best infielder either. I am good either way, but I don't want him to go to waste either.
