This right here. It treats the final expectations from 5-1, 5-4, 5-4, 5-4, 5-4 the same as it would 12-0, 4-5, 3-4, 3-4, 3-4

Effectively it is believed to be literally 5%, so barely breaking above zero. https://packetstorm.com/the-myth-of-spring-training-records-do-they-predict-mlb-regular-season-success/

Maybe YEARS down the road.

And the rub.

It's funny people are mad, because this crap is still happening.

More billions.

On the date the sale closed, the SP 500 closed at 1410.49. Today it is at 6869 as we speak. That would have been a return of 487%.

Honestly it might be easier to keep him then. They can use some IL time, and also use a rehab assignment to kill part of the season if they like him. Technically he only has to be on the ACTIVE roster for 90 days of a season to fill his roster requirement.

This is where the current market for fringey back up catchers has been this winter. Maybe someone who really NEEDS him at the end of ST, say due to injury or in camp flops, throws a bit of cash at Jerry to jump the waiver line, but I can't see him returning an actual player, and definitely not one of substance.

He might not have been the BEST pick, but it's way too soon to label him as a WASTED pick. Right now things are still way more gray than that. If we get a mid rotation starter, he was a good pick. If we get a front line starter, he was a great pick. If he washes out, he was a wasted pick. But as of today, we don't know what he will be.

Judging by us getting Romo on Waivers, and then waiving him, I am going to go with zero.

But your cash means more.

Leave it to Ron to start this thread.

Mostly because The Region is very liberal, and the state legislature is a GOP supermajority, and they don't give a s%*# about what we think.

The White Sox stadium should be paid off by then which fixes the Bears biggest problem with the state

That he is probably the same dude he has always been.

People not adequately praising it.

The message is they will do whatever it takes to attract business. Illinois is losing that battle right now.

NO way. Indiana absolutely intended to get the Bears if the Bears were willing to go, at a price better than Illinois was willing to pay. Illinois was the one only willing to spend a certain amount to get the Bears to stay.

Oh they did. Even sticking Illinois with a bigger bill is a win to them. Plus they get all of the free publicity.

Yep, the Bears got what they wanted from Indiana.

Honestly it was a great park, all except for the office building in LF blocked the airflow of moving air into the stadium. Having sat in the first two Arlington Stadiums for games, the first was was 70's generic, but at least when it was 105, the air moved. That didn't happen in Part 2. If the back of the stadium had been open to moving air, it probably drops the temp on the field 10 to 15 degrees.

That back injury scares me more than anything else. Not really understanding what happened to him last year I HOPE it was injury related, but it was never really explained, so I have no idea if it was more than that or not.

The Sox are absolutely monitoring everything and applying loyal tests to them.

I only wish they had done this previously when they could have gotten some return for their players instead of expiring contracts and 2nd round picks.
