Walden's 29. Not sure I'd call him a youngster. Poyner is interesting, he did put up good strikeout numbers last year.

 

[nynasty]

Anyone have comcast/xfinity and know if they offer the Extra innings free preview like the Dishes do?

Matt Holliday has joined MLB Network Radio as an analyst.

Orioles returned Rule 5 Draft pick RHP Jose Mesa to the Yankees.

At my age I call David Ortiz a youngster.


Good luck to your Dodgers this year. My Marlins will be lucky to not lose 100

Aaron Hicks will bat fifth for the Yankees on Opening Day against the Blue Jays.

That was probably going to be Greg Bird's lineup spot, but he needed surgery Tuesday on his right ankle and will be sidelined 6-8 weeks. Hicks tallied 15 home runs and 10 stolen bases in 88 games last year alongside an .847 OPS and could carry big-time fantasy value in 2018. The full Opening Day lineup for the Yankees, who will go up against Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ on Thursday afternoon in Toronto: Brett Gardner LF, Aaron Judge RF, Giancarlo Stanton DH, Gary Sanchez C, Aaron Hicks CF, Didi Gregorius SS, Brandon Drury 3B, Neil Walker 2B, Tyler Austin 1B

Tyler Austin's had an interesting week, going from not making the team to starting 1st baseman on opening day.

No shit? Le Grande Orange. Not sure if anyone ever looked less like a professional athlete. Fucker could roll out of bed and hit though.

he is the only major leaguer in history to achieve 500 hits with four different teams, and, along with Ty Cobb, Alex Rodriguez and Gary Sheffield, one of only four players in history to hit home runs in the majors before turning 20 years old after turning 40.

I'd lead off Benitendi (think he's gonna have a big year) and hit Mookie second or third. Why is the corpse of Hanley Ramirez hitting 3rd?
