Fun fact: Kyle is 5th among NL outfielders in UZR.

Dexter didn’t realize that Kyle has developed into a plus defender.

Trout already has 5.7 WAR. That puts him on pace to set the record, which is currently held by Ruth at 14.1

So he's already mastered AA I’d have to say yeah.

Mercy, he’s got it going right now. 1 IP so far with 3k. I watched him in person on Monday dominate a terrific Ole Miss offense. He’s good.

Quite certain they'll be more to it than that. What do these ceremonial 40th round guys get beyond that. Every other story is about making some kids dream come true or something, yet your belief is that a michigan alum will funnel a significant sum of cash through the rangers to make this happen, and the rangers are happy to play along? Who said significant sum of cash? It's probably 15k or something. If you can explain an honest reason why they would draft a guy who hasn't played baseball since he was 14 (and wasn't even that good at it) who isn't some freaky freak athlete like Michael Vick was, then lay it on me. This isn't like Russell Wilson being drafted, or when the Rangers drafted Jameis Winston (who was a good college player), or when the Cubs drafted Colin Kaepernick (a tremendous high school pitcher). It isn't some make a wish or dream come true story either; Patterson is very likely a future NFL quarterback. There are so many loopholes being exploited right now in college football in efforts to pay players. Here's a fun one: Mississippi State boosters paid one of their linebackers, Leo Lewis, $11,000 in cash to sign with the school. Lewis admitted this to the NCAA. Why wasn't MS State punished? Because there is a loophole that says a parent of an active player on the team can give money to a recruit. So a local community college coach who makes $32,000 a year was able to hand Lewis $11,000 in cash in the parking lot of the MS State athletic complex because his son was a current player at MS State. NCAA was informed by Lewis himself and all they could do was shrug their shoulders.

Quite certain they'll be more to it than that.

Pretty awesome loophole to pay a kid for his football services. Must be a Michigan booster in or connected to the Rangers FO. Patterson hasn’t played baseball since he was 14.

A legit talent. Last year as a junior pitching in the Pac-12 he gave up just 10 runs in 118 innings.

A mistake that a 15 year old turdbrain can be forgiven for, not child molestation: https://sports.yahoo.com/rockies-draft-pick-responds-obama-assassination-tweet-no-idea-talking-215615128.html

That’s Don Kessinger’s grandson he buckled. He’s one hell of a SS. Will be a decently high draft pick next year I suspect.

The only reason that slide is any different from every slide into second base during a double play attempt is that the catcher had his back turned, whereas middle infielders are generally able to jump over those slides. Totally legal and routine slide attempting to break up a DP, it’s just that the optics look different because the catcher didn’t see it coming.

He'll have a much worse stretch as a cub http://mlb.mlb.com/images/0/6/0/201020060/091216_chcstl_heywar_MED_guy3tzk7.gif

Heyward currently has an UZR of 1.8 Schwarber is at 3.2

I knew this would be here when I opened the thread. I screamed so loud at my firm that my secretary came blazing into my office thinking I was dying or something. The thing about that video is this: Top 8, Ole Miss up 3-1. That pitcher came into the game with those runners on second and third with no outs. He then K’s the next two batters. Then has a two strike count on that batter when the insane error takes place. So Georgia ties it up. The pitcher is left in the game and K’s 5 of the next 6 batters and gets the win when Ole Miss goes ahead in the 10th. So 7 K’s in 3 innings for that dude. What an epic brain fart though. For his sanity alone I’m glad Ole Miss ended up winning.

Burns just hit 96 on a K. He’s a stud. He’s got a big payday coming one day. Rolison hasn’t given up a hit thru 4 and has 5k’s.

Theo is sitting in the stands at the SEC tournament watching Auburn and Ole Miss. Rolison is currently pitching for the Rebels.

Does anyone remember a shirt from like 1990 that had Dawson, Grace, Ryno, and Dunston on it? Have no idea how I found such a thing in Mississippi, but I got it at a mall way back then. Looked everywhere online but have never been able to find a picture of it.

Amazingly, Schwarber has 1 DRS this year. For him to develop into something less like a black hole in the OF is a huge plus moving forward. His UZR is higher than Heyward's btw.
