That's incredibly creepy.

I like the way Twitter thinks.

plus baserunning? plus bat?

It's possible Betts produces more value next year than Madrigal will in his entire career.

I like the way you think.

I think McCann is going to play a lot. Collins is the odd man out. Ricky wouldn't play him last year in games that didn't matter so I can't imagine he's going to play him in games that do matter.

That doesn't leave many AB's for Abreu.

I'm happy they finally released Palka.

That one is much more appropriate. Failed works too.

Prominent isn't the word i would use to describe Hansen but ok.

My "I still like the White Sox but Rick Hahn really is the Anti-Christ" clique will be meeting across the hall.

The Astros hit the 3rd most home runs in baseball.

He wouldn't be the only player they acquire this off season.

So it was Kevin Goldstein who sent the emial. All the assbags are coming out to play.

Is Chaim Bloom concussed in this scenario?

He has 2 years before reaching free agency.

He's the only player I have them signing in the MLBTR contest. I had them signing Hamels until he said he would sign a 1 yr deal to play on a contender. I just couldn't put them with any of the top guys. I hope I'm wrong.

It's not wasted. They get value in return.

His π is y2+ x2 and his h2o is e=mc2. That's pretty damn good.

A shit storm is brewing and it's going to be glorious.

Integrity of the game. Manfred has to make an example of them and throw the book at the shitbags.

It's not just the pick they also lose the slot money. Last year the 11th pick in the 2nd round had a slot value of $1,403,200. That's money that could be used to overslot a 1st round pick that fell or a guy they like in the later rounds (DJ Gladney, Bryce Bush). If they give up that 2nd rounder it has to be for a difference maker. Zack Wheeler is a difference maker but Jake Odorizzi is not.

He's been throwing it good this fall. It will be huge if he can get his name in the mix for 1-11.
