  1. Not really. It does on the day they get inducted, but that's about it. Do you still really think Paul Molitor as being that much better than Craig Biggio?
  2. The one where we had a manager and he f***ed things up?
  3. Lou Brown is a better manager...
  4. Morejon's stock seems to be falling faster than a 90's dot com...
  5. Betts for Myers, Gore and Grisham. No money changes hands...
  6. The Padres are the better match. The Dodgers have shown they own the NL West for the past 7 seasons. They’ve lost 2 of the last 3 World Series to teams currently embroiled in sign-stealing scandals. They did all this without Betts. The Padres, on the other hand, have given out a few mega contracts and spent money, but gotten nowhere. Their upper management has basically demanded Oreller improve the team or find another organization. While he will probably have another job within minutes, he still has some motivation to not get fired. He’s under actual pressure to improve a team, not maintain the status quo or “get over the hump.” Having a stacked farm also helps.
  7. Eric Hosmer’s agent pried it open...
  8. Well, again, when you have “anonymous sources”, you can cite any number of them without question. At least Fiers went public with his own name. For example, I have FOUR “anonymous sources” that say the Yankees used a similar scheme. Couple that with their previous punishment and that they employed a previous cheater, and throw the data around, the Cora implication and London games, things look just as bad for the Yankees. Maybe worse. And the whole “bench coach” thing is grasping at straws. Did Beltran ever attend a team meeting? That’s all he needed to explain the scheme.
  9. Or took Price or Eovaldi?
  10. The simulator likes a trade of Betts and Price for Myers, Campusano, Cronenworth, Quantrill and Franchy Cordero. It also like Betts and Eovaldi for Myers, Campusano, Cronenworth, Grisham, Quantrill, and Naylor (or $18mill)...
  11. Who are they? As long as these sources remain anonymous, it seems like any number of them can say any number of things. I don’t like anonymous sources as the sole form of “proof”. Of course, they presumably have made themselves known to Manfred. If it’s still a number greater than one...
  12. I don’t think MLB is going to go confiscating acquired assets. You better hope not. The Yankees, like Boston, have already been punished once, and employed one of the named conspirators...
  13. It’d be better if the Sox could get Gore or Patino...
  14. Yeah he’s no CC Sabathia Or is he? Sabathia (ages 31-33): 68 GS 97ERA+ Price (ages 31-33) 63 GS 118ERA+ Sabathia (ages 34-38) 118GS 104ERA+ It wouldn’t be unheard of for Price to recover. And possibly improve...
  15. Heck he took it last winter...
  16. Much like with the Red Sox, this might be evidence of sign stealing. But that doesn’t make it evidence of electronic sign stealing...
  17. Well, that’s because with your high school girlfriend, there was already another guy on second... (Unless you married her.)
  18. There you go. As long as they can time their injuries properly...
  19. An inflatable dinosaur costume?
  20. You don't want that level of rebuild. Look at the Marlins. They traded back-to-back NL MVP's and got essentially nothing for them...
  21. If Puig is too crazy or too expensive or both, another option would be trying to get Billy Hamilton on a cheap deal. But at that point I just gamble on Puello...
  22. I think Bloom keeps it simple (“Gee, thanks for the astute observation, Captain Obvious”) and just goes for some depth pieces and a cheap LHH 1b for a part time platoon with Chavis. Thinking Greg Bird. (Not my choice here,) At some point I’d stock up on some SP depth and get a fourth OF. But we’ll see...
  23. Eovaldi has one major drawback in that he's never healthy. But you might be the happy one if you want both...
  24. I will take the next 3 years of Price at $96mill over the next 3 years of Eovaldi at $51mill.
  25. But you do prefer Logan Allen over Kimbrel? Also, Beeks was better than Eovaldi last year...
