Watching the DC broadcast makes me want to puke. Losing the Series to these guys last year still sucks.

If you have mlb.tv, you can switch the audio source to the radio feed... It's infinitely more bearable.

Those of you who know, who is this Jones guy playing first? Don't recall his name mentioned. I caught a little of the game yesterday, he's a good looking dude, very long, good frame.

He was in Round Rock last year at 1B. He's already 25 years old after playing 4 years at Gonzaga.

He hit .291 with 22 HRs last year

I assume he was the every day 1B when they weren't trying Yordon or Tucker there?

Looks like he had 68 games at 1B, 15 at 3B and 60 in OF.

Before last year almost all of his games were at 1B.

Doesn't look like today's game will be broadcast anywhere. ATT Sportsnet felt a replay of last nights Rockets game is better TV.

It seems like we have clear injury contingency plans at almost every position except Yuli at 1B. Hopefully we don't have to worry about this, but it would be interesting to see how we manage 1B if he has to miss time this year.

We've recycled through alot of guys who could play 1B the last 3-4 years. Marwin was a default guy for a few years but he's gone now. White and Singleton turned out to suck. Beer was an interesting candidate. JD Davis could play 1B too.

Perhaps Diaz would get a look. Maybe Tucker or Reddick could eat some innings there. Doesn't sound like Yordan is an option there (at least not right now). I'm kinda thinking Taylor Jones might be first man up if something happens to Yuli.

It is

As much as I love Astros baseball ST games are awful to watch on TV. I always end up starting them and by the 3rd inning in finding something else.

Diaz is first man up. He is the utility guy and played there often last year. I'd think next would be Tucker is it is just spot duty. If he is out extended then you may look at bringing someone up. But short stints I'd imagine Mayfield would be the first called up

Yes, Diaz can play about every position, that's his 'value'

If Diaz can have a solid season he might be a good trade chip, even at this years deadline if Toro and Jones are both ready.

Fair point. Didn't realize Diaz logged 161 innings at 1B last year. Hopefully he'll stay healthy enough to be a true utility guy when we need him this year.
