    A step up from where we were very recently.

    @pgammo While awaiting some idea from Scott Boras on a way to make rookie service time workable for both sides, remembwe Bobby Grich @Rochester , 1970(.383/.503/.570/1.074), 1971(.336/.439/.632/1.071)... Orioles won pennants each year. Mark Belanger&Davey Johnson were SS-2B. Grich played short, with Ron Shelton--Bull Durham, Cobb, etc.--at 2B. If Grich had played 150 G for O's those two years, would he be in the HOF?

    Naples is also just a drive away from the Phillies, Mets and Astros who have also been linked to JBJ.
  4. mvp 78
    If he did have more value, he would have been moved.
  5. mvp 78
    What's JBJ's current offer?
  6. mvp 78
    Moreland is currently under contract. JBJ is still unsigned. Maybe Moreland has more value than JBJ?

    1. Blackout rules 2. Service time issues 3. Slow ass replay 4. No DH in NL 5. Luxury tax I'm trying to figure out where I'd put "lack of a payroll floor." Fans of the O's and Pirates seem to get royally screwed.

    I just remember that everytime Paplebon was brought in for the 8th inning, it seemed to go very poorly. I think closers want to close. They want the ball for 3 batters and to strike each of them out. They don't want to get up in the 7th.
  9. mvp 78
    Are you trying to say that JBJ who has yet to sniff a contract this offseason wasn't a hot commodity at the deadline last year? Inconceivable!

    Tekulve is 73. The game that he pitched in doesn't really exist anymore. Eck only had like 25% of his career saves at the point Tekulve retired. Hard to say that his experience as a reliever prior to 1988 has much bearing on what the game looks like now.
  11. mvp 78
    Better depth than last year.
  12. mvp 78
    I want to say that relief guys can be slotted wherever and come into a any part of the game you need them to, but IMO these guys are creatures of habit. You need to slot them in to certain parts of the game so that they can be mentally ready to do what they do. I think bringing in a "closer" in the 8th and another guy for the 9th due to matchups doesn't work as well in reality as we'd like it to.

    They ghosted me.
  14. mvp 78
    Hoping for a discount in 2021?
  15. mvp 78
    But the Stros and Mets were seen as bigger suitors. What happened?
  16. mvp 78
    Should have nontendered him last year!
  17. mvp 78
    I have that effect on people.
  18. mvp 78
    The lamest part about baseball.
  19. mvp 78
    I think that if there was a substantial early season injury to a starter, that they'd keep him as a traditional starter and not an opener.
  20. mvp 78
    Maybe finalize an offer? Add a year? IDK.
  21. mvp 78
    There's a chance, but I don't believe an opener is a traditional starter.
  22. mvp 78
    I can't disagree with you because I haven't watched a YES broadcast in the past 18 years.

    @byJulianMack Jonny Miller ran through all of Martinez’s underwhelming stats from last year before asking question. Martinez: thanks for reminding me, Jonny. Legend.
  24. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo J.D. Martinez said Jackie Bradley Jr. told him he has a couple offers and is waiting for a team to "take the next step" so he can sign.

    It might give you a leg up at some point, but once you become the college version of Leiter and Rocker, the issue about genetics becomes moot.
