Correa was a part of the biggest moments in franchise history. Nobody can replace him, but with depth and someone like Pena coming up we feel we can sustain the loss and continue championship culture

JV looks like vintage JV. Velocity mid 90s. Last outing in the 5th he was still at 94-96. Everything looks great to me, but ask him and he has a lot to work on. That's why he's a HOFer

LMJ: We are still waiting for forearm injury to calm down. He had injections to help with healing process. Hopefully he'll pick up a baseball and start to throw soon but we wont know until he does that.

Pressly deal: unfortunately it has not become offical since reports came out but hoping to have it settled up in next few hours and we will certainly have comments at that time" He's everyting you look for in an elite reliever. Final out in ALCS. Big outs with this franchise in his career and hopeful it continues for the next few years

Schedule (train in West Palm and start year vs. three teams on west coast you didnt see in ST): Off day last day of ST so we were able to fly guys to Anaheim on Monday night and get on west coast time zone. For better or worse we are very familiar with Angels and M's. Saw them all last year. Our advance scouting team is one of best in majors in preparing pitchers and players for what they are going to see

Bregs: He looks awesome. Last day of ST I saw him and he was talking about how he has unlocked something in his swing. I didnt ask specifically what it is because he's such a scientist when it comes to that stuff and I'm not sure I would have understood what it was. He was very excited about it. He didn't quit last year. If he's at 100% no reason he can't return to 17, 18, 19 form.

Pena: Nobody will replace CC. Pena will get majority of time at SS for us. Guys have done a tremendous time embracing him. Defence has always been a calling card for us. Defense first and he can worry about the bat later. Altuve said it himself "this kid is going to be a superstar" We have high hopes and high expectations but we want him to get settled, catch the ball on defense and we will worry about the rest later.
