Moncada officially back.

JMO, but it also seems like going after someone like Mookie is out of the question now. Not that it was very realistic before, but I always thought there was an outside chance IF Giolito, Cease, and Kopech all were good in 2020. Without that certainty in the rotation, there's even less of a chance of making a splurge on Mookie.

Apparently I'm not smart enough to embed a tweet, but what's the deal with Fegan's tweet about Renteria - did he test positive and I missed it?

Good lord do I detest Jon Lester

Nice at bat after getting down 0-2

Not sure I agree that this is going to be a station to station team. Abreu and EE, sure, but Eloy is more athletic on the basepaths than you give him credit for. And they're going to be surrounded with the likes of Moncada, Robert, Anderson, Madrigal, etc.

Couldn't agree more. Engel seems like a pretty ideal (realistic) 4th outfielder IMO

Housing costs are included in the basket of goods in the CPI which is reflected already in inflation. You'll get no argument from me on the absurdity of today's educational costs, though.

Well, $11.55 isn't a living wage so I'm not sure how that makes your point more valid.

Minimum wage was established at $0.25 in the FDR era, which is significantly lower when adjusted for inflation than today's federal minimum wage (which we all agree isn't a living wage). According to CNN, the highest the minimum wage has ever been when adjusted for inflation was less than $12, still not a living wage. https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2019/business/us-minimum-wage-by-year/index.html

Not even close to being accurate.

That's my read on it as well.

That's a better deal than we thought, right? No need to worry about manipulating innings if he underperforms or is borderline. Just buy him out of the final year for $1.5 mil

Keuchel is official

GUYS MAYBE ZACH WHEELER HATES HUMIDITY AND WOULD RATHER DO SPRING TRAINING IN ARIZONA. 5/100 GETS THIS THING DONE FOR THAT REASON
-
He isn't basing his decision on spring training. Where do people come up with this stuff?
-
That's f'ing horrible.
-
Who is "people"? Not seeing anything on twitter.

I could be wrong but didn't he play 3B in Cuba?
-
Jesus. HARD pass on trading for Schwarber, and especially for Q.

fair

Completely agree on a lefty power bat. Just not sure how realistic that will be.
-
Robert Madrigal Moncada Martinez Jimenez Abreu RF Free Agent McCann/Collins Anderson Shew. Maybe switch Madrigal and Anderson? I'm not the best with lineup construction, but the makings are there for an absurd lineup.

Just like 2005 when our B team swept them and prevented them from potentially winning the wild card
