He's been 24 and 34 in the minors....no idea when he gets to the bigs.

Re: 2018 Spring Training Thread

So you are just referencing potential...got it. When you referenced Bichette/Guerrero in that vein, it felt like you were saying "I feel like they won't do much" which didn't make sense to me given that you were positive otherwise.

Ya, I meant from potential standpoint. Best I could think of were McGrady/VC since both were drafted by same team, coming up together, both hyped as stars.

Now you have Bo/Vlad as 2 of the top prospects in baseball who could both be on the team around a similar point in time.

Justin Turner got hit by a pitch tonight. He's been diagnosed with a broken wrist.

Hate to see players go down with injuries in Spring Training.

Hope he's back by end of May.

Right, my fantasy team has now been drafted, so they pack in this ST nonsense and get to the real stuff

Pisses me off to no end that he won't retire a lifetime Brave. We drafted him, developed him, and he gave us some great years. I get that we have been "rebuilding", but I would have preferred to keep him. Austin Riley better turn into something (the guy we picked with the competitive pick we got for the trade).

Probably looked like when Jennie Finch made a bunch of MLB players whiff, so much so that the outfielders sat down next to each other chugging water bottles.

I think Brian Giles was the only one to make contact (fouled one off as well).

Jays confirmed that Vlad Jr will play in the Montreal series next week!

Vladdy Jr. was chunky even back then!

Re: 2018 Spring Training Thread

The NL West continues to get interesting.

After Justin Turner broke his wrist last week on a HBP, Madison Bumgarner got hit by a comebacker and now has a fractured left hand.

EDIT: MadBum just has a broken left pinky. Still out 6-8 weeks.
