Why did pittsburgh literally do nothing this offseason? Theyre going to finish 4th i think i like milwaukee over them

ehh
 
at least they have a very good farm system.

 

[Mexi]

Yes they do
But to make the playoffs and do nothing the next offseason was kinda lame

Lord, alvarez is still hitting cleanup.

 

[snipezo]

I read somewhere that CC's velo has dropped. High 80s on his fb.

Yikes

 

[RipCity32]

He also lost a decent amount of weight, didn't he?

 

[Teagz]

Yeah and his fastball wasn't that fast to begin with.

 

[snipezo]

He was hovering around the low 90s a year ago then like 93-95 before that, no?

 

[elcheato]

Average velocity was 91 last year.
 
A lot of pitchers don't throw normal speed in spring training as well.

 

[snipezo]

Well I mean if he doesn't get his velocity up, yanks will be stuck with an albatross of a contract.

They're the yanks though so I'm sure it's whatever to them lol.

 

[Elite]

We're "stuck" with a lot of contracts right now and still signed Ellsbury, McCann, Beltran, and Tanaka this off-season

 

[snipezo]

Which is why I said they're the yanks and they don't care lol. Money out the ass.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I think the Tigers are going to regret getting rid of Fister.. Porcello & Smyly haven't looked very good in spring training against a bunch of lower class players..

 

[Mexi]

I agree

I didnt like the fister trade for detroit

 

[snipezo]

Nobody's does lol

 

[Mexi]

I really dont like the tigers offense this year except miggy

Kins sucks
Ajax is meh. Im not terribly high in him
Vmart is cleanup lulz

Then a bunch of whatever

 

[Teagz]

VMart was good last year and was awesome in the playoffs...

 

[Mexi]

12 home runs in 2011
14 last year

Clearly declining. And thats your cleanup hitter

 

[elcheato]

It's Tribe Time.

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

It nat time bruh

 

[Teagz]

He doesn't hit for power. I thought that was pretty common knowledge lol 
 
 
Offense is gonna be composed in an entirely way. Not gonna be so reliant on the long ball anymore.
