    It is that time of year. Time to put your posts where your insinuations are.

    The deadline for this will be Friday, March 16th at midnight. This gives you four more days of looking at these guys.

    Good luck. Person closest gets their props.

    This season is probably the most predictable out of all seasons since theres like one uncertain bullpen spot and MAYBE one uncertain bench spot.

    Luckily for us he is injured with no timeline on his return. Guy is worthless.

    So sad (red). Not necessarily Gordon or AJ but as a whole that group of players is pathetic. Worst infield ever.

    Agreed all the way...but I forgot that. And knowing Ned and the "you play if your paid" thing with the Dodgers, I just figured for sure he is on the 25.
    I would go with Grabow then, for another LH.

    The following suggests Sellers is going to make the team considering he is out of options isn't he?

    Charlie Steiner this morning on the CO/LA rebroadcast: "the coaching staff is very alarmed at Sellers hitting a three run HR yesterday...theres' no way they want this guy swinging for the fences".
    Coudn't it be he just got hold of one?

    Yeah but i get what he's saying, Donnie told him right after that AB that he had to go the other way the next AB. I like that from Donnie.

    Plus, some scouting analyst put on twitter a good quote that I can't remember correctly but what he basically said that Sellers biggest problem in developing to an MLB hitter is that he knows he has just a bit of pop, so he thinks he has a lot of pop. Swings like a cleanup hitter when he should be hitting like a #2, #8 hitter.

    If he can calm down his swing, spray the ball, and use his good eye to his advantage, he is definitely useable. but thats a lot of Ifs.

    It's kind of badass from Donnie in my opinion. If Sellers could hit 10-15 HRs than I'm all for it, but Sellers over 150 games would hit like 3-5 but still go up there hacking like if he can hit 30-35. Sellers has been noted to have a great eye, and he needs to show that by being patient and staying within himself.

    For example, TGJ ran into one and hit a HR last year but would you want him swinging for the fences every time? Nah, I'd rather have him spray the ball and bunt and be fast and cool
