I swear baseball has the quickest offseason.

Seems like they get about 2 weeks off
Most players played their last MLB game around October 1st or so.

So that's all of October, November, December, January, and 2 weeks into February before they report.
There's more baseball (AFL, Caribbean Leagues, etc) but that's a pretty good break.

It just feels like it goes by faster than any other sport.

:umad:

We always make deep playoff runs when we're counted out and barely sneak in the playoffs :umad:
You guys are screwed.

You don't have the offense to hang with the Cubs.
You had the terrible misfortune of Oscar Taveras passing away.
Your farm system is underwhelming to say the least.
You just lost 2 first round draft picks.
And your manager is a borderline retard...which is saying something given that he's a catcher -- one of the smartest positions in the game.

It's going to suck for the next few years in St. Louis.
Your only saving grace is that maybe financial constraints break up the Pirates sooner than later.
But Milwaukee is hot on your tail...

Yeah Taveras dying did hurt :mjcry:

But once our pitching staff stays healthy and does what they should then we'll be byke to where we should :jawalrus:

I'm not worried about those lost picks :manny:

And we always have top farm talent :ufdup:

The question is whether Mookie Betts will reproduce like he did last year.

I don't think he will, but I think he can be productive. There's a big difference between a .900 OPS bat in the lineup and an .800

Just 3 regulars slugged .500 or better last season for Boston:
Betts
Ortiz
and Hanley Ramirez

The big key to your offensive season lies with Bogaerts.

Sandoval should be a boost to our lineup this year, he looks to be in great shape from all the recent pictures and Shaw was borderline useless down the stretch last year, I got the Sox taking the East at least

I forgot about him.
He's a major X-factor, just because I think if he's right...he's capable of making great, consistent contact. He's a guy who could feast just bouncing balls off the monster.

We all know Panda can feast it's a matter if he do it on the baseball field anymore
