nrockway Posted Sunday at 06:53 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:53 PM (edited) Drury can actually play, but what's the point? I'd much rather see any one of Sosa/Ramos/Baldwin/Meidroth/Vargas whoever play the infield instead of him. Oscar and Fletcher got sent down too...days ago but I'm just noticing. Oscar seems completely done-zo but might've figured Fletcher was getting a spot on the bench instead of Taylor...who Fangraphs apparently thinks is starting in left with Benintendi moving to DH. Might've given the spot to Ramos who I guess is injured...Drury seems like a better option than Taylor come to think of it.

vilehoopster Posted Sunday at 07:09 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:09 PM On the topic of Varland. A week or so before ST started, I was listening to various podcasts in my excitement for the season to get going. And on one of them, I think it was the Chuck Garfien one, Ethan Katz was a guest. Again, it was a day or two before official Sprint Training was supposed to start. Anyway, there were two pitchers that Katz was really high on, really talking them up about how they had improved and, whatever, his high expectations for them this year. One was Varland and the other was Cannon. The punch line is that both of them have stunk up this spring. I'm not sure what to think about that, but for one thing, Katz has lost a lot of credibility with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure age has anything to do with this. Expand I'm wondering if he didn't punch something or someone. They scratched him before the game a couple days ago and gave that reason. But I was thinking how many pregame drills use runners that can result in a collision at 1st. Probably just letting my imagination run wild. Lineup was probably made a couple hours before the game started .Still seems odd though that he'd be released. They need hitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s literally no one in front of them. It’s a desert. Expand So you think one of Wolkow, Braden Montgomery, McLain and Zavala will be a starting OF on Opening Day next year ? I'd make a bet on that. I'm always game for taking opposing view points on what seems to be an a longshot.

Expand good point. I like Taylor and, at this point, I probably should just realize Fletcher isn't a MLB player and doesn't have the speed to cover CF except as a backup. Team is probably better off with Taylor. Not going to lose sleep over it. Here's to hoping we trade with Philly on Robert and get back Justin Crawford somehow. Baseball America dinged his prospect status a little bit, but two outfield positions filled by Crawford/Montgomery is something I'd be excited for.
