2019 MiLB catch all thread
I like how high they are on bailey but "already became one of the top prospects of the DSL" isn't really that amazing. Very likely he's in AZL but can't freakin wait until he's in Kanny and we can get real notes on him (also hope that he destroys AZL.

**Movies that we Watch** Thread
I just think Gems should have gotten Sandler an Oscar nom. It's not really a classic oscar best picture, I think it will hold up more than most though. This was a great year though, so much better than last. I really appreciate, maybe more than most, when directors can take something that has been genred to death (the 19th century well off) and boxed into just focusing on all of the Victorian fetishes, and actually tap into the real concepts of the books in their contemporary period. The excitement/ambition/frustrations of little women just become "look how people used to live" and I think Gerwig got past that. Like, if anyone could actually make great gatsby more than "look at these dope parties and cool cars" they'd deserve a best director nom from me.

Haven’t seen all of them, but sad for uncut gems / little women and happy for parasite.

Sox may have interest in Maybin, per fake Cishek
I'm supportive. Robert has been dinged up a lot, would be nice not to have leury full time for a few weeks.

Sox Officially Sign Edwin Encarnacion (1YR/$12M), Kodi Medeiros DFA
Yeah, the flipping middle relievers was not particularly interesting. But at least it should be heartening that it does not take much talent to acquire relievers having pretty good seasons at the trade deadline.

Fegan via source: Cishek deal last major deal for Sox this offseason
Can bold the relevant part?
-
Sox Sign Cishek; 1 yr, $5.25 mil + option (6.75, 750k buyout)
well yeah, there will be several more signings, but the major additions (i.e. discussions around Diaz) I'd imagine are over. Still plenty of MILB and depth pieces. Nothing to rest on pins and needles.

Sox Sign Cishek; 1 yr, $5.25 mil + option (6.75, 750k buyout)
Fegan indicates this is likely the offseason. Gonna be a long few months.

Sox Sign Cishek; 1 yr, $5.25 mil + option (6.75, 750k buyout)
one thing that sucks is next years free agent market for relievers is garbage, sox need their young bullpen prospects to show up this year.

Sox Sign Cishek; 1 yr, $5.25 mil + option (6.75, 750k buyout)
Figured Cishek was most likely scenario. I'd like to see them give some milb deals, have mentioned tony cingrani before. Still would like to go after Salazar as well. They may have expensive mlb call up numbers around 2-3 mill but if they are not injured they offer good potential for K men in bullpen. Still would be interested in Kennedy, but also look at a guy like aaron sanchez for bullpen. If his well dries up he may reach for what he can. Same for smyly, if going to bullpen increases his fastball, he could be interesting.

I don't know about that. THrowing out their front office is a pretty big deal.

MLB announces Astros penalties
I'm just glad things haven't gotten so watered down, started to seem like penalties would lighten up but rumored to be at appropriate level. The red sox stuff, it's bad they should cut it out, but there are so many steps that I can't get as mad. Still requires the guy on second.

Steve Stone: more bullpen help is coming
Fegan brought up Ian Kennedy yesterday who could be an interesting guy to watch. Expensive and very good I’m bullpen.

Steve Stone: more bullpen help is coming
in that case you should be FOR this hypothetical.
-
Steve Stone: more bullpen help is coming
because you don't know he will be available next offseason, and you wouldn't have him available for this year.
-
Steve Stone: more bullpen help is coming
There's no way they are, that deal is a fantasy and to be against it is so crazy.
-
Steve Stone: more bullpen help is coming
man people are in. sane. Anyone that would be against that deal should find a new sport where people just count pennies.

Offseason 2019-2020 MLB Catch All Thread
Not that surprising, he was a 1 year, 2.5 mill guy the year before. One of the reasons i was so against the yolbert deal.
