odessasteps Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Quote On this day in 1973, New York Yankees pitchers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson made a stunning declaration—the left-handers announced that they had traded wives, children, and family dogs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 checks Baseball-Reference and finds that Kyle Schwarber has made 9 career starts at first base, all with Boston so maybe not that.. the only notable first baseman who's a free agent is Miguel Sano (who I'd imagine isn't gonna be ready to play baseball in a week), but it really might be easier to pick up another outfielder who's not making an opening day roster and move somebody else to first base for the next few months wonder if Bryce could play first base instead of DH in an emergency coming off of his elbow injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a cheap option until he eventually got hurt too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Yeah I had heard that Harper was starting the year on the IL but I didn’t know how long he’d be there. Also since this is a baseball roster and you don’t have to make a move until you have to make a move, Harper’s not on the IL right now so when that comes, it opens a slot for someone to be on the 26 or 40 man roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The optimistic reports are him returning basically around Memorial Day More likely it will be early-mid June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I'm gonna need them to find Charlie Hough. Because I'm sure even at 75, he'll be able to knuckle one across the plate in these. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I learned that Hough was the last player born in the 40s to play in MLB If anyone is curious Julio Franco last person from the 50s Mariano Rivera last person from the 60s Ichiro/Fernando Rodney where the last two from the 70s (they both retired after the 2019 season) There are roughly 20 players left from the 80s and that number is going down quick (BR hasn't updated the list so it still includes recently retired people like Pujols, Molina, Sergio Romo and Jed Lowrie) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 The 'fun' part about a team getting Harper back in June-ish is that they can sell that as being sorta like a mid-season acquisition if the team is in a spot where they need something after the first 2 months. Meanwhile in KC, Zack Greinke starts opening day, which isn't too surprising and Brady Singer spending time at the WBC where he didn't pitch after the Mexico game probably put him offschedule to start an opening day. I'd say a certain amount of the 2023 Royals is a test of how much of a positive change happens when you fire Mike Matheny and Cal Eldred and hire a new manager/pitching coach who have experience with Tampa Bay/Cleveland.
