1) WIN
2) A shooting gallery with Chicago gangsters theme. Go in and shoot targets of Al Capone, Rick Hahn, and Jerry Reinsdorf. Add images of players who make errors or pitchers who give up homers. A murderers/managers row with Bevington, Griffol, and TLR?
3) Rehire Mike Veeck. Youngsters look him up!
4) Have a gambling machine. Set the odds at one in two million. Every admission gets to pull the lever. If you win, Jerry sells the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not necessarily this exact case but in in a presentation with Dr. James Andrews and his stats are that we now get about 88% of MLB pitchers back to the majors around 12-14 months with the typical UCL reconstruction. However with the new internal bracing they are returning in just under 7 months
Haven't seen the data. Did he have any information besides recovery time between the two? Such as those who returned to previous level of performance and reinury/tear rate? I know bracing may not have a significant n that have been followed since it is newer. You hear of traditional pitchers who gain velocity post TJ rehab, is this seen with brace?

Well, he did pull the ball.

Carl Weathers. RIP. Didn't realize he was 76.

Weird, I thought I had looked at BR for his stats. Anyway for not pitching in 2 years, 156 innings is better than I expected. Looked like over 5 ip per start. Over aa k per inning and 4:1 k:w ratio.

Anyone know how he pitched last year? I couldn't find.

If this is indeed a weaker prospect group, I wonder if there will be a lot of underslot deals done to try and gain some flexibility in later rounds?

For those interested, I did the math. His salary cap number is 46 million. That is right in line with most predictions. He gets 2 million. What rate of return do you have to generate on the "44" million deferred to equal 68 million in ten years? It is 4.5%. So while they claim there is no interest on the deferred money, I would argue there is. Ohtani got the money everyone thought he would but 700 sounds cooler than 460. He is actually just locking in a guaranteed 4.5% return on the 44 million for ten years. Creative and a win for him as he stated his biggest desire is to WIN! Lowering the cost while he plays allows for more money to put better players around him. As many pointed out, his endorsement deals will provide the cash flow while playing. Additionally, he can move to a state without income tax after playing when he gets the 68 million a year and save around 4 million a year in taxes.

I believe his nickname was The Road Runner? I seem to remember Harry or Jimmy saying meep meep when he ran down the 1B line. Anyway, I saw in his obituary from 2020 that he was a 5 tool OF!!
The Road Runner was Ralph Garr if I remember correctly. His outfield defense would fit in really well with the guys of today though I don't think he was a bad dude deserving of this top ten.

Agree that not all top 100 prospects are equal. Per MLB.com, there is one 70 FV,5 at 65 FV, and 11at 60. (Montgomery at 17 is their last 60 FV). Let's just assume the rankings are "correct" then if you get one of these 17, you could certainly take less on the second prospect. Also depending on how good the first two prospects are would impact what else you get.

Here's one to grab
I found a Nov 10th article on MLB.com on the Cubs minor league organizational All-Stars. I found this mention interesting:
Perlaza had been with the Cubs since signing in 2015, but he elected free agency this week.

Wouldn't mind us grabbing two arms with the idea that one probably gets returned.

Burke 1-4 but 3k, Ramos 1-4 and a walk, no Montgomery. Leasure 1ip 1h 3k, Ellard 1ip scoreless

Here is an excerpt from the above article on Eder. Made it four innings. Four runs but three in first. Talks about working with Dodgers pitching coach. Think he was 93-96 pre TJ and much less post surgery/foot injury so maybe this is an improvement
"Eder, who was working his fastball mostly in the 93-94 mph range, said his ability to incorporate his lower half more consistently changes everything about his repertoire and how he uses it. His fastball spin efficiency was better, giving it more ride up in the zone. It helps him keep his slider and changeup on the same plane, leading to better command and more deception. Feel for pitching can often take a while for a pitcher to find following a long injury layoff, but for Eder, it's less about the ball coming out of his hand than it is the efficiency of the delivery."
-
With Montgomery removed from a game and then missing the next game, I hope there is not a serious injury. Think he had played every game prior so maybe just a rest and precaution? Anyone hear anything?

How crazy that after 20 years of payments, the owed debt on soldier field is 640 million instead of original 398! What interest rate and who grants a loan knowing the payor can’t/won’t make normal amortized payments? Government bs again in making numbers ok short term and kicking the payment can down the road. No one gets to buy a house that way or run a business that way but let’s just put the cost on our children and grandchildren.

I had the MLB ticket. Few past mid May and not sure of any after watching Robert and Benitendi let a ball land between them during a no hitter if I recall correctly.

FYI. I tried the links normally used in our threads and they say no games scheduled.

Well the end of the minor league season has hit while I was traveling and no Sox affiliate made the playoffs. Interest has unsurprisingly dropped off with football starting. I don't know if AZL will have threads but I just wanted to thank everyone on this board for contributing and helping this season. Despite the dreary season, people kept it civil over here and thanks all for that.

not looking good for seeing the Sox play Sox in Fenway today with my wife and son and his girlfriend . Stadium tour before may be it. Sitting in the rain might not be quality bonding time but probably will provide future stories.

Anyone know how long Crochet and Kopech would need in minors to reclaim a year of control?
