Wow, Minny at 70.5 seems like stealing money. I'd take the over on that all day long. The others make sense, although again I think we are a bit high

It's 82.5 ...... just bought a ticket in Vegas 3 days ago.

Roster deadline is tomorrow night at midnight, but it seems like all the drama is now gone. Louis Coleman will probably be on the DL, allowing the Royals to keep Ciriaco for at least a couple weeks. Bueno is probably #12 in the bullpen, and we're going to try to sneak Peguero through waivers.

yeah, I've read a couple stories about MLB's shiny new replay center in New York. Looks impressive.

I pray they just bite the bullet and move to using the K zone next. THE number one thing that's ****ed-up, day-in and day-out, are the balls and strike calls at the plate.

And the ONLY thing the current group of blind-ass umps might argue is where the "midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants" and the "line at the hollow beneath the kneecap" are. And I'm sure some official needing his easy paycheck to keep coming-in will say no computer can do that!

Manaea should make it to AA by the end of the year. If all goes well, he could be on a fast track to Omaha by next year. The scouts really, really liked Manaea this spring.

Would be nice if Almonte made AA as well.

Have a feeling Infante going to the DL will happen sooner or later and Colon gets a lot of time at 2B this year, possibly SS if Escobar's shoulder is still bothering him.

If manaea, zimmer, duffy and yordano all turn out, we will have a great window of cheap pitching that may let us lock up a couple real bats.

That would be really sweet.

If Duffy continues to struggle to get through innings, it might damage the hope of him becoming a viable starter. Can’t have a rotation guy that gets pulled after 4 every game. Replacement for Holland???

We can't even begin to think about that until he fails. The value of a starter, even a #3 or #4, is a lot higher than a closer.

Zimmer will stay in Arizona for about 8 more weeks, before heading off to AA or AAA. If all goes well, he could be available for the September call-ups.
