This dog would have out produced Donaldson the last two years. And he could have probably fielded balls at third and beat the runner to first on foot, too. Might have won the gold muzzle award at 3B…and been more friendly towards Tim Anderson… I think the dog would bite a jerk like Anderson. |

I’m a bit amused by this, so keeping the political side of it aside, I just wanted to mention that the city council of Pueblo has passed a resolution to address the number of homeless camps in the community with an ordinance whereby anyone inhabiting a homeless camp within the city may be fined up to $1,000 per offense.
Anyone else see the irony here? …

What are the projections for Volpe? Great Question. While we wait for Kaybli’s answer, the Marcel Projections on Baseball Reference say: .229 .305 .410 .715 With 18 HR and 19/4 stealing. Oddly, they’re only projecting him to get 501 PA. That seems to me to be about 100 too low… It would be nice to know other projections from other sites. I find the Marcel’s to normally be rather conservative… |

I find the Marcel’s to normally be rather conservative… Yeah, why so low? Volpe had 541 at bats last season and 601 plate appearances. I also expect him to have more, not fewer steals if he increases his BA and OBP from last season. His home runs could go down by a couple if he focuses more on contact and putting the ball in play. |

So .208/.284/.358 with 14 HR and 27 SBs. Pretty low projections. I think he's going to beat that slash line by a long shot.
