Let's see if we can finish off a sweep and take it the White Sox- another good team in a much different way.

One could have scratched their heads over leading off Arroyo. His history is much worse than Kike's, but no complaints, yet- cause it worked. Let's give Kike a chance. I don't see him as a lead off hitter, but I see Arroyo as one, even less. Cora knows what he's doing. It shows.

I'm pretty sure this team will go through some hard times and maybe even some very hard times, at some point or even multiple points of the upcoming season- maybe enough to keep this from being an extra special one, but win or lose, I'm liking what I'm seeing from this team, the upgraded 40 man roster and the farm. I've always been big on Cora, and this seems like "his team." The team also is showing the work of Bloom. Last year, we had our doubts about his "magic touch" on finding bargain basement over-achievers, but it looks like he just needed a little more time. Okay, okay, guys like Kike, Richards, Ottavino, Renfroe and Marwin have yet to come through, and they were pretty much his biggest pick-ups, but if they do, watch out! I'm also expecting more from Dalbec, and maybe we'll end up seeing more good from Houck. Then, there's a chance we may get something from Duran, Downs, Arauz, Munoz, Seabold and others. The under-the-radar guys are carrying us, at times, although JD has been THE MAN! Pivetta Whitlock Sawamura Andriese Cordero Arroyo These guys are pulling together, early. After losing 3 at home to the lowly O's, there could have been a horrible direction taken. JD nearly single-handedly pulled the team out of it, and we have yet to look back. Let's ride the Mad Max Mojo train, boys! This is getting very interesting not just exciting.

What a catch by Verdugo! This team is coming through every time we need it. It kind of reminds me of 2013, when many counted us out before the season even started. I'm not predicting 2013 final results, but this team is, by far, not even close to the one we had,last year. The 2019 team looked better on paper, in March, but don't count this team out.

Here's Baseball America's mock draft 2012: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2012-mlb-mock-draft-2-0-may-25/ 6. Correa 8. D Marrero The Bleacher Report and others had Correa going 3rd.

His under the radar acquisitions sure seem much better than last year's, so far. Whitlock Andriese Sawamura Cordero Bazardo Renfroe Some of last year's pick-ups are showing signs of getting better, including Arroyo. Others are in the minors and may yet contribute.

The only thing that matters is if Vegas hates you.

El Fuego!

Devers- be clevers!

We may end up trading him, 8 years from now, for an aging Betts.

Love the crooked numbers!

A whole bunch not hitting. Yankee updated OPS... .267 Odor .286 Tauchman .466 Bruce .508 Stanton .555 Hicks .561 Frazier .602 Torres .667 Wade .676 Urshela ______________ .847 LeMahieu Those doing well or better than their norm: .804 Gardner .846 Sanchez 1.002 Judge 1.555 Higashioka

They were lucky, but the Twins were lucky they didn't lose 5-2.

Betts would not have reached that from RF!

Maybe, later on, if and when he heats up, but I'd move him down, at least for a while.

Mad Max Thundering the Mojo!

I got Vertigo watching that!

Yes!!!

Close the Barnes door!

It's always "related."

Yup. Forgot.

Jake Cave & the Bad Seeds

Not quite yet.

Those kinds of lost opportunities always leave me with a bad feeling.

Need some more clean-up duty. KP!!!!
