    Would they expand rosters?

    this is a huge need.  Only 46 game active and 53 total right? That's way too low. NBA has 15, ie 3 for each position. If the NFL did that, have 66 + 2 specialists. But compromise with 60 and each be game active. Too many very talented guys don't have jobs due to owner greed.  Going from 53 to 60 is a good move and will only cost each team about $3-4mil given the min salaries. 

    [sarcastic joke] Rosters are already too big. 3 for each position would be 11 x 3 = 33. That's right, the pussies need to go back to playing both ways. NBA doesn't have separate positions for offense and defense. MLB doesn't either,  except for pitchers in the American League. [/sarcastic joke]

    Rosters should be expanded. The number of games and the number of teams need to stay as is.

    WTF is your problem with anything Julia Morales tweets?

    You're not worthy.

    BTW, Evan Gattis had 11 triples in 2015. 12 in his entire career, 11 of them that one season.

    It's not worthy of the commercial thread, but the HEB spot where Correa is strumming the guitar and singing "chocolate, caliente, Mexicano, yada, yada yada" sends me into an irrational rage.

    Do not, even indirectly, criticize the greatness that is HEB's Mexican Hot Chocolate ice cream.

    Watch him starting @ :40, fightin my guts out, he's actually looks like he's trying not to smile or laugh.  I never noticed that before.

    I'm not interpreting that the same way. 

    Sometimes people give a smile or laugh out of sheer frustration: "I don't know what else I could possibly do."

    Like Jim Mora's playoffs rant.

    I think Mack actually thought he had done everything he could possibly do.....which makes him even more pathetic.

    Speaking of Kyle Tucker, he sure has been on a cool streak these last 10 games 6 for 35, no homeruns and 15 strikeouts

    May be a cool streak, maybe teams are pitching around him and he's pressing without Alvarez in the lineup.

    Wouln’t be a permanent move. He’s damn good in RF as a fielder, and has an arm that would be wasted at 1st. We have other options.

    Which is why my first options would be to train Alvarez, Tucker, or Brantley at first base. I don't know if two of those three can play in the outfield at the same time. If Brantley and/or Tucker can play CF or RF effectively, that would be great.

    Even then, they may be looking to reduce Reddick's role next year. His contract is going to keep him on the team, but his power numbers are low for a corner outfielder.

    After DH and 1B, the next spot in the lineup that needs an offensive upgrade is RF.

    In the offseason, I would like to see if someone gets moved to first.

    Tucker, Alvarez, Brantley, or Reddick should be playing first next year.

    Gurriel to DH?

    Gurriel and Diaz as utility players.

    I want Alvarez and Tucker (if he can hit MLB pitching) to play as much as possible. Maybe Tucker can play right, but it seems both of them may be best in left field.

    Brantley needs to stay in the lineup, so we have 3 guys for LF and DH. One of the three can go to first, or maybe go to right and have Reddick play first.
