There is going to be so much weird shit come out of this.

The Senate punted on a bill requiring paid sick leave. Considering many people live paycheck to paycheck, this ain't happening.

The physician for Congress and the Supreme Court said 80 to 150 million people in the US will likely get infected. If we take that low number and apply a 1% fatality rate, which I need to stress the stated fatality rate could be higher (if we go by diagnosed cases divided by death) or lower, we get 800,000 dead in the US. That would have a catastrophic butterfly effect on the healthcare system and the US as a whole.

Well, there goes the College World Series.

We have Grandal, Encarnación, Abreu, and McCann on the MLB roster. Collins can play semi-passable defense. Vaughn is 21 and the #3 pick. Right now, if Yermin is the 26th man, he's getting at bats in National League games when they take the second pitcher out. If Encarnación goes down for any extended period, Yermin needs McCann traded to have an audition period where he can prove the DH spot is his, not Abreu's, when Vaughn inevitably arrives. So, if he can play defense, we're talking.

This I agree with.

Defense.

I'm sold from the title and tease alone.

Grandal caught 137 and 135 games the past two years.

Pretty sure it was always Moncada or Benintendi Kopech Devers (Hahn's ask) or Basabe / Diaz

I like Dunning, but let's cool the jets. Lopez had a pretty good 2018 and Rodon, at times, has flashed being the ace we hoped we'd be getting but has had issues with health and consistency. Let's see Dunning perform above AA before anointing him.

Ok. We stopped talking about Jake Burger a long time ago. If anyone wants to discuss PEDs in sports, go to the pub. If we want to actually discuss Burger's future or what he's doing in Glendale, create a new thread.

And Arizona Fall League* Truthfully, we should just really try to convince the Dbacks to trade for him.

Offensive: Engel Defensive: Engel Overall: Engel

I know you've heard Garfein gush about his Bull Durham homer. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/story-luis-roberts-mammoth-home-run-over-bull-durham Or this one that went over the scoreboard

Turn on the broadcast, Cubs broadcasters are taking pity on the Astros.

Learning about that upside target at #11 is exciting, not gonna lie. But also, today I learned my hometown is responsible for Honel and I don't think I can forgive @Y2Jimmy0 for that.

How dare you besmirch Putnam like that.

This part is fantastic.

3 bad innings as a Cub vs. 140 pretty good innings as a White Sox Yeah, he's an ex-Cub.

3rd catcher / insurance in case of injury. For all of the griping over the years about Collins' defense, Mercedes makes him look like Yadier Molina.

So, who is your extra catcher? Zavala?

This board: Yermin will be David Ortiz Also this board: Pass on Luis Colas, too fat

Yeah. Unless he's requested a trade ... I need to see Yermin, Collins or even Zavala absolutely crushing the ball before I want to move McCann for bullpen help unless we're getting a good reliever + a prospect. Like, there's just not an urgency at the moment unless we're getting a really good offer from the Astros or Rockies.

Rick Hahn isn't going to come out and say "Yermin sucks behind the plate." He's also said Collins can catch and defensively improved.
