  1. People complaining about right field and DH: by rate stats Dom was one of the best hitters on the team last year. Luke Raley was one of the best hitters on the team in 2024 when he was last healthy. Rob refsnyder platoons at DH with Dom and he has absolutely murdered lefties in his recent career. These positions stand to be super strong this year imo.

  2. Um morosi doesnt even get how this roster will be constructed. Canzone is not an OF, he will be the DH along with Refsnyder. Raley and Robles will battle for that RF spot. Then I am calling it now, Colt, Cole and Donavan will all make the roster out of spring. Colt getting majority of at bats at 3B, Cole at 2B, and Donavan starting 5 days a week between 2B, 3B, LF and RF. This roster is absolutely stacked. We will add one more bullpen piece before the season starts and will head into the regular season with the best roster in the AL!

  3. I really loathe the game of prognosticating numbers. Stelton kept hammering on "we can't expect Cal to match '25" and "we can't expect the rotation to be as great as it was in '24" … OK, but dude, nobody expected CAl to hit 60 last year and we got that. Nobody expected Polanco to post a wRC+ 128 while hitting better than .335 all yr with RISP and nobody expected Robles to go down in the opening month.

    Point is things happen every year. Players rise and others fall. The team will find a way. I think Cal will hit 50+ because he's special w/ that torpedo bat; I think Julio goes 40-40; I think the pitching staff will be closer to '24 level with Kade Anderson coming in in July to add another dimension as a lefty; I think Arozarena on a contract year is going to go nuts; and one final one, I think a healthy Vic is going to turn heads like he did in '24 when he first arrived.
