Look at Ray Ray Run

I can't think of a guy who settled for significantly less money than projected. I could be wrong but I believe that could hurt the arbitration market for other players?

Amazing to see people b**** about fake insider trolls on Twitter, and wonder aloud why they waste their time every off season doing it... only to constantly post their thoughts and analyze them as if Jeff passan broke the story lol.

Who knew?

How so?

They're in the business of professional gossip and I don't disagree.

All I'm gonna say is that no one has any idea why some guys stay healthy and others don't. Most ideas and thoughts for maintaining pitcher health in the 90's and 2000's turned out to be nothingburgers. I think max velocity is probably a huge part of it; much moreso than inverted arm issues and loads. Many things that were said to be dangerous when I was growing up are now being taught and pushed because they actually aren't bad; like extended long toss, throwing every other day in off-seasons, and etc.

Not you specifically.

I mean you're betting on Snell being the guy he was 3 yearscago.

The key to a rebuild is self evaluation and understanding what prospects the industry or a team views higher than your internal evaluation. Selling those prospects and getting big league talent back. You have to trust your guys and trust that you don't trade away the wrong ones. No one should know your guys better than you.

I don't believe the Pirates were willing to include Glasnow for Eaton but I could be mistaken. Giolito honestly might have the more productive career because Glasnows injury history isn't great and the cut on his fastball isn't great on the arm at that velocity level usually.

Yeah, but Glasnow's issue was always command in the big leagues. He also completely dominated the minors in a way Cease never did. He's also 6'8 and tall pitchers take longer to put everything together historically. In 595 MiLB innings, Glasnow had a 2.01 ERA, and 788 strike outs with a 1.07 WHIP. His struggles when he got to Pitt had some to do with Pitt trying to take away his cutter, and the other part was his inability to locate his off-speed stuff over the plate at all. When he got to Tampa he simplified his approach quite a bit, started throwing the ball over the plate more consistently, and now he's the dominant manchild he was in the minors. The 6'8 thing and the complete dominance are what make him a bit different than Cease. His fastball struggles involved location and him taking something off the pitch to get it into the zone; Cease has similar command issues, but his fastball isn't as dominant as Glasnow's was.

Glasnow minor league numbers are thing of legend.

Glasnow cutter/fastball might be the most dominant pitch in the game for a starter.

No my contention is you have no idea regarding all the details of this case and taking a legal filing in a country with an F in judicial integrity as the recitation of the facts is just dumb and your insistence on trying to turn me into a xenophobe for waiting on further information has been the funniest part of all.

Yes I'm sure corruption and the likes stops at businesses. Smh Waiting on the process to play out is stupid in a dui case... fine. Drawing conclusions in cases like these with no real details from both sides is just wrong.

The Mexican judicial system is ripe with corruption and bribery and beyond. You trying to pretend that's not a reality is really odd. You trying to turn it into me being xenophobic is comical. The video shows randy saying he's the only one who provides for her and why can't he take his daughter when he takes care of her yada yada. Family matters are complicated. I Imagine even harder in foreign countries.

https://www.ganintegrity.com/portal/country-profiles/mexico/ Look at this xenophobic analysis of mexicos judicial system.

Xenophobic? Ok buddy.

And thats great. And he may very well be found guilty of the charges. Please spare the credibility speech regarding the Mexican judicial process though and the authority you are placing on their word. Randy's agent? No i just don't gossip much about domestic issues involving children; especially young children. Life is complicated and family affairs can be the most complicated. And yes I think if he was caught beating his wife id likely have a different opinion of the ordeal; however fair that is of me.

What is the point of a stupid ass tweet like this?

Sounds pretty cut and dry lol. The internet is an amazing place. As I said, maybe randy is just crazy and a pos... or maybe there's more to a personal family story than can be read about in post incident press report. Citing Mexican police or authorities as a factual report with immense credibility is absolutely comical.

Yes because there's no other story here. Hilarious to read some absolute take about a story with very few details. Lets say... what if the grandfather was said to be beating the child? Or the mother was neglecting/putting the child in harms way. Or maybe randy is just crazy. Idk any of those things and neither do you.

Got in a fight with the other man. No point in casting stones in cases like this with no real details.

I like Marquez more over the next 4 years than Snell fwiw.

No chance. Glasnow dominated minor league baseball in a way kopech never did. Glasnow was a better prospect than kopech and and has a higher ceiling imo. Glas, imo, is one of the top 3 ceiling arms in baseball.
