Less than two weeks away from actual, real MLB games. Sweet. 

 

Anyway, Hanley Ramirez hurt his thumb in the WBC and needs surgery according to Rosenthal. Also, the Reds are keeping Aroldis Chapman in the bullpen...WTF.

The worst part of this season is going to be seeing Travis D'Arnaud in a Mets uniform at the same time as Roy Halladay's arm falls off :(.

Yes things seem to finally be turning around for both our teams, knew this day would come eventually as your teams biggest weakness was age

I'd say our biggest weakness is, by far, our general manager. Age wouldn't be an issue if the farm system wasn't needlessly destroyed.

 

Not to mention an awful drafting strategy over the past 5 or 6 years that has not worked out at all, but I guess that can't be blamed totally on Amaro.

Late March: perfect time to do away with the 189 plan and make a desperation move for a player in rapid decline. Idiots.

Best he's looked in a while, quick bat this Spring and fills a need. Plays all three OF spots competently and will start in LF with Grandy out. DH platoon when Grandy returns. Free(ish) contributor. No complaints.

189 plan is still intact, Yankees paying Wells $11.5M this year and $2.4M next year, and some loophole allows it to count 0% towards the tax next season.
