Grandal playing both double header games while TA does not is just straight fucking LOL.

Uh, it's actually not. It's right on the MLB scholarship page. Called "CEP guide for players". Right above the link you just provided... Which is just a reimbursement guide. MLB | College Scholarship | MLB.com

Your grasp of the English language seems to be the issue here.

Source? Because this right from MLB, disagrees with you: MLB | College Scholarship | Player Guide 2017 | MLB.com

The MLB was quite literally BUILT on not paying players full salaries when they ARE productive early in their careers. What are we even talking about here?

They're forcing players to choose between going to college and being a kid, or immediately starting their "pro" career. I'd wager the overwhelming majority of these 17 and 18 year old high school kids lack the maturity to be a "professional" anything. Let alone thrown into an MLB farm system. Yes, the higher round picks are well compensated, but how many rounds are there in the MLB draft, again? And from what I understand, that college scholarship program is a negotiated part of their first contract. Meaning, not all players get it? Do we really believe an owner like Reinsdorf is paying for college for ALL of the guys that they draft? Lol, come on. My statement really wasn't about Noah Schultz. It's a general statement about the MLB's draft policy. The MLB is the only sport that works this way, and forces kids to choose college or a pro career immediately. Hell, the NBA won't even let you draft high school kids. I think kids having to make those decisions right out of high school is fucked up. But to each their own.

The whole can't go to college thing with MLB draft picks is such a terrible, unethical fucking part of the game. Kids shouldn't have to make that choice.

What a fucking ignorant comment. You have NO idea what's going on with him.

That was eight years ago. He's also 35 years old. It might be age more than anything.

I find it interesting how many people here make fun of Lance Lynn for his weight, while we all love Cueto. Who is also a fat ass. Lol Baseball history is riddled with fat asses that performed just fine.

Six is more than enough with the way Sox hitters have looked. Hell, one might be.

See White Sox? That's what you do with slow shit right down the middle.

It's insane.

Just when this team shows you some sparks of life, they come out like this. Bundy has nothing and the Sox still don't have a hit.

Bundy 87 with no movement. Jesus Christ. Someone tee off on this garbage.

Knees are kind of important for a pitcher. Just saying.

Lynn starting to hit 94-95. Good to see.

Lmao! How the fuck was that a strike?

Don't understand how Bundy is effective. 89-90 with little movement... Sox should be crushing him.

Yeah. It's about wins and losses. And this team has too few wins, and too many losses, given the division they play in and their roster. Taking 3/4 from the Twins doesn't change that.

Zavala has been another pleasant surprise. I love Johnny Cueto. Just a workhorse.

What the fuck?

That was one of the hardest home runs I've ever seen. He almost killed someone in the second balcony.

Good points. Super strange, that's for sure.

For surgery to be the solution, it would have to be a complete tear, right? I've never heard of surgery on a hamstring otherwise. Given how many injuries can be resolved with physical therapy nowadays, I find it kind of disturbing how quickly guys on this team go under the knife. Surgery should be the last option for something like a hamstring.
