To spite Sherwin....Bortaz still has Jake....lucky for me, Sipp is gone. Lol. And we still have Rondon and Devo😂😂😂 I do not loathe either yet. I am cautiously optimistic for them both... |

With Altuve's nagging injury, there are even more arrows pointing to Kemp over Marisnick...

If we can believe what Hinch said during today's game, Altuve just has some soreness and there is no nagging injury. Judging from what we were told about injuries last season, I take that remark with a grain of salt. |

I am always skeptical because i don't remember when we ever got the whole story about injuries. Correa's "day to day" last year turned into half the season and he never was right. |

I still believe we were not being mislead as much as they minimized the negative possibilities that injuries could be the cause of pain. In other words, they placed an optimistic spin on what was unknown or unknowable. |

I haven't been following every ST game, but hasn't Devo just had one rough outing (his first of ST) and then two good outings?
And again, it's ST... They have the pitchers working on stuff. You can't go by just the typical stats to judge performance at this time.

Hope he can turn it around back to old form. |

He was even better the first half of 2018 (before health issues) than he was when he was an all-star. He had a 2.33 ERA with a WHIP below 1.000 and averaged over 10 K/9 the first half last year. His last dozen or so appearances trying to come back from the DL is what blew his numbers up. I think people are giving up on him way too fast. The guy has been pretty dominant in his career outside of the 8.2 innings he pitched in the 2nd half last year. 14-12 2.74 ERA .973 WHIP 255/236 K/Innings so far and we have control of him for three more years. Giving up on him now would be such a mistake. He may never regain his previous form, but that past performance warrants giving him a legitimate chance. |

I would not give up on the pimp stepping pitcher either...the team has 3 years of control and he doesn't cost that much money.... |

However, I agree with you that it’s just Spring Training. |

However, I agree with you that it’s just Spring Training. But again, he was great last year until his health issues. On pace for better than his all-star season. We can't let a limited sample size color our opinion so much. Devenski is not Wesley Wright or Josh Fields. |

I won't be sold on White until he shows he can produce over the course of a full season instead of just having a hot streak. |

Time to take out the excess garbage and get rid of Harris and Devenski. I get sick of watching Devenski strut in from the bullpen like banty rooster and then get hammered. He has literally sucked for most of the past two seasons. |

The three years of control is only an asset when the guy has proven he is worth keeping for three years.........Devenski has not done that. |

I won't be sold on White until he shows he can produce over the course of a full season instead of just having a hot streak. He has enough playing time at the major league level over the parts of his three seasons to be more than a full season's worth. In that time he has hit to a 113 OPS+ (13% above average) with 22 HR 32 Doubles and 75 RBI over a projected 162 games. It's certainly not all-star level performance, but the most recent 2nd half of that performance he has been an even better 140 OPS+ (40% above average) with 28 HR 34 Doubles and 96 RBI over a projected 162 games. If he even just hit somewhere in the middle of that it would be pretty impressive numbers. His career AAA numbers are ridiculous and his major league numbers, even including his rough 2016 stint, are pretty well above-average. He may or may not continue to hit as well as he did in 2018, but he's more ready for our 1B/DH spot than any available free agent. |
