How do you get a bone bruise without anything contacting your bone? Did I miss him being hit by a ball or something?

Spring break time in Florida. Maybe he hit it on the bedside table.

Rodgers. Guillorme has a history of being a spring training all star and going into a shell once real games start

Agreed, I think it's clear that Rodgers is our best bet at 2B.

I hope he gets regular time over Dubon

Would be great if Rodgers earns his keep at 2B and allows Dubie to be the super-sub that we all loved instead of the full-time player we despised.

What's the plan for Ivey? BP swing-man, 5th starter, stash in AAA for depth when needed?

Walk off double, but it took forever. Several guys fit 2 categories.

It appears there is no radio or tv for today's game, either from the Astros or the blue Jays.

I think whatever they get from Ivey is considered gravy.

Walkoff triple for me today. I mixed up 3 different players. There was a certain starter that I forgot had moved to closer.

One of my best/worst rabbit holes to go down is looking at first rounds of older drafts and seeing when guys were picked and the no-names/busts around them. It's fascinating in all sports, but especially baseball since 99.9% of guys never jump straight from the draft to the league.

looking back at the 2015 draft...

it was a draft to take position players...not pitchers

really glad the D-Backs took Swanson at #1...and the Rangers took some guy at #4...instead of Tucker

Any year at random is fascinating. I dialed up 2000 just to take a look.

The #1 overall pick was Adrian Gonazalez who had a great career - 317 HR, .843 career OPS

The #2 overall pick was a guy named Adam Johnson, RHP, who pitched 9 career games with an ERA of 10.25. That's what Minnesota got for a $2.5 m signing bonus 25 years ago.

Out of the rest of that year's top 10, 5 guys never made the majors.
The only other good picks of the entire round were Chase Utley at #15 and Adam Wainwright at #29, who was picked by the Braves, then traded before he made the majors to the Cards for JD Drew, who then walked the next season.

At spring training with my son today and tomorrow. Got here a few hours ago to watch practice. They had an autograph session when the gates opened for the breakout game. The entire starting 9 was signing. My kid and I each had a ball we got them to sign.

So we drafted 2 and 5 and now have the third pick on the roster in Brendan Rodger's.

Is it time to start paying attention to Cesar Salazar? His swing is looking strong this spring. The org loves his defense and ability to manage his pitcher/call a game. If the bat comes around, he could have some serious value paired with Yainer for the next 5 years.

3 Run HR 3/8

Grand Slam 3/13

I know, I know ST stats.

.368 BA
.455 OBP
.737 SLG
1.191 OPS
13.6% BB%
4.5% K%

Not striking out, drawing walks, hitting the ball hard. A lot to like in this small 22 PA sample.

I've said all along I'd be 100% OK with moving Caratini to clear salary and letting Salazar take his reps.

Dude can swing a little bit and he showed that last year with his knack for RBIs.

Ulola left the spring breakout game with the trainer... Pointing under his arm pit.

Damn. They're really excited about him. Working on some things mechanically to help his control, but when it all clicks he could be very good.
