I've got all 3. I live a mile from the beach (and go at least 2 to 3 times a week during the summer especially), my property taxes are under $1000 a year, the South Shore train takes me to the Randolph street station in Chicago if I need it (and did for 15 years)

The single greatest thing about living in The Region is the best of both worlds. Illinois money at Indiana prices. It is even better now that I don't even have to commute into Chicago to get it.

Got it. I didn't realize it looked different. When I pulled up Kopech's page it went right to his rankings page. Again, my mistake.

I managed to find a completely different version of that page without it. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/reedje03.shtml

That's odd then, as it isn't listed on his BR page. If that is true, that is my mistake.

Indiana looks forward to JB's election. The exodus out of the state is going to really accelerate with all of the new taxation that is coming.

As a floor, sure.

Jeremy Reed had one tool, and wasn't nearly as universally beloved as Madrigal. He was never even a Top 100 guy.

Yeah if you are going to straight up comp the two, Madrigal has a much higher floor, and a much lower ceiling. Moncada has a chance to be a superstar, but a chance to end up in an Avi Garcia type of career. Madrigal has a chance to be a star, but is almost certain to be a 10 year starter, as he had 3 major league ready tools on draft day.

Correction. You are the only one who is having a meltdown about it.

That's cute. You run around this thread calling everyone names who you don't agree with and insulting their intelligence, but that's fine. If you want to talk about standards, you should try out your own first.

Sure. But we have let you post anyway.

Right Bro?

Bingo.

The contract negotiations surrounding these picks has also taken on a lot more importance in an effort to try to utilize cap space later in the draft. Don't discount that motivation when a team is deciding who to pick.

The fun part is here. Carlos Sanchez at age 21: .241/.293/.296/.589 in 479 PAs that generated 20 2B, 2 3B, and 0 HR at AAA. This year in a partial season, Nick put up .303/.353/.374/.701 in his first season in pro ball. He also generated 7 doubles in 173 PAs, or almost exactly on a 20 double pace if given the same amount of PAs as Yolmer at AAA.

No pitching in the top 6? That won't last.

Somebody previously mentioned Seattle as a good comp, where they had extra money to spend because of Wilson being cheap, and they took full advantage of it.

Of course, because it the game they are most likely to look bad in.

So they know that this person might be guilty of serious crimes, but if the GOP is willing to ignore it, so should the Dems? Explain to me how this situation is different than the investigation and subsequent questioning and impeachment of Bill Clinton.

Is this really going back to the draft picks for Mack? That the Bears won't be able to draft another quarterback in two years because of this? Is that what this means?

But at the same time, it is a crime that an investigation is taking place. Makes sense.

Again, if they have this ability to do this out of no where, why have they not weaponized this prior to now? Gorsuch would have been a more obvious target after the Garland fiasco.
