I thought Tatis would be on that list.

I wonder why his numbers were so much worse after KC traded him to Washington.

Micker and Luis Robert sure have a lot in common. Massive talent and lots of injuries. If they are both healthy, I hope Sox move them quickly through the system. Very quickly.

Q is due $22 Million total in 2019-20. Then a free agent.

So would I. Not exactly thrilled, but I would be in favor of it. Avi was dinged up last year; if he is healthy, he should be good to go and be productive. I don't get all the Avi-hate here.

If we get Manny, how long does it take the Mods to get his face on the banner?

That's what Tulo did a few years ago. Look what it got him.

FWIW, the boys at PTI said Harper's team met for 5 hours with Nationals over Christmas break.

Tapia would make us better. Rockies keep talking about moving Blackmon to a corner, but I think they are leaning toward Dahl in CF, not Tapia.

Attack? You call that an "attack"? Do you ever read any of your own posts?

Ownership not gonna happen. Other owners have to approve, and they don't want to start that bag of worms.

I did. We both know what Collins hit last season. I say it's not worthy of Top 100. Just my opinion. Plus, there will be another draft in June, and there are probably 20 or so unnamed prospects in that group that will vault ahead of Collins, including at least one catcher. I hope he proves me wrong. And, even if I'm right, he can still be a good major league player.

We should have traded for him. Perfect fit here, too. Geez, he's better than Harper.

You're dreaming, Jimmy. Basabe is probably a dream, too.

Please do.

Trouble is, if MLB wants to change the luxury tax penalty, they have to go through the Player's Association, who happen to be much smarter than the owners.

Then we are stuck with Alonso for another year.

aI keep wondering why Rockies did not make a QO to Ottavino. He would not have accepted it, so they would get a draft pick. Or, they would get him for one more season. Same argument with Lemahieu.

How does their ownership structure work? Is the debt internal or external? IOW, can they be foreclosed? Someone told me a long time ago, back in the LBO days, that leverage is okay if you can pay the debt service and the underlying asset is appreciating.

I received a T-shirt saying "I Still Call it COMISKEY".

Market's going up next week.

LDF

I bet he gets a contract to play in Japan or Korea.

If he goes to A's, I bet Semien moves to 2B.

Actually, he was tradable with his original contract. He had a clause in there that gave him a $1 Million bonus if traded, which Rockies paid.
