No one even hit above 40 last year in the NL, definitely under. I'd say above 30 though.

Over/Under 40 HR for Goldschmidt?
Fantasy projections are 25-30 :/

Over: 77 homers.

Someone doesn't appreciate my love for Goldschmidt.

Tigers are obliterating the Braves' highly-touted pitching prospects right now.

Julio Teheran has surrendered FIVE home runs and gotten three outs today vs. Detroit.
I know this is spring training and I know the Tigers are facing young pitchers (though highly-touted), but holy hell.
EDIT: Austin Jackson just went yard too off Teheran.
In three innings, all these guys have homered today: Jackson, Fielder, Raburn, Boesch, Peralta, Avila, Young

Really Xio?
It's like the first game ... of freaking Spring Training. Pitchers are just starting to get their arms stretched out.

Ya Bauer limited his long toss to 240 feet instead of 300

The McCutchen contract is an absolute steal for the Pirates.

Cutch is worth so much more than that.

I absolutely love the contract he signed for. I'm sure he knows he's worth more and if he held out longer and had a great season, he could get close to 80 million dollars. He said a few weeks ago that he liked Bruce's and Up's contracts and was OK with that.

What a great thing to wake up to. Made my week already. Finally feels like they're actually trying to field a decent team.
I'm legitimately excited for Pirates baseball.

Makes McCutchen much easier to trade in the next year. Sorry Hines.

I was spot on. I said the following on the day it was announced:

It's a great deal for both sides so I'm not sure what you're thinking. Kid is going to be one of the best players over the course of the deal.
