Wow! you guys really take advantage of the “open thread.” Finally, a fun piece & the comments never once address it. My Charlie Brown & Lucy Van Pelt standees are highly pissed. “Rats!”

I couldn’t agree more. A well run state would spend it’s time attracting high paying jobs so it’s residents would have a future. Legalizing pot just shows me how desperate they are for cash, and how lost they are for leadership.

Also, I wonder what they’ll do with Barreda and Stoneburner since imo the Yanks might still want to develop them as starters for now.

If you wind up being 80% correct, would that be good?

Gracias.

Last one, people, here we go. This should be our collective best guess. I also added a blank spot at the big league level for whomever we sign with that mysterious 2M for LF (like Reed Johnson or something).

Feel free to cut and paste this shizz for your post, Nostra:

Let’s all laugh at how incorrect this is later with the benefit of hindsight.

1) Noesi only made nine starts in Tampa last year, so I bet he at least starts there and bumps Zink to the pen.

2) I really don’t know about Laird. His performance warrants a promotion, but they came down hard on Kontos when he got pinched (that was during the season, though). I’m guessing he starts in Trenton. Just a hunch.

3) French is just an org guy and can be benched.

4) Rabago playing basically fulltime with SI, at a different position almost every day. I bet he does the same next year, likely with Charleston to start.

5) There’s a zillion candidates. Ryan Flannery, Ben Watkins, Kelvin Perez, Charles Nolte, Dan Miller, Ronny Marte, Craig Heyer, Julian Arbalo, there’s way more bodies than spots.

Matsui and Vlad are nothing without the segways, so it’s a toss up between Giambi and Molina. I’d go with Molina because he’s much faster (relatively speaking) than JG.
