Wouldn't have minded Stephen Vogt as a backup catcher. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/01/stephen-vogt-hosting-workout.html

I yearn for the mid-40s temps we are getting this weekend. It's going to feel like 80 degrees compared to what we've gotten this week lol

Yep. Right there with you in the accounting world.

Yeah what was the point of being sentenced to a lifetime ban if they lifted it anyway?

I wish this temps were this bad at any other point in the month...has to be the week of month end close when I actually have stuff to do.

Is Starbucks even open? I know a lot of places in the loop are closed today (can't confirm myself but heard from others talking about it on the train home last night).

Dammit.

Alright peeps. I've been out since I got home from work. Besides the song from Beauty and the Beast, what have I missed?

Taking all their numbers at face value, without counting steroids?

I'm going to predict first week of March is when he signs.

Yeah you would think a team like the Brewers have a need at 2B would grab Harrison.

I appreciate that they're at least not tanking. The one year stop gaps would only be ok if they didn't deal away a couple of nice spects as well. The only deal I like so far for them is the Gray deal.

I was trying to light a fire under this thread haha

I was definitely having a major brain cramp when I asked that question haha I give credit for younger pitchers but veterans are so volatile and random from year to year it's hard to really say who the credit should go to. Unless I missed somewhere that Soria gave credit to Coop for his success.

If he signs for 10 years/$350m, that covers the highest deal ever and highest AAV correct?

When was the last time Coop fixed someone?

I thought of that too. It won't happen regardless, but signing him for one year makes more sense than trading for one year of him one year into a rebuild.

He really does.

Why would you even want to sign him to that deal.

It's a shame about Halladay because he has said in the past he wants to go in as a Jay.

Wow almost exact.

I think it would be: 30-33: early 30s 34-36: mid 37-39: late

Dude, I'm on a train that is having some bad issues right now. I've already scouted out who I'm going to eat if I'm stranded here any longer.

New game: what page will we be on when this is finally over, whatever the outcome?
