my guess is he will hit lefties at DH with EE at first and Lind on the bench

if he sucks....no harm done

Well for Jays fans, lets hope Lind gets his bat going before this is an option. Lind is turning out to be a decent glove at first base, not sure if EE can hold his own there.

Just think of the double -triple switches you need to get this guy to pinch hit for Lind. First, if Vlad gets on base, you need a pinch runner, then you need someone to replace Lind at first. Yikes..is it worth it?

They came to the same conclusion -- hence the minor league deal. Nobody wanted a part of the mute this year. Lind got into big funks last year, he'll probably cough up ABs to the mute.

yeah, he should have said it slipped

problem with suspending a starter five games is that in reality it is only a one game suspension

it would be a 1 game suspension to a pitcher if he missed his turn in the rotation - he doesn't it just delays his start by a game.

162 games divided by starting every 5th day = 32.4 starts
162-1 games divided by starting every 5th day = 32.2 games


so really, nothing is missed...
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

While Vlad has certainly lost a step or two, he can still swing the bat. I think his problem with getting a job over the winter was that he was demanding a major league deal and job. I think he might come in with "something to prove" to the experts.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

This was pretty cool.

For the first time in American League history, a team opened with back-to-back-to-back home runs. Orioles Ryan Flaherty, J.J. Hardy and Nick Markakis staked Baltimore to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning of a 6-5 win in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against Texas

Weird line for Rangers' starter Colby Lewis in that one -- he gave up five hits, all for home runs and struck out 12.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Lawrie gets 4 games for his meltdown. Of course he appeals. It'll get reduced to 2 games and he'll serve them in August. Lawrie is the getting, or is it already got, the reputation as a punk.

He makes me think of the Roids anger some of the players exhibited in the 90's and the oh oh's
