Once Montgomery is in the lineup instead of Rojas, I like lots.

Agreed, as long as the money is spent throughout the organization and not on just a couple of overpaid busts.

He is what I wanted Madrigal to be.

Agree!

Congratulations on getting axiomatic into your reply.

I would settle for a roof over the current stadium. My interest in spending money is focused on the team. Baseball can be played in parks a lot less expensive than these new proposals.

Agreed!

Maybe the coaches need to do a little coaching.

Throwing home when there isn't a prayer of getting the runner while the runner takes second. As kids playing sandlot baseball...we knew better than this. A pet peeve of mine.

We must lead the league in near collisions.

The difference is that we were favored to win most of them.

I agree. If it were one of our kids, we would be crushed.

The front end costs money.

Looks like a powerhouse if you squint.

I vote for quality over quantity. Please give me a player with OBP, defense, and speed any day.

Thank God for radio and newspapers.

I actually cancelled MLV.com after the season, but weakened one hour before the opening day game. Yeah, I know...weak. They have been mildly entertaining despite Jerry. Getz has focused on building the foundation of the coaching staff and pitching/hitting development, manager, etc. Adding the new players has put life into the otherwise dead lineup. A new ownership with an open wallet could fix this mess fairly rapidly, IMO.

I came to the realization recently that there are about a dozen players on the team who look good. That's a pretty good place to build from.

I just watched Moneyball for the fourth time. Perhaps Getz could find some inspiration by quickly viewing.🙂

Jerry and Tony tanked this organization. IMO, the GMs did the best they could with this ownership.

Jerry would give this a hard NO.

I understood what you were doing. My remark wasn't aimed at you...just my two cents.

I don't believe the Ishbias bought 35% of a club so that JR could 100% control their investment. My guess is Ishbias will be taking over sooner rather than later.

Yep...shortstops, center fielders, and left-handed stud pitchers.

The back story of the black Sox scandal was that Eddie Cicotte was cheated out of a $10,000 bonus by then-owner Charles Comiskey.
