Not been much going on as far as I see . Puig still out there as far as I know.

Yes I don't know how losing Beltran will effect them . Time will tell and yes I agree not fair to fans if they don't make a real effort to put a winner on the field. We shall see how it goes .

Well gonna have to lay down , long day.

They are a tad short on pitching I believe , they need to address it.

Hello to NFL as well must be fantasy drafting .

I think the Reds will be good as well. Pitching may be a bit short but time will tell there.

By the way I do miss all of you , and our chats .

Been really busy , will be here more when games start. Just trying to get things caught up around the house and so on. Good to see you too . The Cubs really need a good starting pitcher and also a good middle reliever unless they have those out of the Farm system. I think they would be ignorant to trade Contreras . That's a no no , catchers like that don't grow on trees.

Part of that is Carlson , he's most definitely the real deal and switch hitter to boot. If he doesn't start the season up north he will be there before the years out. Regardless who they go with the Outfield D will be better for it both with Ozuna and Martinez being gone. I also like the signing of Brad Miller for left handed bench bat with power. I also like the balance in the pitching , wont be RH dominate we have plenty of LH talent to go with.

Its not broke, I agree with you and also on the wild card

Most writers agree , and the Reds could be breathing down their neck. Im ready to go and see how things play out . Nothing will surprise me Lol. I personally think the Cards are loaded. Time will tell.

Well the Sports writers mostly are picking the Cards followed closely by the Reds. Picking the Cubs in fourth in some articles. Guess what we never know what we truly have till Allstar break and neither does anyone else. But you could be pleasantly surprised. I'm glad in a sense Ozuna isn't there although I like him. Im ready to see younger players getting the shot. I know O'Neal can duplicate Ozuna if not exeed him. Carlson could be even better power from both sides . Brad Miller gives them a left handed power hitter off the bench. Martinez seems healthy for first time in two years. Im excited to see what kind of lineup they have. Lane Thomas is no slouch either. If Bader doesn't produce they have plenty to replace him with.

I will say they were confident without Ozuna or they would've at least offered a two year contract.

I could be wrong but I don't think Hank Aaron ever got a series win either. Neither did Ted Simmons but he was flat out great.

He had injury problems or his numbers would be even better.
