if you guarantee the vesting options you are at 320, if you guarantee the stuff where if he's like mvp every year he'd be at 350.

One thing about witt, sometimes with hit tool questions you'll see the player be a bit more over the board as media evaluators seem to really get worried about getting too far in front of those guys, but witt is not 1 anymore but he's top 4. I would find it hard to believe he falls far based on what spring ball will look like but maybe a college player like misner or a pitcher catches fire. I would be really happy with either witt or abrams. Those are the type of tools and athletes totally missing passed Robert.

I kinda feel like people who work for jerry know the deal, that you don't press him for more. The way they talk about jerry is different than I feel a lot of team presidents talk about their owner, they always have to revere him and talk about how successful he is as a businessman, like they will be trumped if they bring up this convo.

May be me, I think it's worse to act like they bowed out. Especially if he signs for only 300 or 310. It adds to the "what did you think they were going to go for?" cluelessness and fuel to the fire that they did have an upper limit. But, it's a tortured fan base at this point so I know it will be tough to take people up and down. To be quite honest, as much as I know I will love harper if he were to sign, this machado thing was bungled so much it still wouldn't be as much of a celebration for me as if they had closed deal on machado.

Just want to say that though I defended Chuck, mcguffey has become insufferable this offseason. I like the media stuff he produces, but his tweets and commentary has been bad. Really miss when it was mostly dan hayes and chuck.

My favorite draft would still be Abrams’ but starting to seem unlikely. Best case scenario is abrams goes to 1 and royals do think like “we have a lot of catching prospects” and adley goes to 3.

Rosenthal tweets yesterday that la seems mostly in it because of giants headway even in a short term deal, and that Bryce is still looking for $300 mill. Heyman tweets today that actually everyone is in for long term deal and all over $300 mill and oh by the way philly your fans seem to want Harper most. Where could he get that info? Oh to be a fly on the wall.

The worst thing about Dunn is his d has also fallen off. Zack Lowe said bulls were heavily shopping Dunn and no teams were interested. I wouldn’t mind ball, bulls getting little from PG though Arc clearly performing better than Dunn. Zack has been doing an interesting job with ball in his hands. Shame WCJ isn’t there too. next offseason definitely need someone though.

I’m going to have a kinder interpretation that means the same thing: they care about what the money represents. Harper has been one of the games biggest stars since he arrived as a 19 year old. He wants to be the money amount that represents that, that’s why tax rates etc I don’t see as a big play though they will work around it where possible. Manny wanted to be a 300 mill player. Harper wants the biggest contract. You hit there you’ll get him.

Somehow I followed all of that except the sunglasses.

I feel like Sullivan’s article has people brushing over all Sox beat writers. One, he isn’t really the Sox trib beat writer, he’ll do columns and profiles and fill in. Two, Sunday trib was very critical of Sox. I don’t feel like DVS I’m sun times has been carrying water either. And Fegans post machado article was great. I know chucks sunshine Schtick isn’t fun right now, but whatever, that’s not the show he has created. And I don’t think it needs to be.

The goose island is gonna be harpers mccovey cove except less cool but somehow with more kayaks.

Bulls should rest Porter until after the hawks home and home. Lose both and it’s assured they keep the 12.5% lottery

Haven’t seen any timeline, wasn’t listed as serious. That said, don’t be surprised if he’s out for way longer than he should.

He would have succeeded had we been able to develop him ourselves.

Sounds promising.

By people I mean New York fans.

I’m not sure that people are prepared for how crazy the result could be. Seems like people still in their head are still assuming top position will mean top pick.

Honestly would be terrified for a Mizzou pick to screw things up more than excited he’s good. Though Mizzous track record for top picks is pretty good. Aaron crow was probably the worst but he still had an mlb career.

I’m super positive on him, just joking about it since he was only Missouri’s hitting coach for a month, likely doing limited work with the team.

Honestly Sullivan’s piece sucks because they have him doing the entire sports section every day so he tried to multitask a bunch of takes.

Is there anyone that compiles player stats for only weekend series?

He can hit the absolute crap out of the ball and that's a good skill. If he can smooth his deficiencies to average then you have one elite skill carrying the player and that's good!

They also had him DH because of nagging injuries. I really find scouts info on hitting projections and pitching projections seriously, I find body projections short of adding power, health and defense reports less seriously.

Matt Lisle must have done a number on misner.
