St Louis or the Vatican?

So they are stopping Baldwin from being in the majors because he has a flaw that MiLB pitchers don't exploit or expose, meaning he won't get practice to fix it. Brilliant.

Pretty much wherever you set the cut off, dude is in the low end of the middle tier.

Then why have you consistently been the high man on predicting how many wins this team will have?

The joke everyone wanted to be first to make, but only one can be.

Well, Miguel Vargas is 13th of 19 amongst 3Bs with his 1.3 fWAR, so I would love you see your "standards"

Look, you can doubt all you want, but the actions speak louder. Jerry already agreeing to sell has put a cap on what he can sell this team vs if they were just to wait until he died. If he didn't need a capital infusion, he wouldn't be selling.

Man our standards have just disappeared. Vargas is on pace for about a 3 WAR season, and that is the best of the lot. And that is "surprisingly good".

HE LITERALLY JUST SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO DO SO

Yet here you are doing the exact same thing. Take your own advice and move on.

Yeah, the fact they are building 20k plus stadiums for pro soccer in multiple US cities right now tells me soccer has exploded in popularity in the last 30 years. Sure it might not be on par with the big 4, but it HAS grown a ton.

If Vinny Capra can play 4 times a week, there is your ABs right there.

So what are the spending operations money on if it isn't a plug a hole in operations?

Yeah, that is a DEEP cut.

He quite literally just agreed to sell the team and it was disclosed that they are taking out loans for covering operating costs. You don't take out operations loans if you aren't losing money.

The Sox are losing money hand over fist and are much more worried about capital projects versus getting a few more people to game this year. Do me a favor. Forget about 2025 and 2026 as competitive seasons. It isn't going to happen. Give it up. There isn't going to spending. There isn't going to be additions. There isn't going to be hope. The Empire isn't striking back until after a CBA and/or a stadium announcement, and that is at the very least.

If I had a house for everytime you said that.... Well I'd have Lawrence Kansas.

He is, and that's saying something.

Bro we'd freak out over a league average player tight now.

And look, even if he needs some work, he obviously isn't getting that at Charlotte. These guys are all going to have to learn on the job eventually. The question is, should it be now while we are one of the worst teams in baseball, or when wins actually matter? That is unless these guys have that little faith in their development programs that they would rather send Vinny Capra out there on a daily basis than start one of their own guys.

Pretty much when we get articles like this, it seems as if we get a fraction of that return at the deadline.

Hopefully he gets hit clean up soon so he too can be cut.
