Jyeatbvg 909 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Projected lineup: George Springer Cavan Biggio Bo Bichette Vlad Guerrero Jr Teoscar Hernandez Lourdes Gurriel Jr Rowdy Tellez Randal Grichek Danny Jansen That's juicy. If Jansen can live up to the hype and Teoscar is for real this lineup will do some damage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would have guessed he would be their #1 catcher Quote Link to post Share on other sites
exaulz 1,145 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 New RR projected lineup with Brantley added. Brantley at 4 doesn't feel right. I'd rather see Biggio, Brantley, Bichette and Springer in that order. If Biggio isn't leading off, better to put him 9 and let Teoscar and Vlad hit 4/5. And yeah Kirk needs to be the starter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KingJoffrey 938 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Brantley to the Astros..this is great news for springer in keeper/dynasty leagues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fluffy69 51 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Astros dodged a bullet with the brantley signing, TO lineup is going to keep some pitchers up at night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lorr 19 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Said won’t miss more than a week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoHablaIngles 541 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Just now, Lorr said: Said won’t miss more than a week Fingers Crossed but I have a hard time believing this. Obliques are tricky, and the fact that it was described as a grade 2 means that the team should proceed cautiously or risk him aggravating and missing another month or two like Aaron Judge 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's been reports of abdominal pain throughout camp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Put him out for a month and a half and he was a shell when he came back. It was another couple months before he started getting going again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST. STEVEN 4,494 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Yeah obliques can linger and really worsen if not allowed to properly heal. I have a terrible feeling this is gonna be an issue for quite some time...ugh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TrueToTheBlue 357 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 With some uncertainty around this injury, where would you take him in a standard redraft? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST. STEVEN 4,494 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Had another MRI today, results not clear but they are still calling him 'day-to-day'...really wish they would just IL him, but whatever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrueToTheBlue 357 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Was this a planned MRI? Or something they just decided to do today? Trying to get a gauge on if he’ll be ready for opening day or not. Seems like even if he is he’ll probably be at DH for the first few games of the season at least Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have tickets to sell, there is no way they're going to deliver bad news until they absolutely have to. The Indianapolis Colts were all-timers on this front. They strung along the "Peyton Manning returning any day now" for like half the 2011 season. When I read that he had had a cervical fusion I had to laugh as there was zero chance of him playing that year. Those PSLs weren't going to market themselves, though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rrrich46 208 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Any Toronto locals have an update? I'm assuming he's going on the IL, backdated but when? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ST. STEVEN 4,494 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Friday that George Springer (oblique) could return in time for the team's home opener on April 8. Springer suffered a Grade 2 strain of his left oblique in mid-March but is making nice progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
