    In other news Cobb County is doing pretty much the exact opposite of TT/City of Chicago. http://deadspin.com/opponents-barred-from-speaking-as-cobb-county-approves-1582556255

    Does he have a [expletive] mullet?

    It probably takes at least 1 of Bryant/Baez, 2 of Almora/Soler/Alcantara (or if Miami would value another position player equally or greater than those), one of the minor league SP CJ/Pierce/Hendricks/Whoever Miami likes the most, and probably something off the ML roster like Lake or one of the young bullpen arms and maybe even some IFA/Draft money.

    That one sign, or the overall agreement with Budweiser? That has to be the overall agreement, including the new sign. $14m for one sign seems really high, no?

    Yeah I remember that stuff from on on Gray/Appel, but I think he started changing his tune once the draft got closer that it was going to be Appel if Gray went #1 and Bryant if Appel went #1.

    If the Lakers get a top 3 pick Tuesday I'd think that would allow them to enter the discussions

    And another K in his 3rd at bat. This is getting really depressing.

    I've theorized that this might be the case which is why I don't buy that the bust rates going back 25 or 30 years on prospect lists are really all that accurate. Are they really getting better at ranking prospects or are teams getting better at not [expletive] them up? The old ways of doing things in baseball have been dying for about the same amount of time that this study looks at. It's probably a little of both.

    There has to be some law firm out there willing to represent him and get those hefty billable hours in a case like this.
  17. Cubswin11
    Greinke, Scherzer and Hamels have never really gotten hurt, right? Also Ben Sheets to the list of casualties

    It's pretty frustrating to watch some of these calls. I like Brenly's idea of umps going back to the huge shield pad they used to have because they're pretty awful at calling pitches outside to lefties when they're hiding on the inside corner. Rizzo's gotten screwed on a couple pitches at least 6 inches outside this past week. Or, you know, just use the technology available and go to automated ball/strike calls
  19. Cubswin11
    I'm calling it, he's gonna go on a Sorianoin type run the next 2-3 weeks.

    I posted this in another thread the other day and davell mentioned a similar thing earlier too: I heard an interesting interview with Tommy John the other day. He theorizes that there's more pitcher injuries now because these kids don't get the down time to let their arms recover in the off season because they're essentially playing year round. I hadn't heard that particular theory before and coming from a running background, it completely makes sense. I've seen a ton of runners ramp back up too quickly after a marathon and end up injured when if they had taken a month or two and just done some low, easy mileage they more than likely would have avoided any issues. With all the fall ball and summer leagues, these guys just don't get enough of a break Thanks, so if this theory is true or at least parts of it we should see this problem stay the same or get even worse? As the guys coming up are a product of the year round baseball and the issue hasn't really been addressed or changed at the early levels yet. And thinking about it now, I can definitely see the year round/showcase baseball being a big cause of these pitching injuries.

    I did in 3 of my 5 leagues...

    This is playing out like a SNL skit
  23. Cubswin11
    WTF is this?
  24. Cubswin11
    What's up with all these pitcher injuries, because there's a higher than average amount so far this year, right? Is this just a short term anomaly? Or are there some underlying things that are happening like pitchers throwing harder or more breaking pitches, poorer mechanics, smaller amounts of PED use?
  25. Cubswin11
    Agreed and that piece may need to be a Stanton/Cargo level acquisition to show our intentions, imo. Assuming, like you said, we aren't willing to blow all offers out of the water with length, dollars, NTC's, etc.
