The current trend seems to be to go with younger, less experienced, but WAY CHEAPER managers, which means the days of Girardi making $4-5 million/year are gone. I'd expect a "rookie with upside" manager who will cost a lot less
Him spending half the year in AAA was Top 3 most puzzling moves of the year Eh; he did REALLY suck for a while down in the minors after that. I'm gonna say they made the right call in thinking he still had more to work out down there. But Russell was suspended and Descalso existed, so Happ could have added value at the beginning of the year
Pray LaVine also becomes a top 50 player and then trade one of them plus whatever other assets for the next player who demands out. Complete list: Laurie Markkanen: #50 Zach LaVine: #55 Otto Porter Jr.: #90
espn.com has put out their Top 100 Players for 2019-20, and Laurie barely makes that Top 50 (at #50). A fringe top-50 player as the centerpiece of your rebuild bodes poorly for any short term success
The guy’s right. Bryant would probably hit 90 homers if he had to sell insurance every winter instead of working on baseball. Mayhaps he'd hit 100 if he also had to take the steam locomotive to get from Junction City to Kalamazoo!
The caption said it was the day he returned to action so it would have been the fourth day after the injury. Right, once it turns black and blue it stays that way for awhile.
I'm trying to make myself feel better about this crap team by playing The Show, but I've now lost 6 straight, including two straight shutouts to the Reds. Art reflects reality
My foot looked like that when I sprained it. It doesn’t turn black and blue for 24+ hours, so it’s quite shocking to see that a day after you injure it
