In Cease's last start he went only one inning and was taken out. Any significance there? Is he okay?

What are you saying? Avoid Boros clients, which Rodon was ? Not that I disagree with that premise, just asking.

Never mind on Kendal. He was drafted first round a year or 2 later.

Don't remember. Jaren Kendal didn't even go in first round did he? I guess everyone liked Fulmer's herky jerky delivery. Buehler is smooth.

Pipe dreams. Ain't gonna happen. Forgetaboutit. Maybe Moncada should lose a few pounds. Looks pretty chunky.

Watching the playoff game between Dodgers and Rockies. Buehler pitching lights out for LA. Geez, he looks great. Could not help but notice that he was drafted in in first round by Dodgers at number 24 in 2015. Same year we picked Carson Fulmer at number 8. Both were teammates at Vanderbilt that year. How could Sox be so wrong?

Nope. That was the old system.

If Avi goes to arbitration, what is he likely to get next year? He was paid $6.7 Million this year, but he had a lousy year. If Sox are looking at paying him anything above $5 MM, he is probably gone. Chances are, arbitration might get him more than this year's salary. IOW, non-tendered.

Brewers got him pretty cheap, it turns out.

Why didn't Stewart sign with Braves?

Sure he will. He interviews well.

Just 3 games vs Twins.

Tigers rolling over for Twins

If he comes back, I'm calling him Jimmy.

Tigers won.

Enter Hahn the Negotiator.

Same here, Longshot.

And only 16 or so who are over .300

They did. 5 - 5 last 10 games.

Lots of .230-.240 hitters there. Not gonna work.

As soon as the first guy got on base, you knew what was gonna happen. Just had to work out the details.

Sorry to hear that. I remember him well.

My guess, based on nothing factual, just my own hunch, is that Rockies will offer Arenado a substantial extension this coming off season, especially if they decide to pass on Lemahieu, who becomes a FA this winter. They don't want to lose both, plus they have some good young guys who can take over.

Why would he sign with White Sox? First, he loves it in Colorado; second, he is a West Coast kid. IOW, 4 teams are in Calif, another in Phoenix. Oakland would be out, but that leaves 5 teams preferable to Chicago. I have my pipe dreams, this one is yours.

Speaking of Jimenez, where is he? Has anyone seen him? Last year he was working out with the team in September, did some interviews, etc.
