I hear they're in talks with Kimbrel.

If we sign him now, I'd have to imagine it would be nearly May before we see him since he had no spring training.

It would depend on how much throwing he has been doing on his own.

I would think it would be quicker than that, but will be happy either way.

Same here. I just remember signing Ervin Santana late and it being a while before he made his first start(fuck that guy BTW)

Yep. Holland signed late (I think it was last year) and got bombed repeatedly.

 

[Mondo Jay]

If Kimbrel gets anywhere near his asking price, (Max 3 years) it makes sense for both sides. Club/player options with incentives could be at play here too.

Therefore, it probably won't happen.

Phillies already have their lineup out for today. As expected:

McCutchen(R) LF Segura(R) SS Harper(L) RF Hoskins(R) 1B Realmuto(R) C Herrera(L) CF Hernandez(B) 2B Franco(R) 3B Nola(R) P

Over/Under on how many homers Harper hits off Julio today?

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

Over/Under on how many homers Julio gives up today?

I would set that number at 2.5.

Braves have to score a minimum of 6 today for me to feel good about a win.

 

[brandonk989]

Julio is actually pretty good on opening day. Just needs to survive the 1st inning.

You drunk?

You drunk?

I wish haha.

But in his 5 opening day starts he's 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA

 

[brandonk989]

We have a lineup!

Inciarte CF
Donaldson 3B
Freeman 1B
Acuña LF
Markakis RF
Albies 2B
McCann C
Swanson SS
Teheran P

As expected for me. Glad to see Mac in there over Flowers. Inciarte needs to get off to a quicker start this year if he's going to stay in the leadoff spot.

 

[Rod Freakin' Dangerfield]

Donaldson had better work out. I feel like Camargo is getting the shaft.

 

[Hitman Hart]

the idea of Teheran vs Harper on opening day doesn't exactly make me rock hard

I feel the same about Teheran vs. any hitter that has a career .250 average or better.
