Sims named Misissipppi starter.

[Tapate50]

Man, great to have this back! Thanks in advance Rico!

[CJ9]

Soroka going for Rome.

[Oklahomabrave]

Rome is stacked.

[smootness]

Rome is stacked.

Yes, they are. Once Allard shows up, unless Fried or Toussaint is promoted by then, they will have a rotation that has 4 1st round picks and Ricardo Sanchez.

[cajunrevenge]

Wow, I thought it was a few more weeks until the minors started. Probably going to watch minor league games this year instead of major league games.

Giving up so early? We're gonna get it turned around starting tonight as Norris kicks off his cy young campaign.

[clvclv]

Rome in Asheville for 4 next Thursday-Sunday. Good chance I'll get to see at least 3 of the big arms early. Sweet!!!

[Hudson2]

The minor league threads will blow up this year I'm sure. We have a ton to look forward too.

Not happening. AJ thinks that since he's an old codger in there for "veteran leadership", he needs to personally lead the team to the #1 slot in the 2017 draft. If some of the other guys want to play well for a portion of the game, he's okay with that, but he'll take things into his own hands if necessary. Or more specifically, he'll make sure the ball doesn't go into his hands, if that's what it takes.

Norris was terrific. Awful early in the season to begin eating your words,isn't it?

Norris has always been a solid pitcher when healthy... he wasn't healthy last year and he is now... not to mention he's still not that old.
