The 8th rounder from Regis U signed for 27.5k after phoning a friend and realizing being a millionaire isn't in the cards. But seriously, the way the draft pools works it makes sense to lock in your under slot picks first. That way if something falls through with them, your savings and denominator aren't hosed.

The two first year JC guys toward the end and the catcher from Puerto Rico is committed to a JC. I'm assuming the JC sophomore won't be returning for his Junior year to stay eligible.

I see three players who could be draft-and-follow candidates.

I forget if I have gripes about Stand Up To Cancer here, but it is a pet peeve and I feel like I am on an island there. It's just a giant ad for Mastercard and money being diverted from research to those stupid signs.

Bill Jamesian contrarianism here. I like the gold belts some of the AL guys are wearing.

Does Vladdy know about this?

Cross that too left-handed bridge when you get there. The odds of all of those players becoming MLB Regulars and all the current MLB LHH still being around is slim to none. Accumulate and develop talent and let the chips fall where they may.

Nah, they thank the people who try to beat them, or the people who pay them to manage their portfolios.

Low cost index funds, diversify some, set and forget. Easy peazy and you come out ahead.

I'm gonna go on a limb and suggest dropping that case today has been the plan since the moment she was assigned the case.

Per the BA article cited earlier, the 165 player minor league limit played a role. They wouldn't be able to sign and sit pitchers.

Fcl regular season ends next Thursday, the 25th.

Fcl got pushed up a month this year. They may not get the choice. Last year doesn't matter.

Fcl season will be close to over by the time he signs. Both will probably be in lakeland.

Local cop likely saved Trump's life.

For those on the right complaining about the failure of law enforcement spotting a person with a rifle. How much easier would that person have been to spot if not for open carry laws desensitizing them?

I had a former colleague (Florida Man Of the Year 2018) who was arrested by the Secret Service for making threats on Mike Pence on Twitter.

I'm worried about gun violence in a polling place.

My hunch is if it was somebody on the right, it's somebody in the gun crowd who saw his bump stock ban brought back to the forefront by SCOTUS a couple weeks ago. Still that's TBD, there's conflicting info, especially since the small donation to Act Blue a few years ago seems to be legit. Although Act Blue tends to put a bunch of social media posts looking for micro donations to senate candidates.

Now that we have confirmed casualties in the crowd, yes, it is a stretch.

Yeah, a lot of people coming out of the woodwork to support their cult leader, but not the hundreds of kids gunned down in schools. It's still concerning on a lot of levels though. This is the type of thing that leads to nations falling, and it seems we are on that path. It's scary.

Laying the ground work for Special Council Trey Gowdy to file charges against them.
