Why? Because they make a lot of money?

Specifically I am not talking about him not being able to defensively handle SS, I am talking about his not being able to hit a velocity fastball.

Or the worries about Montgomery are legitimate.

45 wins instead of 41. Awesome.

I was waiting to see who would catch this. We keep hearing about how lazy and bad of teammates some of these guys are, but Michael Kopech is the only I have seen who keeps saying the quiet parts out loud.

Only if he learns to stay healthy first.

This. Take the best deal and forget all of the BS. If it is the Cubs/Twins/Gards/whoever, take it and move on.

Or they get a metric fuckton for him.

Sending Crochet to the Cubs would be nuts.

Well the problem is we apparently don't have any scouts, and just like to ask our coaches, so this will go well.

I have no idea, but odds are at least one, if not two. Hell maybe even all three. Growth isn't linear.

Jesus, even the homeless A's are spending money. God I hate being a Sox fan these days.

There is no way on god's green earth that all of those guys are ready on April 1st. None. If by some miracle we have too much pitching, and these guys are forcing their way on to the roster, trade someone. I can't remember the last time this actually happened though, and sure don't think it will happen in 2025.

RIP Bill. Great guy.

If a player fouls out, they aren't shooting free throws.

Then we aren't going to be good until next decade.

It is one thing to have specialists. It is another to be able to reuse the same players. In the NBA I can't take someone who got fouled out and put Michael Jordan in for him to because he is better. This isn't even a logic progression of something we already do, such as the pitch clock. This is an entirely new and made up thing that has no place in the game.

Eh, there is no way all of those guys are ready to have respectable seasons where they throw 150 innings. Whether it be injuries, or failures, or whatever else, there will be plenty of innings to fill. Guys somewhere between Fedde and Flexin type signings are fine for this group.

Why stop there? Let's let Ohtani face Ohtani for every AB in every game, that way we always have the best vs the best.
