QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jan 24, 2018 -> 08:53 PM) Johan Santana was the best pitcher in the game for a 5 to 7-year period. I think he's a Hall of Famer and it's criminal that he's off the ballot already. I can’t argue with him getting less than 5 percent based on the rest of the ballot and who is still on there, but the system should change in some way to give guys a longer look. As time goes on, players that debuted after 1997 will be evaluated much differently than the previous 15 years, so Santana may have been an oversight.

Good class this year. Johan fell off the ballot. Andruw got 7.3. Rivera, Halladay, Helton, Pettitte, Berkman, Oswalt, and Tejada on the 2019 ballot.

24 hours until the announcement. Hoffman 78.4 Martinez 77.1 Hoffman may go higher; Edgar is slipping the other way.

First spring training game a month from today. https://mobile.twitter.com/ChrisKuc/status/...7958534/photo/1

Also Danny Hayes was invited last year but not this year. Perhaps he’s following the other Dan Hayes.

Two guys invited last year, but not this year- Courtney Hawkins and Spencer Adams. Adams not invited is interesting.

Not invited to big league camp.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 22, 2018 -> 11:46 AM) TJ House... I don't remember seeing that signing. Is that new? Last month. He and another lefty got signed. Other dude (Matt Tomshaw) wasn't invited.

https://twitter.com/NotMrTibbs/status/955299343895969792 Looks like Edgar is a borderline call this year. He'll get in next year if not Wednesday. It'll be interesting to see if Johan Santana and Andruw Jones fall off the ballot, which I have no problem with.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 21, 2018 -> 05:13 PM) Didn’t Crasnick do this same type of “trade coming but no details” leak when we traded for Soria? Yeah, that’s why this one got my attention.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 21, 2018 -> 04:49 PM) If we're talking position players going to Milwaukee, Yolmer makes the most sense for the Brewers Agreed. I don’t think Avi is getting traded before July. (Now watch Avi go tonight)

Before seeing it may be the Sox, I was thinking Chris Archer. We’lll see.

Crasnick saying the Brewers are about to make a trade. https://mobile.twitter.com/jcrasnick/status...205368669491200

7th on the MLB Network list.

Next week I’d expect. They probably didn’t want to announce during the hitters camp.

Hayes to The Athletic covering the Twins.

Adolfo is a Lebron James doppelganger. Lil bit.

Another member of the 1959 team died this weekend. LHP, Rudy Arias. He was born in Cuba, and threw 44 innings for the 59 team--got injured in August and never pitched in the big leagues again.

The MLB Network series, Top 10 Right Now, starts Saturday night with SS and 3B. They’ll do RF and 2B on the 20th.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 11, 2018 -> 11:03 AM) I am somewhat, somewhat surprised he got an MLB deal not gonna lie. Only complaining due to 40 man. They could outright Jacob May, I would think.
