Isn’t the 40 man at 39? otherwise Zavala is a candidate, too

I know Burnes was phenomenal last year, but he was putrid in 2019 in a roughly equal sample. His pitch data changed significantly, also, but I need a better track record for that package.

I think Tyler Flowers makes a lot of sense.

Haha well hey that’s just my observation. I’ve been wrong before.

I think his best shot is with another organization, personally.

The difference is Harold never claimed or tried to “break” info. That said, it’s entirely plausible the food guys get info, but not enough to know when things are done. Either way I don’t get the hand wringing. If Harold already knows everyone why does he care?

I’d be fine with Collins and going from there, but was reading an interview with Mickey Tettleton on FanGraphs where he mentions how particular Tony was about certain guys catching certain pitchers. It got me wondering whom he might have in mind as a backup. thoughts?

I know this is just a joke... but my cousin was a prominent nhl player and he has spent chunks of off-season time with his agent on numerous occasions. I don’t think it is that rare.

I follow the site more often than posts would suggest, and you are a good contributor. I don’t intend to be an asshole, just kidding around most of the time.

Kopech is SP Crochet is RP I think that’s the max value of both likely outcome and there isn’t wrong with either. Bullpen still has a stigma, but an arm like Crochet than can be deployed most days is an absolute weapon.

I was being sarcastic

This is definitely something that hasn’t been debated here and deserves its own thread.

I’m excited to see what this young man can do for our young arms. The harsh words for cooper are unfortunate, as he was an organizational asset for a long time, but the time had clearly come to say goodbye.

He was one of the managers growing up every fan knew. I don’t know a ton about him but from afar, but even from afar was a great ambassador for the game and we should all honour him. Even the Phanatic. Hopefully there’s an afterlife of some sort and if there is it will have a baseball diamond.

Yes was a joke.

He added some cut. He’s staying tall and ditched his curve.

The ballpark pigs’ buttholes are aged to perfection over the winter months.

I definitely think Deputy McNobody is to blame for everything that happened today.

I think he should be an opener every six days/emergency reliever otherwise. Three or so innings. It’ll help the rest of the staff as well after short workloads in 2020. Evaluate after the season.

I feel it in your balls too. Don’t look down.

His chance at redemption should be long, long gone.

Thanks for this. I’m sure it isn’t realistic to adjust, but it just seems inherently problematic, although it did seem to work fine for a long time.

Is getting up off his knees? I don’t get it.

This is another thing about the U.S. you can respect your history without being stuck in it. Take the lessons from the past and adjust them to the present. That’s supposed to be how it works. Seems too many are stuck in the past and refuse to accept the future. And then when they go obsolete it’s everyone else’s fault. Shit is nuts to me.

Canadian. I’ve lived in Chicago for a few years, Arizona briefly, but back in Toronto. Was educated in Canada. We learn American history (and Greek and Italian and British and Egyptian, etc) but not the politics so much. When I was in school American politics was grade 8 so it wasn’t much, The rest was high school. I also usually vote for NDP, the primary third party here. Not always, but usually. I couldn’t vote while living in the u.s. so I didn’t get too involved. I noticed two things. It’s a lot more of a contest than an actual vote, and people don’t really sway much. I think this has a lot to do with the whole two sides thing.
