    GDT--5/25-- FRIDAY AT Red Sox

    notes, Markakis will be in LF and Acuna in right for the series, Sniitker wants to take advantage of Markakis’ experience of playing in front of the Green Monster. Also of note Gohara to bereavement list and Wisler recalled, I would guess he gets the other start on Monday's double header.

    What to expect for 2018

    What do you expect? Me not much looking at the roster. I wanted to have more hope but seeing who is projected on the roster makes me wonder if this team will come close to sniffing 75 wins.

    BA midseason rankings

    http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/2017-midseason-top-100-prospects-july-7/#iBhfxhCGI5lMEgLq.97 Acuna makes a HUGE jump from #62 to #10 Braves with 9 still in the top 100, top 76 if you want to get technical. A little surprised at how far Albies dropped, about the only surprise I can see.

    It is interesting to look at the splits so far this season. Colon, has been bad at home, even worse on the road. No one figured on him having an ERA 3 1.2 runs higher than he did in 2016. He is toast. Dickey, he has pretty even road/home spits and basically has pitched to about what we should...

    expectation?
