caulfield12 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Well, Carroll qualified for that $55,000 per year MLB pension with service time. So congrats to him and his family, that's huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) Carroll's rope has to be getting short. And who exactly deserves to replace him? Not Johnson or Tommie Hanson in Charlotte. Paulino's still out. Other than that, Chris Beck is probably the only pitcher at Charlotte or BIRM with MLB ability...although nobody believes he's ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 This prolly should go in the mlb central division thread, but the Royals are the team to beat in our division suddenly, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what hitting are they going to pull that off? They have a great bullpen, pretty good defense, especially Gordon and Cain in the OF and Escobar at SS and Perez at C. If Salvador Perez hits like he's capable of, along with Hosmer/Butler/Moustakas, sure. But how likely is that? Luckily, the Royals don't have Jason Grilli as their closer. God, once again, another one year wonder at closer. That was about as predictable as Tyler Flowers falling off the map hitting-wise. 6 walks in the bottom of the 9th for Pirates' relievers. Sox-like.

hftrex Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 09:28 PM) Baseball sucks. We play the Royals way too many times, especially the first half. Ditto Cleveland, Detroit, Minnie. It's bulls***. Just have a balanced schedule, baseball! This is boring. Baseball has not had a balanced schedule since 1969 when divisions were introduced. Surely you are not advocating eliminating divisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Gregory Polanco with 5 hits tonight, just hit the game-winning (if the Pirates can hold it) bomb after the Pirates blew a 6-2 lead in the bottom of the 9th in Miami, first MLB homer in dramatic fashion. JEALOUS of a team that can actually scout/draft/develop outfielders. Edited June 14, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
