It's shocking what a talent bereft major league team this is.

Lee is a serviceable 1B. I like Altuve at 2B. Lowrie is adequate to decent at SS. We have a big hole at 3B. JD is playing okay in LF. I like Schreefer in CF. Bogusevic is a work in progress in RF. Castro is another black hole to me.  So, we're not terrible this season, but we're not good.

Three out of eight every day starters would not start on any other team. They might not MAKE any other team.

At least two, maybe three, maybe four more would not start on any average team.

I hope Gamels gets dotted in the back with Norris' best fastball tomorrow. Too bad he was leading off the inning when Cruz faced him.

The glass is partially full and you only see drops.  There are plenty of marginal rosters in the major leagues. This team probably won't even be in the bottom five; it is not some historically bad club.

Other than Johnson, I'm not buying what you are selling.

+1 Chuck has a bee up his bonnet right now about the club, but it really is a hangover from the past regime.

Let's just say that I'm a cautious buyer who is not willing to commit to baseball hari kiri at this point.

Gamel lowered his shoulder into Castro. You have to dot Gamel the next time up, or the pitching staff has no nuts.

For those of us that missed it the first time around...  LINK

I'm with Mr. Happy here...
