MAD597 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 We would lose 130 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Homer the Brave Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 We would lose 130 gamesGood one!Really, I don't see us any worse than last year. The lineup right now is no worse than last year, and the young rotation should be more seasoned. The bullpen? Historically bad in 2015, certainly has to improve. Same bad manager so that's a wash. Based on the current lineup, I'll say 77-85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Olivera will be in LF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Homer the Brave Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Cabrera at 3rd then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 In the scenario of if it started today it would be Garcia. We're still shopping for 3B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 C - Bethancourt1B - Freeman2B - PetersonSS - Aybar3B - GarciaLF - OliveraCF - BournRF - MarkakisBench: Pierzynski, Swisher, E. Perez, Castro, CiriacoSP: Miller, Teheran, Norris, Wisler, WeberRP: Grilli, Vizcaino, Withrow, Banuelos, Krol, Winkler, Marksberry or McKirahanCould be anyone almost for that 5th starter spot, but I think it will be either Ryan Weber or Williams Perez. I think they have Foltynewicz start off in AAA to re-build stamina after his blood clot scare. The reality is that I think they will definitely have at least another catcher and LH reliever added to the club before spring training.

The reality is that I think they will definitely have at least another catcher and LH reliever added to the club before spring training.I look at all that and say myself that I could see a .500 season. However, I look at the man wearing #33 in the dugout and lose all hope. His absolutely horrible handling of a bullpen, his piss poor inspirational skills, his inability to reach his players in terms of instruction. I mean, some of these players will never reach their potential with this man calling the shots. They'll go somewhere else and thrive if they were to leave. This man is kryptonite, or the opposite of Viagra in terms of bringing out the best in his players. Roger McDowell is another piss poor excuse for a coach. Answer this: What pitchers have progressed under him and NOT developed arm problems? Most pitchers regress under him. All of these pitching prospects we get will be useless and not develop under his tutelage. Why can't everyone see this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
