Ive said it for a few years now. Stop moving the guy around the diamond. His versatility is a major asset when putting together the roster After the roster has been set, he should be sticking to one spot (1B, 2B, 3B if we have to) until crunch time of the season when we may have to make a deadline acquisition and then he could move elsewhere for the playoff run. But this moving around all season can only be a hindrance to one of your best hitters. He will say it doesnt bother him, and maybe it doesnt, but is sure doesnt help him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I hope J-Mart is ready to see some at bats. I have a feeling this is going to linger for Carp. Also, I totally agree about moving Carp around. He needs to be at first. He's too poor of a defender everywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to imagine that there's at least a 3 year, $60M deal sitting on the table at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Lynn signed a 1 year deal today with the Twins for $12 million. Yet another FA who overestimated their market. Should have took the QO we offered. I was worried he might sit out till June and we wouldn't get the comp pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I hope Weaver's breaking ball continues to progress. He's dealing now and we could sure use a good season out of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Miles Mikolas had a fantastic start 3rd start. Was hitting 97 on the gun and missing a ton of bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I read he was working on some things (pitch selection & location) with Maddux last week. Looks like it helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) One day people get frustrated with our offense. Next day team scores 11 in the first 2 innings. Edited March 13, 2018 by MOSteelers56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ST, so not sure why people are getting all bent up about it. We have people in the daily line-up who won't even be on the roster and the regulars are just trying to get into shape and working on things they won't be during the season. I'd actually be more concerned if they were raking non-stop lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yairo Munoz is having a fantastic spring. He keeps hitting and has been playing very good defense, even from the SS spot. He has the versatility we're looking for for that MIF Utility spot. I think he has a legit shot to make the team, although Greg Garcia is out of options...

But Munoz is really making it hard for them to send him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of other rules and factors in that equation, too. It's my understanding that the Cardinals will gain a pick after the sandwich picks at the end of Round 2.

MOSteelers56 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Waino with another strong outing. I'm hoping this is a sign of things to come for the season. Hopefully we can utilize the 10 day DL to keep him fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll come after the 2nd round instead of the 1st round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
