  1. Watching Reyes slapping singles is the equivalent of a 6’ 6” pitcher topping out at 90.
  2. I don’t know what’s worse—knowing or not knowing what the return from the Dodgers was going to be? Especially if Jake was part of it, as rumored. I suspect Edys was in the deal, as they had to move him.
  3. I hope the Dodgers light ERod up every time they face him.
  4. Not sure if Troy Melton has a serious injury, but he looked pretty good last season.
  5. My draft party lasted 7 minutes. A lot of coconut shrimp 🍤 going to waste.
  6. I love Ohtani, but $500+ million for a guy who may never pitch effectively again, seems excessive. Hard to quantify the marketing impact he would have for a team, though.
  7. This. He wants the HOF to make the call for him.
  8. He started there, though, I believe. Think the BoSox moved him to the OF cause they had Pedroia and Bogarts in the infield. I could also be horribly wrong, too.
  9. Sparky was also pissed at the Tigers near the end—I’ve read they treated him differently after he refused to manage scabs during the 1994 strike. Apparently Mr. I was not happy with that decision.
  10. And we never fired him nor made him manage “scabs.”
  11. Do managers wear a team hat in the HOF?
  12. It’s not far-fetched. Tatis has a PED suspension and rumors of attitude issues. Also has a massive contract. And the Padres need to clear payroll. Also had a bit of a pedestrian offensive season last year (by his standards). Whoever trades for him would be assuming some risk.
  13. I’d package him with Jung and Carpenter to get Tatis.
  14. Hope you’re all correct about Manning, but I personally don’t see it. He doesn’t really have an out pitch, though could still develop I suppose. I think he’s a 4th or 5th starter, at best. His low salary helps his trade value. I see him being added to a deal vs being the central piece, unless it’s for a Triple A catcher or someone like that.
  15. I think in Manning’s case, we’d be selling low.
  16. Pat Caputo suggested that the Tigers could trade Baddoo and Manning because we have depth at their positions. He left out that neither have much trade value.
  17. I count (7) HOF’ers. Wonder how many teams can match or exceed that within a similar timeframe.
  18. I think of him as an Expo. That franchise produced so many talented players and eventual Hall of Famers.
  19. The only way to build a winning team is through the Rule 5 draft.
  20. Hope you’re joking.
  21. Doesn’t sound like a promotion on the surface.
