GREEDY Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 $717k in career earnings since 2018 per Sportrac. What a joke. Sick to my stomach for him. The Union better allocate more money to young professional players during the next agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You insult the guy personally even though you're too stupid and lazy to actually look up the numbers? 2020 Wild Card Series - Oakland Athletics over Chicago White Sox (2-1) | Baseball-Reference.com (baseball-reference.com) What he said is actually accurate. It's 3.2 IP but that 0.00 ERA and 0.545 WHIP is probably the best set of numbers on the pitching staff after Giolito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Union better allocate more money to young professional players during the next agreement. Personally I think all of the owners should be cut the fuck out, the federal government should operate the league, the cities run the teams, and all the player salary money goes into a pool and is split up at the end of the year based upon the actual on-field statistical performance according to formula, with a high minimum salary going to everyone. There's a lot wrong with the way players are paid. The first thing wrong with the system is that owners get anything at all. The second thing wrong with the system is that the players are indentured servants for what is likely to be their most productive years. Most players who are good enough to play at the MLB level aren't even going to reach FA through the arb process normally: they'll hit FA after getting cut first. The third thing wrong is that players who aren't good anymore like Adam Dunn as an excellent example or Chris Davis now, who aren't even MLB level anymore, still keep getting all of this big money from the system that doesn't go to the players who are actually producing. There's too much to actually fix within the context of MLB. It'll never actually be a fair system for the players and especially it will never be a fair system for the public and the tax payers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the rest of the league, yes. This is the kind of player who may have to fight for a pension. Maybe he doesn't get it. The players get the shaft hard on the front end. If they get through 6 years and are poised to sign a FA deal that pays them until they become eligible for a pension they're good. You can't look at the money in the system and then look at that figure and think that's fair. Especially when you know that most contributing MLB players aren't ever going to hit that big money. Edit: I'll add one thing: the prearb guys and the guys who are contributing members of a 25 or 26-man roster make most of the baseball games happen, and allow a 162 game season to exist at all. Not only do the owners make money off of their back, past-prime shitty players like Adam Dunn and Albert Pujols do as well.

I have no problem feeling bad for the guy, but I’m going to have a hard time feeling sick to my stomach for any dude who made 3 quarters of a million dollars in three years and whose career isn’t necessarily over. The guys who we should feel really bad for are the minor leaguers who are unlikely to ever make it to the majors and literally paid under minimum wage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the MiLB guys get the shaft even harder. So, likely, do scouts, MiLB coaches, etc. But I would still agree with the previous poster re: the usage of the word sickening, relative to the amount of money in the system, and especially relative to all of the people who are taking from the pot and who don't deserve any of it, or who only deserve a small fraction of what they are taking.

South Side Hit Men Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 4 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: Obviously SSS, but Detwiler was starting to be exposed before he was cut (declining K rate, with increasing BB & hard hit rates). This is where is scouting comes into play and I’m fairly confident our scouts didn’t feel Detwiler could replicate his flashes of success going forward. Hello, exactly. But you should explain this to the one I replied to, who believed Detwiler was "pretty darn good", yet "He Who "Must Be" Blamed For Anything/Everything" wouldn't use him. The lack of understanding of the extent of a front office's involvement in overall playing decisions by certain posters (not you) is baffling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a manager going to say? "Well, we spent $20M on a DH and RFer who aren't worth shit. We spent another $18M on a catcher when my current option is better with the staff and defensively, and this year as good offensively. I desperately need starting pitching, but I only have two playoff options and one is dealing with back spasms. Our lone trade deadline pick up was a worthless fifth outfielder. I didn't see Rodon pitch in Schaumburg, but going off reports they say Rodon looks good, and I am literally out of pitchers after 50 games. I'd rather not use him out of the bullpen in crucial games, because he's never done that before. We scraped the bottom of the low minors barrel for pitching throughout the year, I guess we'll try one more time with Rodon." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waterboarding is reserved for the person who said he looked good in Schaumburg. Just keep in mind - had they kept Detweiler on that roster they might well have won game 3. They needed literally 1 out and Rodon couldn’t get that in what, 4 tries? He didn’t have to be great, or even good, he just had to get 1 out without giving up 3 runs.

I argued here they should have kept Detwelier when he was cut and used him more, didn't agree with Ricky not using him. I also got into a blow up argument here the day they brought up Rodon, Even if he was throwing well, it wasn't a good time to experiment with a lifetime starter to get outs out of a bullpen in crucial games. They were out of good starting options at that point, but I believe Detweiler was the better bullpen option for the playoffs. Didn't agree with the Bullpen game, but it was a joint Ricky/Rick decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not allow adequate recovery. It is not irrelevant regardless if anyone has done it before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Oddly enough if someone had asked me to pick the least likely player to fall to TJ surgery I think Cordero would have topped my list. Just something about the way he went out there with the short sleeves and big guns made the dude seem invincible. I really feel for the guy and hope he makes a full recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
