Capn12 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Someone else should have started this, but....fk it. I want to start Cannon's first start thread, too. Not like it will matter on the outcome, we know where it is headed... Jonathan Cannon Era begins...or Jonathan Cannon's ERA begins to climb, one of the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends. If it's a right click, you just go to Edit and increase all his attributes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV's upside has been somewhat limited IMO, because of his lumbering football linebacker body type and his inability (at least to this point) to adjust to scouting reports. All too often, pitchers exploit his vulnerabilities at the plate (i.e., inability to cover off-speed pitches on the outer half). We would all like to see AV hit 25+ home runs this year but instead, he looks like he wants to lead the league in HIDP. Bottom line is that AV has to get hot and start hitting some bombs.

That has been a thing here for a decade. Just spent $2 million to push BACK the rain so that a marathon and half events could be held (not that the actual race results matter when the African runners just let local favorites win, lol.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vaughn is truly a kilometer away, it might take him a month to cover that distance. He's pretty slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
