Battered is a really good watch and a true story. Highly recommend.

A salary floor might be the biggest concession owners could make and might force some ownership groups to sell. A low initial floor which increases over the length of the CBA might work and give some teams time to sell and possibly relocate. A raise of the minimum would accomplish the goal of getting money to the younger players. Gradual increase of a hard salary cap/penalties would make remaining owners happy. This likely screws minor leaguers who aren't part of the union and spending in their area gets cut by some franchises due to profit desires.

Do you think we are holding money or the signings just haven't been announced? I figure if we had 1 million available, Prieto would be in our system. Dodgers with 30!??! Where do they play all of them? Is it just two DSL teams? Do they churn and burn a lot of prospects ?

F it. Sign him up. Less dollars and give Juan sr a job!

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?..

On the way to sixty. Profile says 2004. Was on another board before that but I am to old to remember it’s name. It closed and moved here after trying to find another.

It’s funny people questioned if he could play third. He could play second in an emergency but is not an every day option. I like him but may be trade material.

Nice find but I can't get behind pay wall. Perhaps a reasonable summary without blatant theft LOL. I normally do a post on this but couldn't do it with looming work stoppage. Major concern with Ford is a nearly 33% k rate at AA. Would worry part time work in majors would be even higher.

For Noah! One year, giving up pick, 21 million. After significant injuries how many innings could you expect? 120-150?

Cody Bellinger projected 16 million same as kimbrell. Swap lol

I think what is trying to be said is that Tony does have an advantage by not saying if Rodon or even Kuechel will be out. If it is not announced, the Astros have to do some work on scouting/culling/analyzing/prepping etc ahead of time. If they don't pitch or are ruled out later then that time and effort was wasted.

I don't want Lynn, with an iffy knee, anywhere near a wet mound!

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/29/2021 Another AAA game. Will get this one started early.

https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-09-26 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-09-25 I return like the Sox shall! On the 25th games, Romy three hits, Rutherford hr, Mendick played lf. Fry blew a save. Parke gets AAA era below 4. Perhaps next year he could serve as about a #20 pitcher?

Tim played back to back games. Day game after night game. Previously they had been trying to play him every other day but he wanted in for getting defensive timing back. Makes sense to rest today. I imagine if it were crucial he would play.

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/18/2021 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-09-18 Go Sox!

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/17/2021 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-09-17 Lambert for AAA. Beginning to feel a sense of urgency. Will really ramp up in a week.

Cristian Mena with probably his best start. 4ip 8k

Saw someone mentioned Pilkington. Looked up his stats and he's still in AA. ERA down a run to low 2's while whip up to around one. Looked at top 30 for Clev and he didn't crack it! Look at ours and guessed he's probably in the middle of top 30. Definitely not the deepest of systems right now.

Thanks. A slip perhaps back to less crazy/happier times?

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/16/2021 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-09-16 It seems safer to hang out over on the future side after a loss. With the minors ending soon.......sigh.
