Yeah I was more speaking to the case where evidence is readily available as opposed to this former M's employee situation where we just have her social media posts.

The italicized isn't a characterization of this thread in any away. As far as the bolded, it's just wrong. This isn't even a matter of statistics but for some reason you keep circling back to stats. You'll just make some snide comment and plow through anyone disagreeing with your baseless claims, so it's not worth going through, but in short, this is not nearly as cut and dried as you are presenting it to be.

Swetnick's initial sworn statement was that Kavanuagh was involved with spiking the punch. She later walked back her comments saying he was near the punch bowl. It's the changing of her sworn statement that has led a Harvard law professor to suggest she be tried for perjury.

Two different women (at least) were fabricating their stories about Kavanaugh. Judy Munro-Leigthton was referred to the FBI for her fabrications of getting raped in a car by Kavanaugh. She has since retracted. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/kavanaugh-accuser-admits-she-fabricated-allegations/ Julie Swetnick said that Kavanugh partook in gang raping and that was normal at Yale. She hasn't admitted she lied but none of her classmates corroborate her story and plenty deny it. Dershowitz recommended criminal charges https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/26/us/politics/julie-swetnick-avenatti-kavenaugh.html?module=inline https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/alan-dershowitz-if-julie-swetnick-lied-she-should-be-tried-for-perjury-and-sent-to-prison

He referenced me to google when I asked him where he was getting those numbers from.

These transactions are pending physicals. Teams could have their own physicians look into it.

That’s not a political opinion that’s a possible outcome of this situation. If this prompts more women to come forward with similar stories the MLB will have to respond to it all. They’re not the NFL, they will hire a PR firm and they will handle it up front. Probably some job initiative involved.

I'll take it as you can't support that point.

I don't post anywhere near as much as I used to. We have engaged more often than you realize. I don't typically have people coming at me without cause in PHT. I don't think you should drag your personal stuff in here and blame others for derailing the thread while you derail the thread.

And you have your blatant comments that are offensive at best. I dont follow you around pestering you for it. And for someone supposedly concerned with threads being closed you sure have no problem derailing them without any specific points to your claims.

Could you provide your source on this? With range like that you know it has to be a valid report.

What did I do? Put me on block if you have a problem. I didn't break any rules and I didn't do anything to get this thread shut down.

Given that he's a 1B only (if that) and he'll be 32 in January, his contract is far more dependent on his 2019 season than other players.

The poster posted one possible fallout from this and I posted the counter point. There were no political opinions made. Don't try and drag others down with you.

Not sure if related, but Kimberly Clark is moving into an office downtown.

Is there anything rumored to be going on with that lot? It would be a massive project but I would love the Sox to move over there with the skyline coming up behind the batters eye. A lot of highways spit out into the city right aroudn there too.

I like how he puts "thread derailed" before he posts as if it excuses his post's lack of relevance.

That's not what he's saying. He actually made a pretty astute point. The timing of most leaks isn't coincidental. The other team still has Martes on their roster so they don't want it leaked. If Sox hypothetically leaked it, it plays as "One of the best organizations in the league was willing to give up a former top prospect and live arm who's fallen on hard times but still just 22 for Garcia." Great timing considering they're on the verge of cutting ties with him for nothing.

No but I know the Sox have tried trading Avi over the last 24 months and even when he was hitting .330 and an All Star the market didn't value him whatsoever. People forget that the Sox were ready to move on from Avi before LaRoche brought on the Daddy Day Care saga.

Avi will not be on the roster on Opening Day 2019.

And the Astros backed out of a trade on account of this knee.

or it might cause the MLB to institute measures for preferential hiring

I'd be open for Donaldson though I know many are against it. His contract this offseason should fit into Sox plan. If we're living in dream scenario and Sox get Harper and are serious about Moncada to 3B (which I don't agree with), I'd target Danny Murphy (aware he sucks at defense) for 2B/1B/DH. Should be real cheap on a two year deal. Dude gives some really strong ABs. I wouldn't want to be a pitcher going through that 1-5. 2B Murphy 3B Moncada RF Harper 1B Abreu LF Jimenez DH Palka C Castillo/Narvaez SS Anderson CF

And what is the relevance of that?

Prof. Balta gives you a D on your offseason idea and bids you good day!
