Can't wait

Idk if it's just spring training, but these spring games are going so quick
Are they testing pace rules?

Many great story lines heading into this season. Are the Cubs up for all the pressure? The year the Yanks finally implode? I know its only Spring but this last crop of overpaid SP's are looking too hot. David Price's first pitch in a Red Sox uni was crushed for a double. An even year for the Giants. How does Mattingly fair in Miami while Dave Roberts takes over in LA? 
 
I like the O's offense but their rotation is "meh". The Toronto Blue Jays are in for a 80-82'ish season for the same reason. Calling Hanley to have the season in Boston the Red Sox paid for a year ago and its only a matter of time before Moncada Mania hits the bigs. Speaking of Cubans, watch out for Yasmany Tomas. I would also suggest buying up Bung Ho Park in those fantasy leagues. Both Lucroy and Braun are on the move before the end of the season. All in all, I think the Nationals are finally ready to live up to the hype. They take the NL East lead early and never look back.

Jays offense can easily carry the team to an 85-90 win season.

Ha, okay.

Yasmany tomas is trash

Delmon young part 2

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Tomas might not even be a starter.
 
Yasmany vs Socrates. Who ya got!

 

[Mexi]

Dbacks are gonna disappoint a lot of people

they are not going to be good at all

 

[Giantmetfan07]

And aside from Greinke their pitching isn't anything special. 

 

[A.E]

Figured the Met fans wouldn't like the Nats prediction.
 
And don't give up on Tomas guys. There's a reason the D-Backs paid a decent chunk for his services. There's many adjustments to be made, obviously, and he was completely mishandled last season. He started to slug once they put him in the field and left him. I'll follow the money and gamble on sophomore progress.

Their website currently has Socrates Brito ahead on the Depth Chart at LF.

Brito has been mashing while Tomas hasn't played much this Spring. He's been nursing a sore left knee. We have to take Spring with a grain of salt. Players (big money types) don't push themselves much in the Spring and many start slow.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

I believe Tomas will be fine.

 

[Mexi]

Tomas is a dh who can't hit

 

[snipezo]

He had an awful season last year. Holy shit.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I wish I could be this optimistic about Rusney Castillo.

 

[Mexi]

I forgot about rusney castillo lmao

Cubans have been busting lately
Guerrero, tomas, rusney, olivera (....and possibly soler but hes still young...)

Signing Cubans: The New Market Inefficiency
