    Kopech update

    in Pale Hose Talk

    Posted

    Interesting read to put it lightly. 

    The biggest factor that put me solidly in the defend Kopech opting out camp was actually the financial aspect. I believe someone here had said it here months ago. With him going through a divorce Vanessa may attempt to collect alimony. I'm not saying she is, this is obviously speculation, but lets see what happens *if* she were to do this.

    1. With her being a a famous actress/"wealthy" you can assume she is going to have a pretty damn good divorce attorney.

    2. Right now Michael is still a prospect. I know he played in 4 games in 2018 but you can't really base the amount of money he is going to make over a career on that.

    3. Had Michael played and performed well this year any decent lawyer would have definitely used that to try and increase the $$$ Vanessa will be getting.

     

    I think there are a lot of other valid reasons for him opting out but him not playing could have *saved* him millions of dollars throughout his lifetime. I'm not an expert and if anyone is familiar with divorce on professional athletes I'd love to hear what you think.

    Great link. Nick breathes nothing but baseball. Love it.

    I have a very similar routine but something else I oil up.

    Seeing Eloy that fired up with the "lets go" isn't something I expected from him.  Love it.  Nice to see from a guy I sometimes feel plays a bit too loose. 

    I've never seen him like that before and it gave me shivers when I watched the replay. Reminded me of the "Let me see your war face" Full Metal Jacket scene
