I think he’ll be on the team next year.

Witt is going to be our 3rd baseman sometime next year. Him and Mondesi will make a very nice side of the infield.

Or he plays SS and Mondesi moves to CF or possibly 2B.

Witt should be in the starting line up day 1

Reds released Derek Dietrich. He hit 19 HR’s for them last year.

For the Reds and Dietrich, this ends what was briefly a very fruitful relationship. The former Marlin signed a minors pact with the Reds heading into 2019, earned a roster spot and then went into the summer as one of the game’s hottest hitters. Dietrich posted a ridiculous .304/.400/.841 line with 12 home runs in just 80 plate appearances in May, but his production cratered after that. He finished the season a .187/.328/.462 hitter with 19 homers in 341 PA, though that line was still 2 percent better than league average, according to FanGraphs’ wRC+ metric.

The 31-year-old Dietrich, to his credit, has consistently been a better-than-average offensive player since his career started in 2013. He owns a lifetime triple-slash of .246/.334/.427 (108 wRC+) with 79 HRs in 2,438 trips to the plate, though most of the lefty-swinger’s damage has come against righties. Defensively, Dietrich has garnered extensive experience at several positions (first, second, third and left). While Dietrich hasn’t graded particularly well at any of those spots, his versatility in the field and history of respectable offense should enable him to catch on elsewhere.

Any interest by the Royals?

Exhibition game at 7 on FSKC. Excited to watch these next couple of nights.

No game-day thread? Where the **** is Lew? This is all we have man!

Having a scotch and a cigar and watching the game on the back patio.

Have we beaned any Astros yet?

Trivia:


What Royals employee (and former radio DJ) first suggested we play music on the PA instead of the organ all the time?

Not yet. Save it for the games that count

Bubba gets a 2 run jack.

Spring Training and Exhibition is easy when the pitcher doesn't give a **** and throws FBs
