I just can't feel bad for the owners. They rip off young talent like Blake Snell, but then cry poor when they have to pay market rate. The system is broken.
It's not derogatory. If someone made a case to get rid of Lucky, I'd be fine with it.
If someone doesn't know the difference between Redskins and Celtics, they are either dumb as a post or just making a facetious argument.
I can't even bother with the current WWE product right now. I haven't watched RAW in forever. I'll check out Mania and the Rumble, but that's about it.

Hernandez in the 3rd: Single, fielder’s choice, GIDP. 6 pitches, do a total of 15 pitches over his final 2 innings/6 batters. Again: all bad contact.
@alexspeier
Cora said before the game that he expects (Darwinzon) Hernandez to be a big league contributor this year, with an ETA that is after Opening Day but before September.
@PawSox
Travis Lakins is ranked by @BaseballAmerica as the @RedSox no. 17 prospect. The @OhioStateBASE product enters today’s game against the @Orioles with 6 scoreless innings thrown in #GrapefruitLeague play.
Lakins in 2018 with the PawSox- (1-0), 1.65 ERA, 16 IP, 0.98 WHIP #Milb

Tzu-Wei Lin smokes a double to LF. He’s gone from a player who sprayed grounders everywhere in the lower minors to someone who hits a lot of line drives from gap to gap. Sox have a lot of IF depth options with Holt, Nunez, and Lin.
The only thing that really sucks about Yankee stadium is the empty movie theater seats that make up the front few rows.
The All Rise stuff is hokey AF too.

Pedroia will play 3 innings on Saturday. All the rotation members remain scheduled to pitch in games starting Saturday: Rodriguez (Sat), Porcello (Sun), Sale (minor league game Mon), Price (Tues), Eovaldi (Wed).

Cora says he doesn’t have a pecking order for the three catchers. ‘They’re all good,’ he said. Still expects that the team will open the year with just two catchers.
He debuted at 20. Instead of getting seasoning in the lower minors, Feltman pitched in college.
I don't think Feltman will be in Boston in April, but I wouldn't be shocked by a mid to late season call up.
Cordero is Exhibit A for why holding a player in the minors just for seasoning is wasting bullets. He was really good until his arm fell off. Feltman seems to have a limited time table too.
Maybe the Cubs should have kept Mark Prior in the minors longer for seasoning? That way he could have blown out his arm with much less service time!
Because it didn't work once, it can never work. Interesting that you aren't mentioning young arms that succeeded like Francisco Rodriguez, Huston Street, Aroldis Chapman, or Kenley Jensen.
