A lot of these guys missed all of 2020. Not so sure many teams will be willing to take that type of risk and have a player effectively sit out 2 years of a 3 year stretch. That puts their future in even greater question, all while bringing them a year closer to arbitration and free agency. Players will certainly be taken via Rule 5 draft. But I doubt many A ball types get the chance unless the selecting team has faith that they can play immediately in needed. For some low budget teams like Pitt and KC that do not plan on being competitive anyway, maybe. But even then they are more likely to be able to find better options than Jimenez on one of the other 28 teams out there...

and bear in mind, being "too technical" with me is an occupational hazard. If you think kilograms vs pounds is too much, then you will probably lose it if you ever realize where the "25,689 acres away" comment came from. (Hint: It's actually based on you living near Tampa and that all acres are square acres.)

Well, CERA does carry little value unless the same pitchers are facing the same lineups with the two different catchers. I get just about every baseball stat carries similar inconsistency flaws, but with CERA they get magnified because pitchers make so few starts that fit the criteria...

And like I said, it's a pet peeve of mine. I know a lot of people like to live in ignorance about this kind of thing...
-
No. It's lower than Little Caesar's. Just behind raw sewage...

I'd slap you if you weren't 25,689 acres away...

A kilogram is a measure of mass. A pound is a measure of force. Mass is the amount of matter you have, but force is a measure of push or pull one object has on another, and,according to Isaaac Newton, is measured by the expression F=ma or "Force = Mass times acceleration". Weight is a force that needs to fit that expression. To make it worse, some dope somewhere conceived of the "kilogram-force" and somehow made it so it does not fit into F=ma.

You're trying to argue with a guy who definitively said all metric heights should be expressed in either Angstroms or hectometers...
-
They should have played Plawecki to add more team speed...
-
No one ever does that right. I have a pet peeve with scales that display your weight in both pounds and kilograms. Those two units do NOT measure the same thing...
-
Next time you get Domino's, once you're done, eat the box. THAT is like eating Little Caesar's...
-
An acre is a measurement of area, not distance. The guy might as well have said the neighbor was 2,500 gallons away...

So after previewing the various Red Sox off-season plans from a variety of talking heads aound the Internet, here is what I have learned. C: Vazquez - universally determined to be returning. So we should probably bid him adieu. 1B: The Sox are going to re-sign Schwarber. Or not, as he will clearly be testing the market and the Sox are satisified with Dalbec and his second half. Except that they view it as fluky. 2B: Everyone agrees Arroyo is too fragile. Will it be Kike or Iglesias or another? 3B: Devers. And here I agree. SS: Bogaerts. The sox will deal with his inevitable opt out after the season. Again, I can see that. LF: Verdugo. CF: Kike or Duran, assuming Kike moves to 2B. RF: Renfroe DH: JD, although there is no consensus at all about whether or not he opts out. Apparently he either definitely is or definitely isn't. It's all very educational. I hope that clarifies this for everyone...

I really need a sigh emoji...

Because hes a hot lover...

No. That's wrong. Even in Canada...
-
Did he follow up with "And the guy on the other side is at least 110 volts further than that"?
-
If you like Little Caesar's more than Domino's, then I am much further away from m goal than I thought. That's akin to preferring arsenic over strychnine. Almost literally...
-
If we are going to use the single number height system and be all metric about it, at the very least all heights should be expressed on Angstroms or, for taller people, like people over 6'2", hectometers. Nothing else is acceptable...
-
But he was technically a product on the Cleveland farm system...
-
Well, I said "better" not "good" or even "acceptable". Let's say right now I have upgraded you from "Little Caesar's" level to "Domino's" level...
-
You're finally catching on. I see I have achieved my goal of making you a better poster...
-
Yes and yes. Why do you think Henry Davis was the top draft pick?
-
Start wearing high heels...
-
Pitch framing is going to be a useless skill anyway...
