I can't imagine knowing exactly what this team is going to be this year, yet spending any amount of time researching their spring training team stat rankings. Obvious stat is Obvious. Well no s%*#.

ReYlO was taken.

I don't know bob.

An extra $4 million is another lineman or something.

There are some legit young guys in those buckets to where they are almost bonus points if they breakout. Obviously they could be doing better, but it feels like we are getting a breakout or two a year from guys who weren't top signings, which is a big thing down there. Really be nice if we start seeing similar from all of the pitchers and catchers we keep bringing in from Latin America.

Well that in the 80's when I was down there, hitting them was the unofficial sport of the truck drivers...

Pretty sure I don't remember him on the invite list.

The drive on 45 between Houston and Dallas used to be loaded with them, especially further north.

I don't know what that means in terms of cap hit, but hopefully that cuts back a few million on the bottom line charge.

The video was from 3 months ago. It was the only video I have seen showing him swinging the bat.,

I know there aren't many more meaningless things than spring training stats from your stars, but I am also thrilled we didn't give Rodon his lottery ticket contract. It is going to be insanely awful for a guy who has never stayed healthy or consistent.

And he looks tall, so he should be a star.

If I ever believed anyone said it, it was him.

DodgerTalk is probably losing their collective minds as we speak.

Not going to lie, this is the leader in the clubhouse.

Yes. He had a kid with horrible health problems and did not play in 2023.

As with many occupations, the former is directly related to the latter.

He yeah looks like a whole other kid in the second pic.

Luis Robert was a teen when signed.

He looks like he is 13! He is signing for $2 million and last we knew officially we had like $1.8 million left in this class without the DR signings, that probably means a lot more of this years money is gone but not announced yet. Otherwise it would make sense to take a bit less money this year to get to playing organized baseball again, versus sitting out a whole other year for another 200-300k.

They sure didn't think that around these parts.

There is a lot of stuff that isn't "right". You and I are better off than the vast majority of the country. Does that stop us from taking advantage of the system to get every single tax deduction and penny at work we can bring in? It sure doesn't stop me.

This happens everywhere in the US every single day, people just don't pay attention to it.
