  1. Hot topic or hottest topic?
  2. Hmmmm minor leaguers don't deserve the attention anyway
  3. get himself traded for cole hamels
  4. Pretty long. Better question, what are the odds Javy doesn't get called up until he has an extra year of service time? I imagine with the demotion they're going to want him to mash AAA for a bit along with a non-embarrassing K rate. That's a month-1.5 months right there. He needs 77 days in the minors to gain the extra year. So when is that, late June?
  5. approximately the same as his odds of being killed or seriously injured in some sort of accident. I would say somewhere close to double, or maybe even triple those odds.
  6. uhhhhh, no you did it wrong. Baez was option, the other two are not on the 40 man roster and were not optioned, they were simply sent to minor league camp. That is why the media phrased it the way they did. jesus h christ well said (the new title, not the expletive)
  7. I do not buy that. It's not like they are lacking for seconds to discuss inane subjects.
  8. uhhhhh, no you did it wrong. Baez was option, the other two are not on the 40 man roster and were not optioned, they were simply sent to minor league camp. That is why the media phrased it the way they did.
  9. not really, bryant to minor league camp was a fait accompli. Baez's situation was in question I think he meant the team's intent, not CT's wording. Give everyone else something else to talk about so the Bryant argument doesn't loop back through the media in full force again. You mean, like they intentionally optioned Baez so they could try and get away with sending Bryant down and nobody would notice?
  10. not really, bryant to minor league camp was a fait accompli. Baez's situation was in question
  11. The Cardinals are really getting anxious to start the season.
  12. Why would it need fixing yes, that is another way to phrase the question
  13. Why do so many people think the extra point needs to be fixed?
  14. He has to realize that stance is a part of why Bryant is going to be starting in Iowa. Why would he care that his stance is why Bryant is starting in Iowa? His concern is getting Bryant (and himself) more money as soon as possible. His argument that Bryant is good enough to start in the majors now is being proven right now, which also goes to help his argument that he doesn't want his guy signing a long term extension before he has to. More than anything it's a starting point for negotiations around the extension, "if you have any interest, you have to start in record territory".
  15. I can do the eagles and giants as well if need be
  16. I am not even sure he's up yet but the other thread is too dated and I think we can all appreciate the specificity of timing.
  17. Why do you keep asking that question. No, reinsdorf, Steinbrenner, and ricketts are not going to hire him. The Reds would.
  18. What if you make a diving catch and get touched on the ground? If you maintain control of the ball the rest doesn't really matter (except the inbounds aspect)
  19. Because why not. If he orders chicken salad instead of tuna salad does that signal a change in mindset or that he has accepted his destiny?
  20. I think that suggests a basic misunderstanding of the reason why he was banned in the first place.
  21. he did the worst thing you can do and doesn't deserve a second chance ever. if you want to put him in the hall of fame because you care that he hung around forever and hit a bunch of crappy singles when he was 45, go for it, but he does not deserve a job with an mlb team ever again. and if he is reinstated there is no way the Reds would hesitate to hire him for $100,000/year to just hang out all year and let people kiss his ring. I think there's a middle ground of HOF eligible but not allowed to be on a team's payroll that solves most of those problems. That's obviously simplistic, but you get the idea. But the better option is to keep him out of the HOF out of spite because he is awful.
