  1. Yes, it definitely helps when you can find All Stars off the scrap heap.
  2. Hats off to their scouting department.
  3. Yes, too soon to call for both of them. Cora may be in the conversation with Tito though.
  4. It's July 14th. There's no way he starts a game this year unless the plan is for him to only go 3 innings. They are not going to stretch him out. Maybe his best role is as a bulk reliever type? I don't think anyone would have been upset at that profile this offseason.
  5. In terms of aesthetics he's probably talking about the shift. Entertainment wise is probably the lack of runs. What's pleasing for fans is obviously installing robot umps and pitch clocks immediately.
  6. The longer we have Manfred, the worse he looks. I thought Selig was the bottom of the barrel. He wasn't.
  7. It's a gorilla wearing a Theo suit now.
  8. College seniors rarely go unsigned unless the team has run out of budget room or the player just doesn't want to play baseball anymore.
  9. It would have been funny if their last selection was a Catcher though.
  10. @JeffFletcherOCR The #Angels have completed their 20 selections in the draft, and here's a summary. P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P
  11. Controversial take: David Ortiz was good. https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2016/10/15/every-david-ortiz-walk-off/
  12. They walked him 4 times in game 6. That's how good he was.
  13. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/benoijo01.shtml 207 ERA+ in regular season, then Papi makes him famous. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wainwad01.shtml Runner up for CY https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/siegrke01.shtml 832 ERA+ in regular season, Papi hit a bomb off him
  14. 931 career OPS. 947 career OPS in the postseason.
  15. Pitch clock is easier to establish as fans are more familiar with the tech (already used in football and basketball). Once the fans are comfortable with that change, the switch to robo umps (which still use human umps behind the plate) will be fine.
  16. Red Sox selected Wyatt Olds. Mets selected Wyatt Young. Let's see which strategy works out.
  17. Seems to cut it a little too tight IMO.
  18. @KyleAGlaser Rob Manfred on A’s relocation: “Las Vegas is a viable alternative for a major league club….Thinking about this as a bluff is a mistake.” The pro sports Oakland to Las Vegas pipeline is real. Good thing the Warriors already crossed the bay.
  19. I believe Duffy would put us over.
  20. This would be a good idea for its own thread.
