No kidding. There are multiple comments today on the radio calling Robert the best prospect people have ever seen live. Robert has has had much more hype.

I never said anything to the contrary. Of course he can and should do what he feels is best. My only point was if it's related to just the rehab of his elbow, its trouble. If it's because he doesn't like the role they wanted for him, that's another story.

That's fine but it doesnt change facts. If his elbow isn't ready after twice the normal time of rehab, there is a serious problem. Healing isn't an opinion. It's a physical process. He very well may not be ready but if not it's a serious problem. I dont know what you are referring to about Rose but the only people that questions about it didnt know that he had two different type of surgeries on his knees. One takes months to rehab, the other only a few weeks.

It was full go 10 months ago.

I hope not. If he isn't feeling 100% after having twice the time for rehab as normal and throwing some innings last October, he is in serious trouble.

Hes had twice as much as a normal rehab. This should have nothing to do with it. He threw innings last October.

If this is true, I would really worry about him for the future. He's already had twice as much time as normal for rehab.

Actually they are having revenue issues. There are very few sports that actually make a profit. Brown had actually terminated their track and field program due to revenue issues. However, once the BLM protested because it would severely decrease their aid to under represented groups, it was reinstated. The decreased revenue and refunds due to the pandemic is hitting all schools. Dartmouth has eliminated 5 sports. Stanford while not an Ivy League school has eliminated 11 varsity sports. As a group there only 5 sports which generate a profit across DI schools: all men's sports, basketball, baseball, Lacrosse, Hockey and Wrestling. Certain schools may generate profits from sports such as football but as a whole sports do not generate much profit.

The Ivy League has cancelled all Fall Sports.

With the multiplier for the year each game would be about 2.7 games of service, if I read how they are calculating it correctly. So 30 games would be nothing in a regular year but will count as 1/2 season for service time. I don't think it would be worth it for a player who hasn't played above A+.

If they were in this situation, I think they would sign one of the veterans from the Nashville pool. I can't imagine the Sox burning a year of service time for a handful of games. They should be getting good now and he will extend that window.

I think the fall back option would be Garcia. There is no way they are playing Vaughn in the MLB this year.

Cleveland Riverfire. Where else does water start on fire?

Almost!

Me too. However, I'm being selfish as it's my birthday. ?

I agree. I'm in between on any of the human mascots. It's weird to have any human ones. But I could be persuaded either way.

I agree my favorite baseball themed movie and I was in Major League.

I have a favorite for the new name of the Washington football franchise: the Redtails. Name after the squadron nickname of the Tuskegee airmen. I heard it on the news. I wish I would have come up with it. I'm not necessarily a fan of team mascots being named after humans but I like this one.

Totally understandable. Does he get credit for a year of service since he was on the list of 44 but opted out?

Just curious, do you have a problem calling a school the fighting Irish because it's not a minority group?

It was fun. People react weird sometimes to their first true injury. Not even counting this, he really seemed to change after it.

I haven't seen much of due to athletes being very wary. It is used as a drug to wean people off of opiates. It does give an opiate like effect and is highly addictive like opiates. The current trend is to stay away from opiates and similar drugs. There isn't much research on it but most say it's not advisable because it is mostly a symptom mask and the addictive quality. Again I cant say I have much experience with it though just what I've read.

I guess that's more what I meant. I wonder how they will determine the new name? Fan vote?

This will be an interesting negotiation.

I agree. He would add value for many teams.
