How long do we think it's going to be before Gomez's "dabbing" causes a benches clearing altercation?

How ever many days until we face Brian the unwritten rule enforcer McCann

Gattis will make a fine reserve catcher.

Can someone help me out and confirm this. White has never been called up or if he has he hasn't played in a game yet???
Also, what are yalls predictions on white?
My predictions are based on him being everyday 1st base then DH once reed comes up.
.276 12 hr 78 rbi

How in the heck do you come up with predictions on someone that you don't even know if he's ever been called up or not?
To me, your guess is too low on the BA -- He will probably hover around .300. He won't show that much power - less than 10 HR. And he'll have fewer RBI's. He should, however, score a ton of runs once he's batting in front of 2016 AL MVP Springer.

I think he will hit .285 with 8 homers and 48 rbi.
Got him (and Altuve and King White) in my fantasy draft last night so yes please

Starters 3-5 are some scary stuff. Hurry back, LMJ.

I doubt he bats in the top of the lineup although with his OBP skills it would make sense. I think he will hit 6th or 7th. The other spot that could make sense is 9th so he is getting on base in front of the top of the lineup. If he's hitting in front of Castro he won't score a tone of runs.

Everybody is talking about White...and deservedly so with a .348 BA this spring.
But Moran is hitting .385 this spring. He's got to be the next candidate to wear the crown.

His OBP and contact rate makes sense, but he is dead weight on the base paths apparently. Don't think they'd hit him in front of Springer/Correa/Gomez (all guys with 20+ SB projections who can stretch extra base hits occasionally) - I don't think they'd want to clog up the bases in front of speedy guys like that. I don't think he bats 9th in front of Altuve for similar reasoning. He is destined for the 6th or 7th spot with the occasional start in the 2-hole whenever injuries or rest days hit the top of the lineup, imo.

If Val struggles Moran is knocking on the door. He had some really rough stretches last year and I'm interested to see if they stick with him through those this year with Moran looking ready to contribute at the ML level
White fits really well in the 6 or 7 hole. You don't want to take away at bats from guys like Altuve, Springer and Correa by putting him in front of one of them. I also think you want White further down to break up the lefties like Valbuena Tucker and Castro that will likely be at the bottom of the lineup. Lineup vs RH to me looks something like
Altuve
Springer
Correa
Rasmus
Gomez
Valbuena or Tucker
White
Valbuena or Tucker
Castro

Just saw on twitter from buster only the Royals intend to retaliate against syndegaaed for knock down pitches in the WS.
I hope Hinch is paying attention.
