Salvy's offense was already limited. He will probably never be a very productive player again.

Yep. Get ready for a few years of Salvy as a bad DH
:adios:

I always thought the knees would get him, not the elbow

Should have traded him when you had the chance.

They were never even considering trading Salvy.

yeah, sucks to lose a year for a guy whose career is likely on the downswing.  If he can come back and DH, and hit 250 with 20 or so HR's and be the clubhouse guy he's always been that will be good.

We've got some talent at catcher in the system, probably not going to help this year but after this year hopefully he can mentor one of them to be the next guy.

So 2019 is year 2 of the rebuild.  Any thoughts on when the upswing might realistically happen? I would assume 2021 might be the earliest we see any type of real competitiveness.  Farm system is still in the bottom half of the league,hopefully we drafted well in 17 and 18.

This worked out well. I'm glad we were able to replace Salvy with a good catcher.

So first time spring traininger here, what should I do besides enjoy the game?  Is there anything special I should do while I’m there?

I hadn’t thought of this, thanks for the suggestions!

I can't express how much I hate this 3 batter rule.

All the mound visit changes, inning break changes, all star voting changes, trade deadline changes, and roster size stuff sound like logical, well thought out and smart ways to improve the way baseball is experienced by fans.

The 3 batter minimum rule is so ridiculously stupid.

I don't think the people running MLB actually enjoy the game. That's the worst part. Give the game a chance to breathe and continue to evolve.

If they want to speed up the game, just get rid of instant replay.

get rid of instant replay and warm up pitches for relievers. they should be warm when they arrive on the mound. also eliminate mound visits. they are pointless.

Also, bring back the bullpen cars. Those things were awesome.

Spring training was a lot of fun.  Salt River Fields was pretty cool.  Will definitely try and go to ST again next year.
