Yes! This is why you don't release rookies.

Adam Engel is almost to Mendoza.

All of the way down to the horrible outfielding.

Second time through the order looking much better.

This just in: Yoan Moncada es bueno.

Imo they need a dome worse than Minny does.

Like I said, an absolute joy. As a fan, he is my favorite.

The Rangers stadium is awful when it is hot. Because of the office building along the LF wall, there is no opening in the OF for air to flow through. The park is oppressively stagnant when it is hot there, which is pretty much from May to October.

Last I checked, Thompson has been about 50 OPS points WORSE than Engel, which is just scary. I don't think that he is THAT bad, but he sure hasn't shown otherwise at the major league level for quite some time now.

You could copy/paste this for the rest of the responses to this thread, but it wouldn't really matter.

We took a summer vacation down there last year. Our first day on Galveston Island it was a heat index of 114 when we got there.

Summers in Houston specialize in 120 degree heat indexes. Typically highs are in the 90's along with tropical humidities. it is BRUTAL.

As Tilson continues to get into a baseball rhythm for the first time in nearly two seasons, it becomes more and more plausible. His last 10 games he has hit .286 with 12 hits in 42 ABs over that time. He even has a 6 game hitting streak going now, with hits in 12 of his last 14 games. His average has gone from .208 to .237 in that time. His OPS is up 51 points during that same time frame. While he isn't killing the ball, he is probably to a point where he will give you more offense than Engel or Thompson, and he is supposed to be a solid OF defender as well.

Yeah this. I honestly think Yolmer is probably my favorite player as a fan, but if we got a decent trade offer for him, I'd drive him to ORD myself.

If it wasn't for the odd wall carve out that would have been well gone.

I really like the Alexei comp for Anderson. Their skills, tools and raw backgrounds are very similar in a lot of ways.

The only answer here is President Donald Trump. Style over substance. The Clintons were the masters of it until Trump came along to dethrone them as the King of getting people to vote against their own interests.

No more absurd than the idea you can exist without government.

Guess who the biggest landowner in the United States is? Guess who tells if you own land in the first place, and can kick you off of it if you don't pay enough?

You do. As you said previously, you can go somewhere else. You can farm and feed yourself.

That was a bomb too.

I thought Lester's offer was like $2 million per year more AND another year more than anyone else offered.
