Around SBN: Which Players Will Join The 3,000-Hit Club?

Gameday Thread: 3/20 vs. Mariners

Twice the fun today, since this afternoon's game is scheduled to be shown live on Fox Sports Arizona at 1pm, and then re-screened tonight on the MLB Network at 7pm [though it's possible that one may not be on in the Arizona area, since the schedule says "Subject to Blackout in Local Areas"]. Of course, if today's contest is like yesterday, Arizona fans will have as much interest in a re-run, as in tithing 10% of their income to fund Hohokam v2.0. Let's hope the pitching staff can keep things in check a bit better today - I'm hoping for something in the mid-to-high teens perhaps. Lowered Expectations, as Mad TV used to say.

This will also be the thread for discussion of SnakePit-Fest-SpringTraining-Palooza-Thon, due to take place at Tucson Electric Park tomorrow. Looking for someone to do the recap on that game, since we won't be home until 7pm or so.

Line-up and stuff after the jump.

Star-divide

  1. Stephen Drew SS
  2. Conor Jackson LF
  3. Justin Upton RF
  4. Miguel Montero C
  5. Brandon Allen 1B
  6. Chris Young CF
  7. Tony Abreu 2B
  8. Chris Snyder DH
  9. Augie Ojeda 3B
    Pitching: Dan Haren

Day off for Adam LaRoche, Kelly Johnson and Mark Reynolds. Not heard yet who is scheduled to pitch after Haren - if it's a repeat of Friday, this is likely a convincing facsimile of AJ Hinch talking to the bullpen...

So

Is Cliff Lee pitching for Seattle today?

Also

How often has Snyder actually started at catcher during Spring Training? It seems to me like every time I’ve looked, he’s at the DH.

I think they alternate

C and DH between him and Montero.

Lee is out with an abdominal strain, allegedly suffered when he collided with Snyder. He might miss the start of the season.

I'm working on an exchange program

For a few days, Rockkstarr will tell us how Heilman should start and Brian Custer will threaten the lives of anyone who might trade Augie Ojeda.

Since I don’t care too much for Heilman…Nice try though ;)

I heard Stephen Drew may be the one who could traded anyway, not Augie

They have to hit guys like him, too

Brooklyn Trolley (Artful) Dodgers. . .

From WIki: "When the second Washington Park burned down early in the 1891 season, the team moved to nearby Eastern Park, which was bordered on two sides by street car tracks. That’s when the team was first called the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers. That was soon shortened to Dodgers.7 Possibly because of the “street character” nature of Jack Dawkins, the “Artful Dodger” in Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, sportswriters in the early 20th Century began referring to the Dodgers as the “Bums.”"

Not so

Most starters are more like Paul Maholm (ERA+ 99) and Joel Pineiro (+98).

Even given

Chris Burke’s utter ineptitude, we basically got two relievers under our control for longer than we would have had Valverde. And both pitchers are roughly of Valverde’s ability.
