The guy's going to get the Mets...somewhere this season. Don't know if they'll strike twice with the division, but they could give the Pirates and Cubbies a run for a WC spot. And once you're in, that's half the battle.

Commissioner says the NL may have the DH starting in 2017. Why not change the rules to have 9 sluggers who just hit and 8 defensive specialists who just play the field then?

when the NL finally joins the 21st century and adds the DH, baseball will be fun again. at least for the fans of NL teams

Ok, this might actually be the year for the Cubbies.

Maybe they figure if they're more like the Yankees they'll actually win the World Series? Eventually?

I'm actually getting really excited for ST.
Can't wait to see the young guys hit the field. This is going to be a big year for the Phillies' future.

Greg Bird out for the year with a torn shoulder labrum.
This is not good, because the Yankees do not have a backup 1B for when Teixeira hits the DL with period cramps.
Brian Cashman is probably looking up Ryan Howard's agents number right now, unfortunately.

Brian Cashman is probably looking up Ryan Howard's agents number right now, unfortunately. You really dislike Tex that much? Except for 2009 and 2011, he can't stay on the field since joining the yankees. 2010 he blew out his hamstring in the Playoffs. 2012 he missed a ton of games with a calf strain. 2013 he only played 15 games because of the wrist. 2014 missed a bunch of games with hamstring and wrist issues. 2015 missed most of the 2nd half of the season with the shin issue. He just seems solf to me. His ass is a little itchy one day because he didn't wipe properly and he's just like "I better go on the DL"......Derek Jeter played with a cracked ankle until it shattered on him on the field. It's a sport, you are going to have aches and pains and strains and things are going to hurt.....be a man and deal with it. Like David Cone says ALL THE TIME on the Yankees broadcasts, there are very few days as a professional athlete that SOMETHING isn't going to hurt. Injuries aside, he's a stubborn hitter. They keep shifting on him stacking how many infielders in-between 1st and 2nd and they leave the ENTIRE SPACE between 2nd and 3rd wide open......has he even ONCE tried to hit the other way? Nope. Mark Teixeira would rather pull the ball 100% of the time as a left handed hitter instead of even TRYING to catch the other team off guard where there isn't a fielder within 100 feet. Mark Teixeira really pisses me off. Always hurt, refuses to change his approach despite the fact that every team has him figured out.......it's time for him to go. This is his last year regardless, but he's got no chance in hall of lasting the whole year healthy.

Tex is a weird case. Because when he plays he's REALLY good. But his lack of care at changing his plate approach and the fact he is very injury prone is just scary.
losing bird SUCKS hard. i dont even know what else there is to cover 1B. but they better find it quick

They can also plug in utility guys like Ackley or Headley in there. Greg Bird wasnt going to get much playing time this season anyway and after surgery, he will be ready to take over 1B.

I was upset with the Walker trade at first, but looking at things now, this Pirates team did not lose much this year. Once Kang is full strength the team is basically the same as last year. Though the pitching may be weaker I still think they are gonna challenge for the NL Central crown again. The season opening series against STL is vital to their success this season.
The last three years they have been sluggish out of the gate. Yet if they can have a good start and be decent through May, when Glasnow and Taillon are ready they will be a force to be reckoned with I believe.
