FT35 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 53 minutes ago, bmags said: holy smokes kingery was bad last year. But man he started off great--lots of MLBTV guys agreeing he was the best player on the field for them...all kinds of ultra positive accolades. I'd like to think he just lost all confidence at the first sign of struggle, but then the truth hit me...the decline corresponded perfectly with the day I added him in a competitive fantasy league. He's got an Ian Kinsler skill set but a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spraying hits all over the field, stealing clutch bases, making unbelievable diving basket catches. Hitting dongers even though he’s small and it’s a pitchers park. He looked so, so ready for the show. Prospects will break your heart, man. Hope he puts it together. Didn't he get extended too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He constantly tweeted stuff out that was pro Padres. They constantly shared it. Obviously Hector is way more credible but they viewed him similar. They might meltdown after this. Paul Crane is a real person? I've assumed this whole time it was a fake account with a generic headshot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, he's saying this (and yes I know MLB insider is fake, but it seems he has his own source): Since when were the Yankees even a possibility for Harper? Come on.

GermanSoxFan Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) 4 minutes ago, fathom said: So we have to pray that Tulo and Andujar don't get hurt? The Yankees won't offer a huge contract just because Andujar and a washed up Tulowitzki get injured. By the way, if the Yankees wanted they could always move Andujar to 1B. So the only reason they are not interested would be Luke fucking Voit. I don't buy that for a second. The Yankees just want more payroll flexibility going forward.

Sox and Padres can wait it out for a "bargain". As stated above if Tulo or Andjular get hurt though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally nothing legitimate out there in the news would tell you this has any sign of wrapping up anytime soon. With all due respect, How is a superstar free agent not signing until 15 days before opening day not something to be suprised about? I understad the lack of real rumors but still.
