Positional battles?

What battles are we talking about? 5th starter? 7th reliever? That’s about it, right?

by jimmuscomp on Feb 18, 2009 1:55 PM PST reply actions  

3rd base, outfield vs DH, catcher if Napoli is out for a while.

by Downing Rules on Feb 18, 2009 2:21 PM PST up reply actions  

I'd be surprised if those were battles.

Figgins will start at 3B. There will be a 4-man rotation through the OF/DH spots. If Naps starts the season on the DL, Mathis will catch most games and Budde will back him up.

I mean, you never know, but I doubt if there will be any suspense outside the #5 pitcher.

I don't know...I'm makin' this up as I go.

by ArkAngel on Feb 18, 2009 3:52 PM PST up reply actions  

Agree Ark.

Maybe shortstop…

If it isn’t Wood the team is blowing it.

by jimmuscomp on Feb 18, 2009 3:57 PM PST up reply actions  

It'll be Aybar on Opening Day

Wood would have to tear the cover off the ball all Spring.

I don't know...I'm makin' this up as I go.

by ArkAngel on Feb 18, 2009 5:09 PM PST up reply actions  

On a regular basis?

My guess would be Aybar, Kendrick, and Morales. Unless you count the starting pitchers. They’re pretty young.

You asked "What youngsters are we going to play?"

I answered your question.

Well I took Tony's statement to mean

“New” young guys would get a chance.

Besides it is not like they were going to sign a veteran SS, 2B or catcher.

I guess I already used my Manny bomb for the month?

by hauldog on Feb 19, 2009 1:56 PM PST up reply actions  

When Reagins said "We are going to let the youngsters play"

he meant “we dont want to sign any of the FAs left on the market unless they throw themselves at us, naked and crying, and play for 25% of their value”

I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....

Nothing about the night scene in Tempe?

Seems to me that the first four choices have been hammered to death around here already, with all possible data and opinions accessible via archives. The fifth choice is a step towards the dark side, as the Mariners found out last season. That leaves only my Option #6, which is not on the poll.

by Stirrups on Feb 18, 2009 4:41 PM PST reply actions  

I like this idea

so after option #5 in which we get to watch more games we hit this place up and then talk about options 1-4!

Give the young guns a chance...if they suck wellll...

Night scene in Tempe?

When I have gone there, it’s seemed like Leisure Village…without the bingo.

by sothball on Feb 18, 2009 7:06 PM PST up reply actions  

Dude. Really. You need a new wingman.

Tempe is home to Arizona State University.
ASU is home to the hottest coeds in America. As voted by many.

by Stirrups on Feb 18, 2009 8:20 PM PST up reply actions  

It's true

I’ve only been to Tempe once and I thought all that talk was just a bunch of cliches. But when I got down to Mill Ave. guess who was there doing their thing? Girls Gone Wild.

by turs12 on Feb 18, 2009 11:59 PM PST up reply actions  

Mrs. Wing-chick might have something to say about that suggestion!

OK. Your’e right. I mis-took Tempe for Mesa (or Chandler or Guadalupe or ???).

by sothball on Feb 19, 2009 8:31 AM PST up reply actions  

3B

If Wood shows big improvement they may feel comfortable enought to put Figgy on the market. A lot can happen with injuries (even those on other teams) that can lead to moves. Wood need to show this spring that he belongs in the show.

I would love to participate in this discussion...

but what is a “gage”?

Wikipedia says...

Something, as a glove, thrown down by a medieval knight in token of challenge to combat.

or

I am just

going by what Wikipedia is telling me.

down with the pos battles

Im ready for some baseball………It’s time to be thankful for a winning sports organization for a change instead of the crap fest that is the Buffalo Bills…….

12/19/08 - Thank you KLJ for coming into my life.

by norcaliangelsfan on Feb 19, 2009 12:30 AM PST reply actions  

the bills....

Who said anything about the lowly Bills. But I agree on one thing….bring on the baseball season already. I want to see some spring games. It passes the time when I’m not watching Nascar on Sunday’s, and college/pro basketball the rest of the week. That is until the regular season starts, then it’s all baseball all the time. GO HALOS!
