Pache is 2-2 with a steal in the other game

[msstate7]

Would anyone be against wrapping Freeman up in bubble wrap for the next 3 weeks and then giving him 10 PAs at the end of ST to get ready for the season?

Like Donaldson?

[msstate7]

Gotta like seeing touki, Wilson, and muller all look good today

[Enscheff]

I’m glad they didn’t get hurt.

Couldn’t care less if they were able to strike out Monte Harrison.

I get it, but I also like to see that they aren't walking a lot of folks and we aren't hearing report of reduced velo.

I know this is just preseason. I am very glad we didn’t trade Pache in a JTR deal. I think Pache (by himself)...will end up being a more valuable player. That’s not even mentioning it’s just for two years of JTR.

I think Pache will be a above league average hitter (not sold on him being a star...but that could happen). With his 80 grade D....oh my. I think if we “would” have traded him and even if JTR played well....we would be sick playing against him for the next 6+ years.

I really, really hope they hang onto Pache and Waters. I would LOVE to watch three center fielders playing each night.

The hardest thing to believe about Pache is that he's going to be a better than league average hitter.

He could be, but I do not think we have much reason to be confident about that.

But the defense by all reports should play near elite.

I was kind of taken aback by recent run of positive press on Waters. I was happy to hear it.

That’s great and all, but did he strike out Monte Harrison?
