Harold's Leg Lift

Madrigal didn't play SS in college.

Hopefully they leave him alone and let him do his job.

I love AJ Preller.

Ahem

It's likely the best player available will be a college pitcher.

I agree. They need top end pitching and it's nice when a draft is deep in a need. They won't have to reach to fill a position of need.

They're gonna want to rewrite that report on Howard. This is not gonna age well.

Don't get the Braves giving up a draft pick for 1 year of Ozuna at all.

The ballpark messes with the front offfice as much as it messes with the pitchers. They just can't find an organizational philosophy on how to develop pitchers and stick with it.

The Rockies would not be interested in Vaughn or Madrigal. They have plenty of position players already in their system. What they don't have is pitching. Any trade with the Sox would likely start with Cease and Steiver. I don't think it's going to happen but that would be a much more likely trade scenario.

3 players in baseball have posted 5+ WAR in each of the last 4 seasons: Mike Trout Mookie Betts Nolan Arenado

It's a really bad comp because Bellinger has played more games in the OF than he has at 1B. Besides that no one should ever take any of these lists seriously. They have zero relevance whatsoever. It's just something to get people talking about baseball during the off season.

I get that White is outstanding at 1B but I don't get why they don't give him more reps in the OF. He could be like Cody Bellinger playing 1B, CF and RF. They aren't taking advantage of the tremendous flexibilty he could add to the team.

That was very well done thank you for sharing. I think every damn person in that entire organization knew exactly what was going on and that includes the piece of crap owner who sold evryone out to save his own skin.

That gives it more sinking action than screwball action but still a simple adjustment for a major league hitter to make when he knows it's coming.

Good point. Should've said on purpose.

Really? Pitchers throwing a lot of inside sliders these days?

If you know the pitch you know the location. Fastball in off speed away.

You were also wrong about ba and rbi but besides that it was a great post!

Not that it matters but are you sure about that?

I like Lodolo but that's a new shiney thing ranking. He hasn't been challenged yet.

Damn. That lineup is scary good. The Minneapolis Mashers.

Manfred and Crane orchestrated the shit out of this. They understood they couldn't disipline the players so that's where they decided to point all the blame. "The players" did it. No individuals just "the players." Oh and with help from the guy who doesn't work here anymore. Saying they had no knowledge of what was going on just insults everyone's intelligence.

It's amazing that Crane was able to simply wash his hands of this whole mess. He should be out too.
