I will try to calm you down.

Luis Arraez is projected by some to win the batting title.
Through his age 26 season, Jose Berrios is very similar to Trevor Bauer. When Trevor Bauer was 27, he had a 2.21 ERA and was a Cy Young Candidate.

2 new relievers now too. Colome, and the guy from the Giants we gave Lemonte Wade Jr. for.

What is the story with the new guy we got for Wade? I as he in the twins system before?

Shaun Anderson I believe. 3 ERA last year. Nasty slider, not much else. 90-94 fastball.

This won’t do anything for anyone’s ability to calm down

I'm a little concerned that the lineup is essentially the same as last year's.

Except Cruz is another year older, and Donaldson is another year older and another year...hurter.

Lineup was really hurt last year by the dejuiced ball, so maybe going with Simmons is the right move to focus on upping defense.

Bullpen moves have definitely improved my mood there.

Cruz is like Brady. You roll with him until he proves you otherwise.

Most exited guy after watching this is the ground ball machine Randy Dobnak. Anything to the left side is now toast.
I honestly hadn't thought of that. I wonder what his era will do with this. His biggest problem was getting outs with people on base, and sometimes that was from errors.

I love me some Randlebars but if we could somehow get his era real low because of good defense I would be all for trading him. I feel like that’s a balloon just ready to pop. Kind of like it did last year. I absolutely do not trust him against teams with pop like the Yankees and probably the Sox too.

I'm pumped. I'm just hoping I we can actually go see the team in person this year! I'd be all for getting one more quality starter, but at this point I'm not holding my breath.

Is Odo signed by anyone yet?
