Stripling had Borucki on his podcast this week, The Big Swing.

Among other things, they talk about being terrified of starting the season in Dunedin because of how hitter friendly it is. Borucki says he has PTSD from Dunedin.

My understanding is that steroids can remedy vision problems - just like Lasik/Glasses. I'm not aware of steroids being able to give you some sort of super vision if you already had perfect vision.

I did a deeper dive and it seems that the impact of HGH on eyesight is somewhat of an unknown. Most of the information on it is based on testimonials that suggest it slows the aging process and increases visual acuity, but I cant find anything to show that it improves vision to 20/15 like Lasik eye surgery so I may be wrong.

Bauer and Tanaka are likely gone. What's left?

Paxton has the highest upside.
Odorizzi probably the next best guy.

Walker would be a nice gamble for a breakout in our 4/5 spot.

Trade for Hendricks, Gray, or Castillo.

If no trade, I'd prefer to see Odorizzi and Walker. Would be a solid rotation.

After hearing Springer talk to the media today, I can't help but be extremely excited and pumped up for this season. Having him around our young stars for the next 6 years will do wonders for them and it sounds like he truly believes this team can be special. There's no doubt our offense is pretty much set for the foreseeable future with young prospects in Martin, Groshans, Martinez and more looking to join Bichette, Biggio, Guerrero, Gurriel, Springer, etc. If this team can hit with some solid arms for now and the future. This team can be a dynasty team.

Syndegard should be this teams number 1 target next off season.

We have 13 position players who could all be 2+WAR players, future is looking good.

1) Springer
2) Bichette
3) Teoscar
4) Gurerro Jr.
5) Gurriel Jr.
6) Biggio
7) Semien
8) Groshans
9) Martin
10) Kirk
11) Jansen
12) Tellez
13) Grichcuk

We're starting to have TB Rays level depth.
 
Matz was ass last year but he basically gave up a homerun every single fly ball. Career high K/9, and a solid BB/9.

Winckowski was intriguing for a while but it didn't seem like he was going to get a chance. Not protected in the rule 5 this past year.
