Marte goes 3-3 with a HR, has a day off ans Sosh still benches him..

Tyler Skaggs will have his next start pushed back due to weakness in his shoulder.

lol remarkable. Some things never change.

He may use it in interviews from time to time, but I don't think anyone's ever really explained to Skip the definition of "momentum"...

I'd rather the opening day starters get their time in.

Should be back by March 15

Seriously, is Skaggs just one of those guys who may not have the body to withstand pitching from March to September/October?   Seems like he's been hurt a lot this decade.

btw... I wasn't serious. 

That said, I would rather Marte start over Escobar. His defense is better at the hot corner, even if marginally, but his bat is much better in terms of power and RBI production.

Nolasco so far this spring has been the best of the starting rotation probables.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Revere seems to be like he should be the regular LF with Maybin being the 4th OF. At least based on what I've seen so far this spring so far.

Agreed

[Angel Oracle]

Nolasco could be primed for a rock solid season, after a tweak led to dominant pitching from mid-August on.

Nolasco is a .500 pitcher. Has been for a decade. If he can stay healthy and eat innings that isn't bad, but I don't really see him as suddenly becoming dominant.
