Interesting thought - do you think any 2018 Astros will be held out due to this? I doubt Verlander will because he is a pitcher and was already a HOFer before the scandal. Altuve has HOF numbers. I wonder if the scandal will keep him out.

We miss you @greg775! Come back to us!

1. A 4th starting pitcher 2. An additional reliever 3. More @greg775

Any reason why this stopped?

Lol, talk about a massive stretch

The Chicago Birdhawks perhaps? Still get the "B" name. They can use that sweet bird logo they have. Any proposed name change or nickname must be approved by @ChiliIrishHammock24, so I will defer to him for the final verdict.

Should the Blackhawks and fighting irish go?

But for real, do you guys think the Blackhawks are next? Do you think they should change it?

The Cleveland Politically Correct Baseball Team

PC is ruining this country! Smh

Will Soxtalk move on from it?

I think everybody here owes La Russa a heartfelt apology

CaliSoxFan wins!!!!

Deception and good command? The stuff doesn't look overpowering, but it works.

This is what I think when I watch him. Completely mediocre fastball. Breaking stuff seems decent. Delivery looks deceptive, but I still can't believe the numbers he has put up with the stuff he has.

I remember watching brad hand pitch against the Sox and being completely underwhelmed by his stuff, mainly his fastball. His delivery looked pretty deceptive, though. His numbers are consistently solid.

Seriously?... That is just so absurd. I get that Reinsdorf is stupidly loyal to a fault, but hiring a manager and instantly granting him more power than the GM who assembled this great, young squad? That just seems like a stretch. I don't buy that La Russa is dictating the moves. Hahn would have a job as the Mets GM by now if that was the case. Edit: when I say absurd, I'm not directing it at you. I think this organization is absurd for this even being a possibility, which it definitely is knowing our freaking owner. Im guessing that isn't the case yet, but who knows. I'm holding out hope that Reinsdorf isn't this deranged.

Any chance Yermin is the opening day DH?

Lmao

Thank you poppy! Always a man of reason. Spending on a DH when Vaughn will be ready so soon is just silly. Give Yermin and Collins a chance. One of them could turn into a big time bat.

You gotta do better than that my friend. To compete with the big dogs such as myself and fathom, you'll have to be getting 30+ reputation points in a given day.

That's amazing. Cheesy beef just steals ideas from here and throws them all out there. Dudes a fraud. Not sure how he got any following. Come at me cheesy!

Thank you for providing an exact number. I'll have to include that in my signature so people know what my reputation points should actually be.

Wow! My reputation points have been stripped! The totally corrupt moderator staff strikes again. Smh

A man who can literally speak with baseballs and hear what they have to say. Sounds like a Hollywood hit.
