this makes ... zero sense whatsoever. did you have the volume on This is how stupid GM's and stupid ex-players and ex-executives think. The MLBN coverage was painful to watch this year
-
Conflicted
-
That's dumb. Maybe so, as it was a dumb talking-head on MLBN saying it
-
I saw someone speculate that the D-Backs signing Martinez to $25M AAV would necessitate renegotiating with Goldschmidt, whose contract is super team-friendly right now. They don't want to add Martinez's salary AND bump up Goldschmidt's

Do we really think the Orioles would trade him in their division?
-
This whole offseason has been a snoozefest. Outside of the reigning MVP being traded, sure

MLBN saying Cardinals will shift focus to Ozuna if Jays won’t deal Donaldson

"Time makes fools of us all" - The Kyle Schwarber Thread
Derwood replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Schwarber was a lot better after the demotion and I think we all underestimed (and were jaded by the WS performance) how the lost year of 2016 would affect him and he really should’ve started 2017 in AAA. The guy only played in 71 MLB games (~280 PAs) then missed an entire year at age 23 and was just throw right back in to MLB after not playing for a whole year. That was kinda crazy/stupid when you think about it. Sure, and as I said, I'm willing to give it a try. I'm just not sure his OBP will merit leading off -
I'm assuming he's getting this for lame things like wins and that he was one of the relatively few pitchers with real longevity in an era that was short on that. I mean, he pitched 18 seasons, which is less than a lot of more deserving guys

"Time makes fools of us all" - The Kyle Schwarber Thread
Derwood replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm all for trying it, but we were excited for it last year, too, and it was a disaster -
I've been a Gaints fan for some time

Lauri out but the Bulls beat Boston? Oh sure, ok
-
I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread
Derwood replied to NOLA's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Is he losing power by rolling his front ankle? A quick look at a few other hitters shows their front foot staying planted -
So next year all we need is to play sixteen games against concussed teams and we’re undefeated?
-
Meh on Montgomery starting any games at all? That seems harsh considering he was above average as a starter last year. Meh on Montgomery having a guaranteed rotation spot? Everyone seems to agree that the front office isn't going to allow that regardless. You aren't going to do better than Montgomery as a swingman. He just seems more effective as a reliever, and the times he starts, you're crossing your fingers you get five innings out of him. I think he's fine in a pinch, but not a guy I would plan around. His numbers fell precipitously the second time through the order last year (.188/.232./.256 first time through, .283/.389/.424 second time through)
-
Am I the only one here that is pretty "meh" on Montgomery starting?
-
And Sulley is nowhere to be found
-
Sorry if someone already mentioned this, but Rotoworld expects the Marlins to flip Starlin to another team to shed his salary
-
-
Yeah right. I have it on good authority that Stanton is soft and doesn't want to be "the man" on a contending team
-
He has "access to a private plane", if that's any different than "getting a free airplane"

https://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2017/12/7/16748288/save-the-crew-columbus-ohio-attorney-general-mike-dewine-browns-law This whole thing is just so stupid. Anthony Precourt is like the central-casting version of the "villainous sports owner", the plans for the stadium in Austin are laughably terrible, no one in Austin wants the team, there is a huge outpouring of support for the team to stay here, and it's all just yelling into the wind. o

I know nothing about him, so I was just curious. Why is that weird?
-
Is Chatwood a guy who might be groomed as a closer later in his career?
