Tyler White time!

Tyler slashing .366/.460/.585 with a 1.045 OPS, 2 HRs, 10 RBIs, 8 BBs, and 8 Ks in 41 ABs.

It's going to be hard to keep him off this team.

With reed and singleton sent down it's pretty much a done deal.

That hunter pence trade was a huge flop

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but Singleton has had 420 career mlb plate appearances. He should probably retire to preserve the number for all time.

It hasn't been that bad to us...besides Singleton, that trade's fingerprints are on Marisnick and Moran, Fiers and Gomez, Daz Cameron.

The Blue Jays claimed Jesus Montero off waivers today and designated catcher AJ Jimenez for assignment. I've seen rumors of us being possibly interested In him, so something might be done there soon.

Singleton is terrible. I wondering if Singleton went into a meeting smelling like pot and somehow that smell got our GM stoned into giving him his contract
Ag_07

The cotract is simply a big roll of the dice.

If Jon works out it was genius and saves a ton. If he doesn't it sucks the big one.

I'm not too broken up about it. We went for it and it hasn't worked out and in the grand scheme of things it's not a huge chunk of our payroll or anything.

Just wish it would've worked out for the simple fact that we haven't a MLB-caliber 1B since Bags was healthy.

Singleton's deal is small potatoes in a world where guys get tens of millions per year on the back end of contracts when they are past their prime.

Moran not sent down yet? When is final cut day?
Ranger222

I've read he's still with the team but already told he will not break from camp with them.

Tyler White has been told he made the team.

I think they want Moran to get as many at bats vs major league pitching as possible. So far he's been looking good. Him and Reed could be good additions later this year.

Moran will start the year in AAA, but something tells me we will see him soon. He's hit pretty well this spring. Depends on how Valtron does.

Singleton was optioned to the minor league camp along with pitcher Michael Feliz.

Pitchers Jake Buchanan and Cesar Valdez, catcher Tyler Heineman, outfielder Eury Perez, first baseman A.J. Reed and infielder Joe Sclafani were reassigned to the minor league camp.

Springer, Gomez, and Tucker all have homered already.. Tyler White sent one to the warning track....... All against Folty.

Springer with another dingers

Correa has a double and a triple already.

Rasmus with a double

Up 9-4 in the 4th inning
---------------------------------------
Rasmus has been hitting the cover off the ball this spring. Hopefully he does the same in the regular season.

Unfortunately, another stinker by Fister. The back of the rotation is going to take some experimentation, at least until McCullers is back. Would really love to see someone like Feliz at least get a couple of starts to show what he can do.

Correa is hitting .432 on the Spring. Think he is ready for the season to start?

We traded Dan Strailey to the Padres for a catcher.

Dennis Lin @sdutdennislin

Source: Padres are trading Erik Kratz to Houston for Dan Straily. @EvanDrellich first mentioned Straily in deal.

Kratz is a 35 year old catcher that was signed to a minor league deal by the Padres. Wow.

I guess Luhnow just wanted something for Straily since he's out of options and was about to be DFA'd

No way he lasts until ASB before being called up, right?

You wouldn't think so. Sucks for him. He's hitting .385 this spring and didn't make the roster.

All depends on how Valbuena is doing in my opinion

Haven't looked into it lately, what are the current ramifications for Reed/Moran on service time? Are we looking at a deal like we have seen in the past where they just have to sit out 30-50 games to get them under team control for an extra year?
Ag_07
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I think White's versatility and his ability to play 3rd gave him an edge to Reed. Now if Valbuena struggles White can play 3B and Marwin can play 1B or you can mix and match the three of them. I think that allows us to keep one more pitcher like Wandy on the roster. With the questions surrounding the back end of the rotation I think he'll be nice to have if needed.

Guessing Kratz will hit the road once Stassi comes back?
