Chum Bucket

by craig on Feb 18, 2008 8:13 AM EST in News and Rumors

Happy President's Day! Or if are like me and have to go to work today -- Welcome to another Wretched Monday!

Today is the first workout for pitchers and catchers, and if you happen to be in Jupiter around 10:00 a.m. it will be taking place on the back fields. If you should attend, let us know all about it.

This is the normal offseason daily Chum Bucket. A place where you don't have to talk about baseball, but good luck getting anyone else to respond if you don't. It's that time of year again. Come to think about it, it is always that time of year.

Have a Great President's Day or Wretched Monday, which ever is the case for you.

Wretched Monday here.

Here's an above-average season preview from Yahoo Sports that I came across.

Not exactly an insider's perspective (mainly by naming Castillo as the starting 3b and including Nolasco in the rotation), but it's not entirely dripping with pessimism.

yahoo

just read the yahoo preview. I was actually fairly impressed. Now the average baseball fan looks at our lineup and giggles. But I'm actually really excited. The young talent on this squad is unmatched in the league. The typical intelligent fish fan has adapted to not focus on the present but on the potential successes of the next few years. As the team matures and the management adds some veterans the win column will begin to appear more pleasant.
What irks me now is that the successes of two years ago seem to be impacting our current ability. The injuries are unacceptable and most happened under girardis reign. If I'm cashman I keep my eye on Hughes and the like and protect my investments to prevent what is currently happening with the fish.
