2019 Spring Training Starts

[Nick]

Gabriel Guerrero and Isaac Galloway have been pretty good in the spring. A couple more names for the OF situation.

[fish16]

Pablo Lopez better be in the rotation. He is the guy out of every pitching prospect we have that I can see outperforming their alleged ceiling

[Erick]

Alcantara pitched well today. Young pitchers have pitched well in ST.

[lou]

They need to watch Pablo's workload the most of everyone, so I'm still going with Urena, Straily, Ca. Smith, Richards, and Alcantara to open (assuming health which I know isn't guaranteed for Smith). They are going to use at least 8+ SP anyways throughout the season, so Pablo, Chen, Neidert, and Gallen are all probably logging some starts. Likely a lot of them. It'll work itself out.

You forgot Romo

[Nick]

Was at the game today. Alcantara was lucky to get out with no damage in the first and threw a lot of pitches, but really settled in after that, looked dominant the last couple of innings. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

We finally got our Vet C signed to a minor league deal and its 34 yr old Wilkin Castillo

http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp...tting/2018/ALL

Has been in majors since 2009 BUT made Jayson Stark's ALL Unemployed team

Can't believe it's still possible to do an All-Unemployed Team on March 10, but here goes: 1B - Logan Morrison, 2B - Brandon Phillips SS - Jose Reyes, 3B - Danny Valencia LF - Chris Young, CF - Adam Jones, RF - CarGo DH - Evan Gattis, C -Wilkin Castillo

Hearing Caleb Smith probably starts on DL but ya still 6 guys for 5 spots

Smith IS healthy but he is just getting into routine this week so likely DL and few rehab starts

Adam Jones signed with the Dbacks 1/3M with 2M in incentives.

Does anybody know what Pablo, Ca. Smith, and Richards would be on a prospect level if they were still prospects? Are they FV45s and would be considered Neiderts? Better? Worse? Pablo was a FV40 pre-2018 (i.e., a Gallen) and Richards not even ranked in top 30 lists. All three have pretty good ZIPS/other projections, so I'm just trying to quantify this to a reasonable level.

This All-Unemployed Team doesn’t win 65 games.

Yeah, several years ago it'd have been a good team, but that list doesn't do much for me.

[Nick]

On the down side I've seen two Spring Training games now where he played, and Monte Harrison looks completely lost at the plate.

i really hope they let him repeat AA to start the year.

I can't be the only one worried about Alfaro's knee, right?

[Nick]

Hopefully they're just being overcautious with it being spring. He's out still because of him banging his knee on the rail going for that foul ball, right? I saw that play, it didn't seem like it could be more than a bad bruise, unless he broke a bone, but they'd know that by now.
