Looked at Vaughn's stats again. They're comically awesome. He seems like the 1B version of Madrigal (in a good way). I also don't think having Burger or Sheets on the roster is reason to shy away from him.

FWIW, on today's WS Talk Podcast, Chuck Garfien puts the Sox chances at 30% for Manny.

Times like this I hate that Directv doesn't pick up the Pac 10 Network. I will say though, Oregon St's twitter site does a phenomenal job of including video highlights.

I just never heard him say that, so I wasn't sure if it was a month ago or more recent.

sure, but has he said this recently?

I’m surprised by the lack of Abreu mentions. Also, 2008 TCQ was awesome to watch.

Good post and I agree. I will be pissed if Manny signs with the Phillies (unless it’s an incredibly insane deal).

Yeah I truly feel people underestimate the meltdown that will occur if the Sox miss out on both. Besides for payroll flexibility, the Sox did nothing last year to try and make this a location that players would want to join. Yonder was a great addition for this, but just have to hope it wasn’t desperation.

But did we put his name on the screens at the UC?

Haven’t had time to read the high school reunion posts, but did anyone mention Heyman saying Phils know Harper doesn’t want to go there and they’re all in on Manny?

Good call, I would say Blake was a better rebounder while Zion is quicker on defense. It’s too bad Zion has to play with RJ, who I’ve despised watching for the last few years (lots of his hs games were on the U last year)

Zion reminds me of a more athletic Julius Randle. He obviously has the “it” factor, but I’m not sure I see NBA superstar with him.

My sources tell me that JLo wasn't at the dinner tonight. My source is that she's on The Late, Late Show right now in LA

2008 postgame chats were therapeutic during the final weeks of the season

Just don't look up anything about Gavin Floyd during 2008, thanks

It makes me feel old when I see posters that were teens on here that are now professionals in the media. I'm proud of them, we'll always have Omit Timo

kOna FTW

Like Bruce Levine breaking Alex Cora was signing with the Indians (I believe) like 2 days after it actually happened

way too many posts these days on this board talking about posters and not actual information/opinions

yep, we'll hear rumors of "stupid money"

Damn, was really hoping Yankees sources would say he's an awful fit and they've agreed to go their separate ways.

I don't think this is anything to overanalyze, to be honest.

I can't wait until Francisco Liriano's kid makes the majors and we can ask "where's our Liriano Jr?"

I couldn't agree more with this article https://nypost.com/2018/12/19/why-bryce-harper-is-a-better-yankees-fit-than-manny-machado/

I've seen nothing to suggest he's legit. Someone claimed he called the Nova deal, but I see no proof of that.
