2016 MLB Season Thread Baseball • Page 24

Prospects of your favorite teams you are hyped about this year?

Rockies fans are going apeshit over Story getting the starting job. Can't wait to see what this kid has to offer. Hopefully not another Josh Rutledge

 

Vlad Guerrero Jr.

 

AJ Reed

I hope he's up by June, if not sooner

 

Matz had a great start against the Cubs yesterday. Can't wait to see what he can do with a full season

 

No one really I expect to make a big impact (maybe Naquin will surprise) but I'm excited to maybe see Zimmer up in September.

 

Gallo, Mazara and Brinson. Hard to choose between them, but probably most excited for Mazara.

 

I have like 4 of their top prospects in a league, hope they all rule

 

I'm excited for Aaron Judge. Bummed Greg Bird has to miss the year since Teixeira and/or A-Rod will inevitably get hurt.

 

The inevitable yank tank slowly coming

 

It's been fun watching the org restock the minors after a long stretch of terrible drafting (particularly in round 1) left the cupboard pretty bare a few years ago.

 

Definitely a few fun players there now, feels like they're in the cross of competing and building at the same time. I think the league is definitely better when they're good. I especially hope Frazier keeps crushing it as he rises up the ranks as a fellow daywalker.

 

It was awesome to see Frazier have such a good second half last year. He's been eclipsed by Zimmer as far as prospect shine goes but if both of those kids make it we could have a really fun outfield in a couple years

 

Steven Moya? Tigers have nothing...

 

Welp Molina's back up just went on the DL. Cards are starting out great with injuries this year.

 

i just read that. what the hell? hopefully this isn't a trend all year again.

 

Molina is already iffy with if his hand is healed. The guy they sign to take his spot I'm assuming once a week already down. Then their top two SS go out one of which was signed just weeks ago.

And Lance Lynn is out which no one seems worried about (FYI He is good)

I'm trying to be optimistic but I don't have a good feeling.

 

They'll start out slow and then become a wildcard in classic cardinals fashion

 

Cleveland officially drops Chief Wahoo as primary logo

Indians formally drop Chief Wahoo as primary logo

Just get rid of it altogether. If you're minimizing it, you understand it's a problem, so just drop it completely

 

I don't know how I feel about this.

 

At least it's a step towards hopefully getting rid of it altogether.

 

They've really been playing the long game with this, huh? Wish the band aid would have been ripped off years ago but I guess they're worried about the uproar from idiot fans who are probably the same ones not going to the games anyway.

 

Good for Cleveland

 

It's Opening Day...sort of.

MLB and the fans celebrate Opening Day more than any other league, so I wish every team started on the same day and we could get 15 games.

 

I feel bad for the Rockies, do we even have Rockies fans on here? Outside of arenado its pretty rough there.

 

My biggest problem with the beginning of the season is I'm pumped for baseball all the time and there are so many days off in April as opposed to the rest of the season.
