Lol. Burger was way too young compared to some of these guys. Apparently...the goal is for them to gel together and hit the ground running when they are all in Years 30-32. It's ridiculous Ortega even got so much play in the first place. One thing Burger at least had last year was elite EV/bat speed compared to the majority of his teammates.

The Jacksonville Jaguars' "Stadium of the Future" is a go, as the franchise and city came to an agreement on a $1.4 billion project on Tuesday. The proposal will see each side contribute $625 million to the project and Jacksonville would chip in another $150 million to get EverBank Stadium ready for construction beginning in 2026. The team will also not include any new taxes to pay for the rebuild. Now that the plan was presented to a city council on Tuesday, members are slated to vote on it in June with a majority of 19 members needed to pass. Then, it would advance to the NFL owners meeting in October where they'd need 24 of 32 votes to reach final approval. With construction set to begin after the 2025 season, the Jaguars would play in front of a reduced capacity crowd in 2026 and then host home games in either Gainesville or Orlando in 2027. The updated look of EverBank Stadium was revealed last summer, representing the next step in the team's efforts to transform downtown Jacksonville. The Jaguars plan to make the stadium four times as wide as the current one with interactive social areas and food local to the city. The stadium will include state of the art technology and a shade canopy to reduce heat retention by 70%. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jaguars-city-of-jacksonville-agree-on-1-4-billion-stadium-of-the-future/

KW lol? From the Marlins' perspective, they made the playoffs because of Burger and Josh Bell. Let's wait and see if Eder provides anything close to that as a building block...

It would only be meaningful if James Wood made his big league debut...

Never had time to since he didn't even play in an ACL game...

Garcia got a ton of value out of OF assists last year...

You can have Vaughn OR Sheets. I'll take Burger. Final season OPS. Highest number wins.

The Marlins are still better positioned for the future than the White Sox...and that's despite having one of the five worst farm systems in baseball and only the 16th pick in the first round of this June's draft.

And yet they can't even come up with a legitimate1B, even if you give the Sox multiple first and second round attempts at it...well, I guess Vaughn has improved his flexibility almost enough to do the splits, so that has to be worth something or other. In the end, the Marlins are going to be sold off for a new set of position players while they wait for their pitching staff to return to health. Chisholm will get them something legit back. Alcantara, Cabrera and Eury Perez are the keys to anything that franchise is going to do in the future.

Pretty challenging to come up with many starting rotations better than this current Sox-related one: 1) Cease 2) Sale 3) Lopez 4) Rodon 5) Your choice of Lynn, Dunning, or Montas Chris Bassitt would traditionally have been up there but definitely not THIS season, at least so far.

Obliques are the very worst possible injury for a hitter. We excused Benintendi's wrist for going on how many seasons now? Not to mention Burger doesn't have nearly the number of plate appearances because he missed so much time already...numbers can change quite quickly, still.

López, R 5.0 2 0 0 2 4 0 1.34 versus the Cubs at least

Not quite as much of a concern not being a high 90s fireballer and not having that long history of MLB innings...but something to definitely consider.

Berroa got torched in AAA svo. No Montgomery. Nastrini not shockingly with a high ERA.

Tough balancing act not to end up like Rodon 2021 down the stetch...pitching primarily on fumes.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/column-nothing-obvious-chicago-white-004300718.html It seems obvious Ramos will stick around even when Danny Mendick returns off the 10-day injured list. “It’s not obvious,” Grifol countered. OK. Never mind. “He’s got to continue to play,” Grifol said. “This is not a four out of seven (series). This is a long haul. He’s doing really well right now. We’re taking it day by day with him. We’re not going to be quick to evaluate — ‘He’s staying the whole year’ or ‘He’s going down.’ “That’s not how this process is going to work. Right now he’s doing everything he’s capable of doing to show he belongs here. He’s putting good at-bats together and playing good defense, but at the same time he’s extremely young. This is his first taste of the big leagues.”

Was on briefly before getting cut...

performance bonuses: $100,000 for each game started from 11 to 25 GS $100,000 for each 5 innings pitched from 55 to 125 IP

Pham and DeJong too...

Garfien doing a Schiffren impersonation now...thanks to Ozzie rubbing him. Good stuff.

Not sure even Leury could have messed up that first pop-up. Schiffren should be doing Shakespeare lol. He's had way too many energy drinks.
