Speaking of teams that could use a starter or reliever...   How are the Braves cutting 5-10M off their 2018 payroll,  while seeing a massive increase in net profit?

Liberty Media.

speaking of cespedes, what are the odds we see him and how productive will he be this yr?
Paul Sporer
1:43
Fantasy-wise, I favor pitcher 8th in some cases bc it doesn't curb the SBs of the 9 hitter, the most important example being the aforementioned Victor Robles
Craig Edwards
1:43
50/50 on the former, probably not very productive given the time he's missed.

Why is there no West Coast night game on Opening day?
Craig Edwards

Like Wu Tang, MLB is about the children.

Isn't Alex Reyes still rookie eligible? I'm surprised I never hear his name come up in ROY discussion, despite the injuries.
Paul Sporer

Having made a foolish decision to see a concert tonight not realizing March 28th was opening day, I love it.
Craig Edwards
1:44
He is. I thought about putting him down, but if he's only getting 100-130 innings, it will be tough for him to win.

Marlins fan here, would be somewhat disappointed if my team relocated!

haha i'm going to a show tonight as well. Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats (that's one band) and Graveyard. Friend bought tickets in November or so and I never even looked to see whether Opening Day would be a factor.

Where did we land on the T-Mobile Park nickname?
AvatarJay Jaffe

Is Reyes really rookie eligible? His B-Ref page says yes but he's got exactly 50 MLB innings and i have to think he's over on the service time
Craig Edwards
1:46
PSA: free mlbtv for tmobile customers,I think.
Paul Sporer
1:46
Same, Jay. These were a Christmas gift and I think I even said "Oh ya, late March, definitely before Opening Day"
You're correct, Craig
Craig Edwards
1:46
you need more than 50 innings

Think Torres ever becomes a 5 WAR type?
Craig Edwards
1:47
I do. I'd be surprised if he doesn't have at least one 5-WAR season in the next four.
5 Run Homer
1:48
I missed Brandon Nimmo just booking it to 1st after a walk
Henry
1:48
The Nimmo dead sprint to 1st after a walk made me happy
Charlie
1:48
Run Brandon, Run!
Craig Edwards

The Eckstein
Paul Sporer
1:48
Yeah, considering the debut Gleyber had that was only slowed by an injury plus being a solid middle infielder, he'll spike a fiver
Adam
1:49
I dislike the Nimmo sprint to 1st after a walk. It's eyewash of the highest order.
Paul Sporer
1:49
There's always one.

How long before Torres is at SS, LeMahieu at 2nd with Tulo riding the pine?
Craig Edwards
1:50
Soon?

odds that kimbrel sits the year out?

zero. at worst he'll sign after the draft
Craig Edwards

Robles put a good swing on that double.
Yankee Mustache

I saw one in the dugout
AvatarJay Jaffe

Mustaches are allowed, but they have to be neatly kept. See Jason Giambi's foray into facial hair several years ago.

Is this Yankees squad the biggest team in history by body size?
Craig Edwards
1:53
Guessing yes
would need LB+ to compare for era, though.
