Around MLB 2017

Melvin Upton Jr released by Toronto per mlbtraderumors

[NinersSBChamps]

Hope Archer gets it back for Tampa this season. He's a fun guy to watch out there.

[Skeeter31]

Christian Bethancourt made the Padres 25-man roster as catcher/outfielder/8th bullpen arm.

[NinersSBChamps]

Tanaka looking terrible for the Yankees.

what did we get for him

what did we get for him

What's he worth?

[nsacpi]

What's he worth?

A spot on a major league roster. As I recall, we opted for another year of AJ's veteran leadership when we traded Bethancourt. So maybe we didn't have any room at the inn.

Mallex opening day LF for rays.

[cajunrevenge]

Yankees getting blown out.... glorious opening day.

Christian Bethancourt made the Padres 25-man roster as catcher/outfielder/8th bullpen arm.

He's not very good at any of those things, but this is fun nonetheless.

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

What about Markakis? Or really any Brave besides Kemp and Freeman?

Based on Spring Training, Suntrust Park is more of a hitter's park than Coors, so even our pitchers will have more HRs than MadBum.

[NYCBrave]

Don't know if it was mentioned, but Alex Wood starting out in Dodgers bullpen.

[msstate7]

Bethancourt is pitching. 4 pitch walk complete with WP to let runner at 3rd score

We will never catch SD for the best record for Beer.

We will never catch SD for the best record for Beer.

I thought Wade Boggs had that.

Didja notice who the first person was out of the ineffective Padres' bullpen was yesterday? Bethancourt! Worked 1.1 innings, 3 hits, 2 walks, 3 ER (a three-run dong to Seager).

Moylan: one-third of an inning, one strikeout for KC.

But but but... he made the roster.

There's a veritable plethora of ineffective ex-Braves in San Diego. In addition to Bethancourt, there's Trevor Cahill, Erick Aybar, and Jhoulys Chacin. I would add Ryan Buchter, but he pitched a grand total of one inning as a Brave.

When Chacin is your opening day starter, that really says something and what it says isn't particularly good.

[smootness]

We will never catch SD for the best record for Beer.

San Diego has truly outdone themselves in putting a garbage product on the field. Margot and Renfroe will have to be good immediately for them to win more than about 60 games.

EOF, Chaz, and krol say don't give up so easily
