Harold's Leg Lift

Oh it's just a childish Cubs/White Sox thing. I should have known.

So, no.

Are any of them 27, left handed and coming off a 38 home run season?

You parctice to teach your body your swing. When you get in the box you have to trust your athleticism and focus on the pitcher. If you're thinking where your hands or feet are against a big league pitcher you're fucked.

He came up as a catcher. He doesn't have the hands or feet to catch at the big league level but he certainly has them to play 1B and the reason he doesn't play there for the Cubs is Anthony Rizzo. I'd offer Lopez and Bummer.

Schwarber can play a very capable 1B. He would be a very good fiton the Sox.

The Dodgers have to fire their analytics department.

So you go into Vandy for a weekend series and come out thinking Carson Fulmer is a better talent than Walker Buehler.....

There's hope for you yet.

The rebuild is over. It's go time.

It looks like the smartest team in baseball (just ask them) made a really dumb decision. That's a shame.

I'd do that and run away like I stole something.

Obviously trading for Mookie isn't the only move the Sox have to make but it would the bold move this rebuild needs to add an elite player to get the team to the level of winning the division.

The Cardinals won their division.

Why would you want a rule where a pitcher is not allowed to pitch?

That's not the only thing they're overvaluing.

All first round picks are protected.

This is a very underwhelming free agent class. Last year there were some interesting non-tenders so I'm hoping the same will happen this year.

Alrighty then.

The original plan was to trade for Machado the year before he hit free agency and confince him to sign an extension. They made a legit offer but Baltimore (Angelos) turned it down so it's certainly not out of the relm of possibility that they would try again with Betts.

I don't get the Wheeler love either.

We're gonna disagree on that one. I would think if the Red Sox trade Betts they'd be looking for players with higher ceilings. But yeah if they'd take him I'm all in.

I'm not sure why the Red Sox would be interested in Madrigal but if they can package him with a couple other players it's a no bariner.

Yes. Whatever it takes.

I really like Yolmer as a bench guy. I think he'll be non-tendered but unlike Avi he will accept the lower offer to come back. The obvious problem is Ricky will find a way to play him everyday.
