Samuels is eligible at TE because he played TE in college. Or more accurately might be H Back. He did get 182 carries over his career there.

I missed the playoffs. My team wasn't that bad but I always found ways to lose. Had plenty of weeks in the top 3 in points where I would lose. But I also lost to the team who had 0 other wins 80-67 a few weeks ago, so I probably didn't deserve much. Still have my work league I guess.

It's crazy we've had two different Jim Boylen's as replacement coaches.

I'm likely moving to Portland next year so this is great news to me.

Every way? Barkley and Beckham are pretty good.

My Brother in Law just got season tickets this year (well only half the season). He got on the list when he lived down the street from the UC in 2010. Whoops

Davidson is eligible for arbitration after only 2+ years of service, rather than the usual 3, since he was in the top 22% of service time for those between 2 and 3 years. He was at 2 years 145 days. The cutoff this year was 2 years 134 days. It means he'll get more money than the set pre-arb value (~$575K i think)

So the bigger market teams get a worse compensation pick when they lose a free agent? I didn't know that. That is pretty crappy.

Not sure this is threadworthy but Davidson acheived Super 2 Status so he'll be eligible for arbitration. Probably why Hahn is downplaying his pitching prospects!

Having an 80-85 win team with a bunch of talented, high end developing prospects seems like a great place to be. I can understand a bit of trepidation with free agent signings given Hahn's history though.

Ya I'm in both of the recently started soxtalk dynasty/keeper leagues. The 30 teamer is huge but it ran pretty smoothly last year. That being said, I'd be interested in joining this league as well, especially with the auction.

I would be surprised if Klay ever played an NBA game for a team other than the warriors.

I have the opportunity to vote for former Oakland Raiders linebacker Napoleon Harris. Thats actually listed on his Bio on BallotReady.

The Hate U Give was very good, powerful. Some of the actors were weak but it didnt detract from the movie too much.

I think 23 is historically on the older side for women's gymnastics, but Aly Raisman was in her 20s at the last olympics and she did well. Simone will definitely be there in 2020 and I'd expect her to win everything again

Donaldson and Keuchel or Morton. I still think Brantley makes sense still but he probably can't play CF anymore, even for 1 season. So I guess he's not as good of a fit.

He did say there would be election threads. So at least there should be some discussion about whats going on. I thought the midterms thread you started was very good and informative. (i never post in buster but i did read it every day)

I see Basabe starting at AA. Hopefully he starts like he did in A+ last year then they can move him to AAA. I also think Steele will start in Kanny.

So, the Birmingham OF will have Gonzalez, Rutherford, Basabe, Adolfo, Call and Booker to start the year with Robert close behind. Its good to have a lot of talent but it'll be interesting to see how they handle the logjam.

Its crazy that the hawks have had 5 overtime games and yet none have gone to shootout.

What is the anticipated salary for Arenado, considering his career OPS outside of Coors is right around .800, but knowing he is still a great hitter and probably an even better defender?

Boone Logan and Dan Jennings, although they arent on the playoff roster I dont think. Also, Caulfield will remind you that Junior Guerra was in the sox system

I watched the statcast broadcast and thought he did well. One moment made me cringe though and it is something he does often. When Contreras's knee started bothering him during one of his at bats in extra innings Benetti goes: In a city known for stars winning championships, feeling sick...notably in a bulls uniform...Contreras though has a more emergent issue... What does that have anything to do with anything, and why be coy with the reference? I dunno, cut out some of that meandering nonsense and he'll be fine.

It's time to let him go. Tip your cap to him for being one of the few guys this year who threw 200 innings and find someone better. My suggestion is still Morton but I know that most think that's a long shot.

I'm going to this game! ...
