Pitching mentor does not mean life coach.

You keep pinning 'true leader' on Keuchel but what makes you think thats the kind of guy he is? Is it because hes a professional athlete?

Also Farquhar found out about the scheme during his game and he likely told the White Sox about it. Should we now be angry at him and our coaches for not doing more about it?

Sounds like a lot of pressure to put on one guy trying to earn a big contract. Some of the above might have happened, we dont really know. There are already articles stating Crane knew everything. I can totally understand not wanting to muddy the waters if you arent involved. We don't know what went on in the clubhouse behind closed doors, but to condemn Keuchel for not taking on the hero role is a bit much. Maybe we have different expectations of players and in that case I would understand if you dont want anything to do with him.

Where is his admission to looking away? How do we know players weren't outspoken behind closed doors? What else do you expect them to do? Go to the media?

Bauers twitter is gold right now

From what I have read some players refused the help. This is supported by their atbats not having any trash can sounds.

This wont put them in disarray.

Totally worth it, Manfred dropped the ball here.

Thats Sock

OOTP needs to be #2 behind MVP 2005. Its one of the best designed games of all time.

It would not have been one for one, thats for sure

One thing i learned is to never doubt the Rays.

gotta love these big trades

I dont remember hearing the prospect being dealt before the MLB pieces. Weird indeed.

*old man shakes fist at sky* This reads like a Rodney Dangerfield skit, The answer to all of your questions is that it makes the ballclub better for cheaper. Also Ted Williams had a launch angle in his swing, he even taught it.

Honestly I wouldnt mind it if they went after Bryant and gave the Cubs a haul. He wont resign with them and they will be worse down the road for it.

Cant wait for March 26th

My bet is the writers will want this to be one inductee: Jeter. Walker will miss it for this reason alone. Get ready for another year of Jeter being shoved down your throats by the baseball media.

Burdi has to prove hes healthy and capable in the minors. Big year for him

That is a bit absurd. He was 7th in WAR for third basemen and that was with only 511 abs. This seems fair, I think too many people are discounting the Indians. They had a ton of injuries last season and still were competitive.

I really like this for 1 year!!! So who is out now?

They need to lose draft picks as well, suspensions and fines isnt enough. Totally worth winning a WS as it stands

Red Sox would steal the signs in the video room and then give it to their players so they could then relay it to the batters when they were on second base. Not as bad as the Astros, but still bad.

I dont think thats on the same level, although I will wait until more comes out of that.
