  1. He will not be returning...he announced his retirement this AM
  2. IIRC...That Yankees game was the 1st game I can recall where fans turned out in droves just to see Fidrych pitch...I remember being shocked at the size of the crowd when they panned the stadium at the top of the broadcast. He drew some massive crowds at home and on the road that year.
  3. I thought Madrigal might be a decent pick for us instead of Mize (injury concerns). As it turned out...Madrigal never did develop any power and has an injury history of his own. I did think Matt McLain was a viable option at #3 in 2021 as he looked like a plug and play 2B...thayt idea looks better
  4. BA and RBI...Like a pitcher's W/L record.... are the most salient statistics when judging player value
  5. Two teams interested is better than one...drives up the return. I know he may opt out...but I'm inclined to roll the dice on keeping Rodriguez
  6. I was the opposite...liked going go my glove side because it was an easier reach for me
  7. Jobe has apparently added a cutter to his mix this season
  8. Looking back...Greene played a few games in rookie ball in 2019...moved to the NY Penn League and finished in A ball at Western Michigan. After the 2020 camp year, he played at Erie and Toledo. It's aggressive...but not unprecedented
  9. You're never gonna get Funkhouser to quit
  10. He's channeling his inner Ned Braden
  11. It's not 1990...Jose Trevino is out for the year
  12. Alex Trevino is out for the year....what could we pry from the Yankees for Jake? I know...it violates GM rule #1
  13. I think there's more utility in seeing what Meadows can do than there is in seeing if Badoo can get hot again
  14. Jace Jung begins nervously looking over his shoulder....
  15. I'm mostly angry with Javy because he does things like swinging at pitches that are so far out of the zone that he couldn't hit with a telephone pole when he's the potential tying run. It's galling to see a Major League baseball behave so...stupidly
  16. That is a surprise... A little concerned we haven't added a decent back up QB yet
  17. Will be hugely disappointing if they don't ink McGorricle
  18. Diaz and the JUCO C Chernowhatever are the guys I'm looking forward to seeing develop. They have fun backstories
  19. The hardest point for me to wrap my head around is the idea that you have to take into account what a player is willing to sign for into consideration when evaluating an individual pick. No other professional sports draft is like that...you can argue need vs BPA...but in baseball that doesn't seem to be as big of a debate as "what will this guy cost us"
  20. Yes they do...I sell high risk auto insurance in SE Michigan...my life is a pageant of low watt IQ's
  21. Tork is entertaining.... When be makes contact, he absolutely murders it. The hope is that contact becomes more frequent as he gains experience.
  22. He's sleeping on Danielson...RHC with size who can skate and create offense? He should be higher...much higher
  23. That's why we sweeten the pot a little...or maybe a trade to Chicago will infuriate Javy to the point that he opts out
  24. Anderson is having as bad or worse time in Chicago than Javy is having here...he's a neg WAR player and his career WAR is 10 wins lower than Javy. They've both fallen off a cliff and appear to be very unhappy. make it happen, Scott!!
  25. Wojo on 97.1 just proposed a Baez for Tim Anderson trade...we'd have to eat some money or tack on a prospect because Anderson is cheaper and on a shorter conteact..but, what the hell...why not?
