Is the open Q&A even a thing anymore? I thought I remembered reading it was not done anymore.

I am definitely curious to see if last year was an anomaly, or if the firing of Katz might have been related to this. Of course we will never know the latter, as our local media is too scared to ask such a question.

I wouldn't count on Bush until the ASB.

I would assume a MiLB deal with an invite? Hasn't been "good" in years. Anyone have background? Injury or just not good?

Caleb to the Da Bears, confirmed.

You got to the point in the end. It isn't a "choice" of drafting a star. Even drafting in the middle of the first round isn't a promise that you will get a starter, let alone a star, and you even put a great list of busts together to prove the point. You can go through most teams 1st round picks and find this out. If the Sox get a no bat, defensive whiz out of Billy Carlson at pick 10, they did their job, and came out ahead of expected results.

You won't until spring

Yes, I have standards. Congratulations on finally figuring it out. Now ask yourself why after you made this list talking about continuing to rage post reply to all of my posts, you spend so much time obsessing over me. Is it either you enjoy unhappiness , your standards are too high or you need another team that meets your standards. Remember, no one is forcing you to be unhappy.

Literally the only good reason to grab a guy like this is with the hope of flipping him at the deadline, and well to be honest, we have all seen what the price of flawed OFs at the deadline looks like the past few years.

Yeah, I don't even mean it as a real comp, but more of the poster child for a stud defender that you hope his bat catches up with.

I hear his description and I instantly thought of Royce Clayton, wherein on the years that his bat carried, he was one of the better SS's in the game, but when it couldn't the glove did the talking.

If this team was even a long toss within .500 I would care more about the actual make up of the roster. With three straight 100 loss seasons, and the predictions looking really damned close to a 4th, these years are all about finding who will be on your next decent team. Bader, will not.

It is so outrageous to have a negative opinion on a franchise that is on it's third straight 100 loss season, has never signed anyone to a nine figure contract, and has one of the lowest rates of being in the playoffs of any original franchise.

Counterpoint: You don't have to happily accept terrible baseball. You are allowed to have standards.

And the guy they should have picked was #2.

Counterpoint: Spending did work out well for the Dodgers. Do that instead.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Wish I could be like ESPN sometimes.

Go Rams!

With the weather, it might be a while if this requires anything in person. The Eastern half of the US is a disaster right now.

Unless someone pops during the season and we get one at the deadline.

Better walk this back then.

As you move the goalposts just note that it might not be where you think we will be, but that is pretty much the definition of where the masses think we will be, which was the original point. The masses think we will be at 96 to 98 losses next year.
