Harold's Leg Lift

Preller is a legit crazy person and I absolutely love him for it.

It's a really scary time to be a seller right now. Teams have no idea what they're getting back. These prospects aren't playing games and scouts aren't allowed to watch their workouts at alternative sites. They could being trading for a guy who is not the same player he was 9 months ago. Hard to pull the trigger on a big move when you're not 100% in on what you're getting in return.

Thanks Jack!

Remember: His breaking ball has below avg spin rates.

It would shock the hell out of me.

Moreland has a $3M option for next season. Both players going to Boston have to go on the 40 man roster this off season or would be exposed to the rule 5 draft. Pads just moving a couple guys who got caught in their roster crunch.

There are people who don't need a player to accumulate a bunch of stats to determine what kind of player they are. There isn't a single person in baseball that thinks Collins can catch on a consistent basis and that includes the White Sox. That kills any value he may have had because now he's a 1B/DH with swing and miss issues. That type of player grows on trees.

Every organization in baseball has their own players who haven't lived up to their potential. There isn't an organization in baseball that is saying do you know what we really need? Zack Collins and Reynaldo Lopez. They have their own players they're trying to figure out how to develop. Sure they could be a throw in piece in a deal but neither player moves the needle.

If being friends mattered at all Jon Daniels and AJ Preller were roommates and fraternity brothers in college.

I don't know what's happened to big league catchers but this shit is getting ridiculous. Cone-treras calls for a breaking ball, sets up wide WITH A GUY ON THIRD BASE and lets the ball sneak between his legs (go figure??) and the game winning run scores. How can you set up like that when you know he's going to throw a BB in the dirt?? Is it that important to try to steal a strike in that situation?? I do not understand how teams are teaching their catchers to receive like this. It makes no sense and it's costing teams games.

The World Series 3 years away is always the most important.

Great minds think alike because I'm stuck watching the slap and tickle twins.

Mechanics don't matter if they throw hard.

I did?? Huh

O'Hearn and McBroom doing damage today. Is this the half way to St Paddy's day game??

He's so much more efforty. He was free and easy last year. He's chasing the velo at the expense of command.

Atta boy, Tim. Take it yourself when you can.

Grandal has such awful technique it's no wonder he leads the world in passed balls.

with life.

That's a bad question.

Welcome to the party, Ken.

Boy what's gotten into Alex Gordon.

Yep. Wasn't difficult to see that happening.

I love me some Brady Singer.

Sure. The corner of 35th and Shields.
