    Does later work for you? We can do 9 pm.
  2. a700hitter
    The draft date has been switched once again. The new date and time is this Thursday, March 8th @ 8 pm. Please let me know immediately if you can't make it.
  3. a700hitter
    I got your dues. Thanks.
  4. a700hitter
    How about this Friday 3/9 @ 10:30 pm?
  5. a700hitter
    Is the 11th better? How would a weeknight be for people?
  6. a700hitter
    Saturday, March 10th at 1 pm.

    It would be hard to get a last minute replacement for you.

    We have 10 teams for next week's draft. It would be great and more competitive if we could add 2 more teams. I sent out a dues notice by email.

    I think J.D.'s number compare very well with the elite sluggers. I saw them published somewhere recently, and the comparison was better than I had expected. My biggest reservation with J.D is whether he can stay on the field for 150 games each season.
  10. a700hitter
    That is true, and Porcello didn't earn the contract with his past performance or live up to it or after signing the deal. He still has 2 more years to earn his money, but after 9 years of pitching to a career 4.25 ERA I am not expecting him to elevate his game very much.
  11. a700hitter
    Players' pay at the $20 million level is largely based on past performance. Nothing in his past indicates that he is worth that kind of coin.
  12. a700hitter
    I think that he also had a platelet injection in his elbow during Spring training last year.
  13. a700hitter
    He said that it is impossible to replace David Ortiz. And especially not with Mitch Moreland. I am saying the last part.
  14. a700hitter
    4.25 ERA over 9 full seasons and almost 1,700 IP. He is a below average starter. For $20 million/yr, he stinks.
  15. a700hitter
    Cheap losses or not. Porcello has stunk onn2 out of 3 season. If wins don’t mean anything , certainly cheap losses mean less. Porcello was a HR batting practice pitcher last year. I would have considered bringing him to HR Derby as my personal pitcher.

    Swihart is still not an MLB catcher.
  17. a700hitter
    There will be a season ticket holder conference call with J.D. Martinez today. Is there anything you want me to ask him?
  18. a700hitter
    I haven't seen his ABs this spring, but last year he seemed to have problem with pitch recognition. I attributed some of that to the loss of Papi. He schooled the others about the tendencies of pitchers and what they like to throw in certain circumstances. Papi was a master at that.
  19. a700hitter
    Do they have enough payroll left to sign Arrieta?
  20. a700hitter
    That is probably a reason why they didn't resign Adrian Beltre.
  21. a700hitter
    Showalter never brings a single starter to Fort Meyers, year in and year out. That stinks for the fans. The gentlemen's agreement is to bring 2-3 starters on the road. I don't understand why no one has called out that smog prick, Showalter.
  22. a700hitter
    I am hopeful that last years problems were due to the bad wrists. I expect marginal improvement by him and better power numbers in 2018, but I don't expect a break out season.
  23. a700hitter
    He did fine with the slider when he is in slap mode -- which is a strange looking swing an much different from his power stroke. It is not just an adjustment with his wrists. I his case it is a hitch. My recollection is that U.N. also noticed it and found it odd. So, yes he can be successful with the slider if he is happy being a .280 slap hitter. if he is looking to hit for power, he will have trouble with the slider.
  24. a700hitter
    Agreed, but in years when he has been healthy he has also been very inconsistent shifting between the slapping to RF hitch swing and a smoother power stroke That is why I am concerned.
  25. a700hitter
    I am hoping that it was just an injury issue.
