It is hard to predict the needs of fringe teams in a year since GMs can be pressured into appeasing fans and owners. I can see the Giants making a splash just to make one, and the Braves going for him if they fall flat on their faces in the postseason again. Not sure why the Dbacks are a no, Calhoun can move to DH when the NL brings that on board in 2021 (likely happening from what ive read). We will likely lose out to the Padres again in some shape or form. We should be fighting till the end though, he would look so good in this lineup right now!

I dont see anything wrong with the SS list, Anderson isnt far out of 10 but that position is stacked. Correa is #9 ffs

Watch Jeter Downs turn into a legendary player for the Red Sox. That would be very baseball.

Welcome, I think #13 is fair because there are still question marks. Nobody should expect Robert to be putting up his minor league numbers in his rookie season. Mazara could very well be replacement level. Nobody has any idea what Madrigal will do. 1/3rd of our lineup is a mystery right now. The article is behind a paywall so I can't see who is listed ahead of us

Judging by his monthly splits I feel that hes going to have a monster year. Definitely can see the early struggle adjusting to MLB pitching, and then the injury in middle of the season. That September was remarkable.

I have not heard of Veras but I like that profile. One ill keep an eye on going forward

The Tigers are going to have a ridiculously good rotation in a few years if these guys pan out.

Calling Madrigal Magical when he hasnt even played a single game is the most cringe thing ive ever seen or heard.

he wanted to play for a WS contender from what i remember. We didnt have a chance at him

dont tell me to stfu, grow up

I wonder when Astros players will start talking. They no doubt have been told to keep quiet, but eventually silence will do them more harm. Current players are starting to chime in, this is turning very very ugly.

Bauer is though.

Its not coming from just 'internet dorks', players are saying the same thing.

Im also interested to see how Bregman, Altuve, and Springer get treated in away games. Looking forward to their trip to Yankee stadium

This made me laugh harder than it should have.

It would show that MLB lied about the severity of the cheating to protect itself and the Astros. This is a big deal and also tells us the Astros were doing it in 2018 and 2019, contrary to the report.

I wish you could do this through mlb.tv, it would have to be heavily moderated though.

Hinch either proved to be a liar, or he had no control over the clubhouse. Either way thats not someone I want in my manager.

Taubman, Hinch, and Luhnow all represent MLB and the Houston Astros. Their actions, although different, smeared the name of the sport and organization. Their offenses are different but both have a long lasting effect that needed to be dealt with. I do agree with you that the penalties of domestic abusers are laughable compared the these suspensions though.

its more than that and you know it

Moving away from Keuchel for a bit, is there a shadier person in baseball than Luhnow? His tenure in Houston: -accused of stealing Cardinals data on his way out to Houston -allowed cheating scandal that would end up being his legacy -traded for domestic abuser while he was still under investigation -handled the sexist actions of his staff by attempting to sweep it under the rug -gets suspended and fired for cheating before throwing players and employees under the bus Seriously what a piece of shit, what else am I missing?

Not just to think, but to expect it.

Pitching mentor does not mean life coach.

You keep pinning 'true leader' on Keuchel but what makes you think thats the kind of guy he is? Is it because hes a professional athlete?
