Maybe MLB sub with VPN showing you're out of the blackout zone. Not even sure that works.

Dusty just said he is working both Maldy and Castro at 1B. Sounds like we could see 1 or both of them at some point this year subbing in for Yuli


I'm guessing Castro would be the best option there. I assume he's the more athletic of the two

Jason thanks you. Nobody has ever called him athletic

I don't think so. Jones isn't likely to be a mainstay on the 26 man unless there are injuries. We need some versatility, especially if we carry 13 pitchers.

9th fastest catcher in baseball last year at age 33 (only one in top 10 over age 30) after having spent the last 20 years crouching ain't bad. Plays above average defense.

I mean he's not Bo Jackson but he's pretty athletic. I'm sure he can play capable first base.

Yordan needs to be the everyday guy at 1B next year. Make it happen, Dusty. Peel off those gloves, sweatbands and wristwatch and make it happen.

Now he's got plate discipline to go along with his sweet stroke, elite speed and chiseled good looks

No he doesn't. He needs to bat 4-5 times a game and that's it. He can wrap himself in bubblewrap when he's not in the batters box.

I'd be 110% fine with him as our David Ortiz. DH every game except for the World Series at an NL park where he plays first

I think he doesn't have the skills needed
Instead, we are resorting to use our backup catchers in a pinch

This is like complaining that Kate doesn't also have the skills necessary to do JV's taxes.

Well, so far Dusty is your guy for the bubblewrap. Good Lord, I've never seen a pro athlete so pampered after minor surgery. Wondering if it was truly minor.

Minor surgery that kept him out of all last year for a young guy with an injury history. When healthy he showed he's one of the best hitters in all of baseball. We'd be stupid to push him now for early meaningless spring games.

A LA Judge threw out a lawsuit against the Astros from a Dodgers pitcher that said they ruined his career

His lawyer had a negative career WAR, just like him. Should have looked at the advanced metrics

Get ready. With no fans last year, guarantee the Astros will be getting some boos as they travel this season.

It'll be a lot of boos all season. Trip to the Bronx will be tough

Hopefully we win a lot and shut them up

All this means is we're going to get badass Correa this year. I think all of the crap from last spring really turned him into a major leader in the clubhouse and he's not going to crap from anyone.

Let Correa and Lance give this team the edge they'll need when they go on the road this year. Even Machete has a little edge to him.

I think we're good.

We need to get Bregman back to his 2019 confidence level too. That was sorely lacking last year.

Badass Correa and cocky Bregman would lead us deep into the postseason

I'm sure whatever fans in attendance will give AJ a warm welcome. At least I hope they do.
