Radio today. 1 pm vs. Toronto.

Not sure if FSD has it too, or not.

Nope.

Even though I don't see the team making the playoffs, I'm actually looking forward to the season. I usually don't get excited for baseball, either.

I have to wait for regular season afaict. DirecTV doesn't start beaming, streaming or something til opening day.

on ESPN.

A convo between Alan Thicke and Bobby Valentine would be pretty annoying.

Boesch just hammered one.

So is he done hitting for the year, then?

Bustah steps up to the plate....Ajax on second.

FUCK YOU JURRJENS! GO BACK TO DUTCHANY! ATTABOY BUSTAH! MY TIGAH!

"Brennan" is the broest name ever.

AAA/AA

Brennan Boesch
Casper Wells
Will Rhymes
Andy Oliver
Danny Worth
Charlie Furbush
Duane Below
Al Alburquerque
Daniel Schlereth
Fu-Te Ni
Adam Wilk
Brayan Villarreal
Cale Iorg
Audy Ciriaco
Jose Ortega
Jacob Turner
Zach Simons
Lester Oliveros
Omir Santos

who is your 6th starter there?

Brad Thomas or Charlie Furbush ("Furbush"? Really?) I'd imagine. Yuk. I hope they don't reach for Oliver too soon again, give him a good 3 months at AAA before thinking about it.

I think it will be Oliver. Keep in mind he's almost 4 years older than Jacob Turner, so it's not like he has much more to prove in AAA. Hopefully we won't need a 6th starter til' late-May. By then, Oliver should have enough AAA innings to warrant a call-up/spot start.

Fubursh is another option, but he hasn't pitched as well as Oliver so far this spring.

I just hope they learned their lesson from Bondo and Porcello and about 10 other guys the last 10 years.

lol. Zumaya already done after he "broke" the "scar tissue?"

You'd think they would prohibit him from playing Guitar Hero already. Sheesh.

Can't wait for Illitch to buy the Pistons and have Arnie get on this broken down mofo.

going for a 2nd opinion, why i posted

but yeah, Arnie needs cloned

it's all alpaca blood, roots & sticks

I thought Schlereth would be a primary lefty now that Coke is starting. Unless Fu Te Ni makes the team you have only Thomas as a lefty in the bullpen. With Coke being the only lefty starter you'd think the bullpen would be equipped to handle that slanted rotation.

Schlereth can show any control, he should be able to make the team. His numbers were inflated by some bad luck last year, I still hope for some good things out of him.

^ I hope so, but I cringed when he came into a close game last year.

Sizemore, Weinhardt optioned to Toledo; Tigers roster taking shape http://sbn.to/hOF7ad

Was Sizemore fagbreath to Tahoe or was that Everett?

Everett. Definitely fagbreath Everett.

@beckjason: Leyland: Rhymes is the 2nd baseman to start out.

DrRay is correct.

Sizemore was douche nozzle, I think.

I wonder what Vinny thinks of Sizemore being...

Makes no sense. I hope Rhymes does well but Sizemore had a better spring and is finally healthy. I'd expect Sizemore back by mid-may.
