Anyone tired of Montero yet? Not sure how long he even deserves a spot on an MLB roster at this point.

BTW: he has a 2.3% walk rate this year. He has seen the fewest pitches per PA on the M's...

1. Franklin Gutierrez (CF)
2. Michael Saunders (RF)
3. Kendrys Morales (1B)
4. Michael Morse (DH)
5. Jesus Montero (C)
6. Kyle Seager (3B)
7. Jason Bay (LF)
8. Dustin Ackley (2B)
9. Brendan...

[QUOTE=FWBrodie;25825610]4 games, 23 years old.

I understand he is young, but I feel like the only thing he has is the reputation that scouts gave him. He wasn't that good in the minors. I feel...

I know it's early, but does anyone else still think we shouldn't have tried to trade montero / or still be trying? I just can't see what value he brings to the team. He is not athletic, will have to...

SERIOUSLY!

How are more people not pissed about this? I'm pretty sure in at least 3 of Ibanez's AB's, there was someone on base. How the fucx does a manger justify batting a guy like this 3rd?...

Tonight's lineup

Guti CF
Seager 3B
Morales DH
Morse RF
Smoak 1B
Montero C
Bay LF
Andino 2B

Great game by Seager. Morse and Kuma were obvious stars tonight, but Seager quietly reached base 5 times tonight.

Funny, everyone called Kendrys "Kendry" but he prefers "Kendris." Can we find another Kendrys, so we can then refer to them both as the Kendri?

Little known fact: Montero is incapable of taking more than 1 pitch per AB.

First day of Ibanez and no Guti. Yeesh. I hope Saunders is ready to cover some ground...

:clap:

Anyone have any crazy opening day predictions?

I'll say Brendan Ryan goes yard and drives in the most runs for the M's tonight.

Totally ok with that. With him being our catcher now, I'm okay with him hitting lower and having less pressure to be the catalyst at such a young age.

In other news, checkout how weird the NYY...

Less than 24 hours away! I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning.

Work is going to go by real slowly tomorrow...

It's spring training. It's not supposed to make sense. ;)

Maybe I'm just being pessimistic, but I'm worried the M's might actually find themselves in the hunt come July.

With the moves we made this off-season (Morse, Morales, Ibanez...), we didn't add...

Over. Since 77' only 8 teams have had OBP under .300 and then M's own 3 of those... and they came consecutively.

I haven't been following these enough, so this may have already been asked:

Phater :cool:

I believe pitching to contact can be successful, but I think on the whole, luck and the defense behind the pitcher can cause variance in results over multiple seasons. The results of contact are...

Okay, can someone help me out here? Seems safe to say Saunders is a 1 - 2 win pitcher, but I can't for the life of me say why that is. I've never really paid that much attention to him, but just...

I like this mostly becuase it kicks either Beavan or Noesi out of the rotation. It's good addition by subtraction if nothing else.

There is defiantly potential value in acquiring Bourn. Not only does he bring 3-6 WAR, he allows you to remove a worse player from the roster (I'm looking at you, Hector and Blake).

Not to...

Honestly the Jaso trade. Ibanez is basically like what they did when they brought in Griffey and Sweeney, except this time they at least got the "veteran presence" in 1 roster spot.

Trading Jaso,...

If Zunino were ready to play today, I would understand. But he is not. I think the organization just under valued Jaso- plain and simple.

Not sure the premise is fair.

Yes, Jaso was traded for Morse, but Morse displaces Wells. Jaso was bound to be on the bench more often than not. So I view it as Morse getting time in place of...
