I'm not with you, partner.

Can't do the ownership thing. Other existing teams have to approve new owners, and they won't start that can of worms.

I bet there were immediate comments here after the giveaway, partly because Shields was the antithesis of a serviceable pitcher. And, I never made a comparison to Yordi. The Tatis giveaway stands alone.

There was immediate pushback on the Tatis giveaway. True, he was young and had not yet played pro ball, but Sox had just given him approx. $800,000 and our guru Paddy liked him. They had to have seen him work out. So did the Padres. Preller set up Hahn and took him to school. That's why guys like ESPN's insider (can't think of his name) was so shocked when he heard of the giveaway.

When he came up with Rockies, I thought he had HOF written all over him.

Tulo's former back up.

They all have a Plan B.

Lou Piniella just missed selection by one vote.

Thanks, that's what I suspected. It just seems to me, that if they non-tender those guys at same time, they should know they can protect Thompson by adding him then. Unless, of course, they just don't think he is good enough. We'll see. I just think some team will select Thompson.

Last I checked, Sox were at 37 roster spots. If so, why wouldn't we protect Zach Thompson?

For many years, I had heard that 2866 base hits called for automatic selection to HOF.

Do you like Gorman better than Bryce Bush? Fowler is owed around $50 million. Geez, what a bad contract.

Hope I'm not repeating a previous post, but ESPN.com has article today saying the top 3 for Harper are Dodgers, Phillies, and White Sox.

That whole non-hustle issue is way overblown. He plays hard. I don't like it when he steps on the first baseman's foot, but he usually runs hard.

Called him out and probably told Preller to trade him to the White Sox, the only team stupid enough to take him. Then Hahn complied and threw in Tatis.
