Spring Training 2025

I don't think being one of the 5 honorable mentions would be outside the realm of possibility but, then again, I've not done an in-depth analysis of the other 29 rotations so maybe I'd find that our rotation could just as easily be 20th.

Agree. We COULD be named as an honorable mention. Because we have a LOT of kids who COULD develop into studs. But they could just as likely all stumble on their faces. You don’t place a team full of unknown kids in the top 1/3 of the league (imho)

"at ATH" lol.

The Giants will have IF Zane Zielisnski up from minor league camp. Zielinski was a 2024 9th-round pick and college teammate of fellow Giants minor leaguer Charlie Szykowny. He has not made his pro debut yet.

Hasn’t he been busy fighting off the invading Ruskies?

Fun fact: my great grandpa's name when he came through Ellis Island.

Ruskies or Zielinski?

If Ray can give SF 160-180 IP at around a 3.6-3.7 ERA that would be huge. They need a few of these starters to eat up some quality innings. If they do and keep the pen fresh they should have one of the better bullpens in baseball.

Right?

They let that miscreant in

My name is a town in Germany, but I don’t believe my family came through Ellis Island, so I believe it is actually my real name.

Not sure how you came to settle on THAT town. But my ancestral home is much smaller and not located anywhere near there.

Okay, that is weird considering my last name is also from a small town in Germany. tzill needs to get a little more creative in his alts.

Apparently, he only knows how to write for Germans, Russians and Jews.

He needs to take more creative writing courses.

Schmitt with an error to let in a run T2 then a two run bomb B2 to make up for it.
