  1. And tucker at 5 a few picks after bregman. Technically Daz Cameron is also a 2015 first round pick by Houston 😁
  2. Based on Nick's post-game interview, he attributes his bad defense to getting bored in the field during the regular season
  3. I dont pay income tax to the state i travel to for work, why do players pay income tax to the localities they play in during road games? Taxes are complicated...
  4. We had the same idea at the same time?! 🤯
  5. Personally, once we're talking hundreds of millions I wouldn't care. It's more money than I'd ever know what to do with. I'd take 200M over 300M if it was the right place, people, location, culture etc. Maybe I'm an oddball but I'm guessing there are players that feel similarly. I know players have agents to pay, a legacy to build, a duty to the union and are competitive to their core but life isn't all about money and that has to be clear to at least SOME players. (Although, my guess is Correa isn't one of them.) Chafin is possibly a good example of this, especially of he opts in but even if he just resigns. He values being close to his farm and that may outweigh getting the best offer.
  6. Do you think players take into account how playing for higher profile organizations may affect their popularity and resulting earnings from endorsements?
  7. Anything over 120 games in a season would have to be considered a bonus.
  8. If that happens, do you think Bieber would start on 3 days rest tomorrow?
  9. He still gets the physical version of the newspaper because he doesn't trust reading his horoscope off one of those thinking machines, his words not mine.
  10. Me too, that they burned a lot of arms and have nothing but a demoralized feeling to show for it. Cleveland's offense also makes it hard to see them moving past the Yankees. I'd be betting on another Yankee-Astro match up, so sick of it. On the other side, the nl looks much more interesting. The braves/Phillies series should be a ton of fun
  11. Anyone else see that catch by Nick? Gutsy play. It was funny that he kind of collapsed in relief after he made it
  12. Yup, ample opportunity to take control of the situation themselves. Can't blame the new playoff system for that. Kind of reminds me of the 2009 tigers
  13. How do they fit Haase's bat into the lineup without letting him catch? If he's the non-primary catcher he could catch 1.5 games a week and dh 3 games a week (assuming Miggy is no longer the primary dh). Maybe play OF occasionally, does anyone trust him out there either?
  14. I wouldn't be shocked to see them rely on Turnbull more and only sign one legit starter and a few more minor league type guys
  15. This team is so bad it can't even generate a two page game thread
  16. I clicked away in the 7th, geez that got close!
  17. At this point, I think both sides are satisfied with that trade
