2017 Spring Training Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Lonnie baseball coming out of the game. Slammed into the wall. Hope he's alright.
 
He has been playing in the field and hitting. Now the question whether or not if he gets any pain in the back to back days and if he will get enough at bats before the season starts. Honestly it's the amount of at bats he gets in that will dictate whether or not he starts the season on the team.

You gotta figure out when Mar is joking around man...
 
This team is doomed without Chiz.

Who else can play RF except Guyer?

Michael Martinez! Our Savior! Lol

Though but I feel this is Chisenhall's last season with the Indians, so if Chisenhall is actually hurt, Zimmer would be a good fit.
 
Tyler Naquin. You then keep Austin Jackson for CF in a rotation with Almonte.

Spot on.

If Brantley and Chis miss the start, Shaffer will likely make the team.

Pulling for Willy Mo, though. :chuckle:
 
So what do we think happens to start the year?

Brantley on roster?
Yandy at 3rd / Josy at 2nd with Kip on 15 day?
Lonnie on roster and Almonte optioned?

Sounds about right.

Also, Carrasco starting Game 2.

Pretty much on Thursday/Friday we will officially know about Brantley and Chisenhall, but I really doubt either of them won't be ready to go. Wednesday is Carrasco's last spring training tune up, so as long as he is looking feeling good, we should start the season only missing Kipnis.

With the fact Jackson made the team, it looks like Almonte will be in the minors and with the amount Yandy has been playing 3B, I would be very surprised if anyone else is playing 3B.

Who do you project to be the Utility guy on the bench? I haven't really seen if they decided anything between Martinez and Gonzalez or on someone else entirely

I don't follow either that much. Hey @BimboColesHair ..... Is Martinez the new Jose from his shit years?

I'll forever remember him for making the last out of game 7. He's the new Jose.... Mesa.

Martinez is going to make the team and play 120+ games and you will like it
