I would like to see them work out some kind of trade with Oakland for either Montas(prefer) or Manaea.

Cool seeing Bobby slug his first homerun of the spring

Or both. I feel like they are 2-3 starters away from competing this year. E Rod gone and I have no confidence in getting anything from Sale at this point.

Nathan being the only solid starter right now is concerning, still shocked they didn't try to add a few more arms.

Shaping up to possibly be a "let the kids play" type of year?

Yes I think they are willing to punt this season and see what they have in some of the kids. Unfortunately I think some of the top prospects are still a year or two away. The entire pitching staff outside of Nathan and Houck looks questionable.

I saw that rumor. I don’t think Story is even an upgrade over Kike. I think Story will probably be a .220 20hr guy outside of Coors. If they got him on a cheap short term deal I’d be ok but he doesn’t excite me. And I don’t want him blocking Mayer.

They desperately need SP, BP, and 1B. Bobby had a nice swing yesterday, but I'm starting to feel that he's more of a platoon player.

I also can't believe Travis Shaw might be on our opening day roster

Bobby took that personally with his 2nd homerun in as many games

Deliberately not playing Casas so as to not demonstrate that he’s ABSOLUTELY ready for a call up?
