Squirmin' for Yermin

We didn't save money last year on Vaughn and still got Dalquist and Thompson,

It's still really good.. No baseball or no players that will be FA? Maybe one player per team?? MAYBE... I doubt any sit out.. They all know there likelyhood to get seriously affected is astronomically low and they know they get $0 if they don't play... It's their only negotiating tool though, so I don't blame them for trying.. But the same amount of Yankees fans will go to the games if Cole is there or not. The same amount of Rays fans will go if Snell is there or not.. The same amount of fans will go if Bryant is there or not. and so on.

He wouldn't become a top 100 prospect though, like I assume Cespedes would right? I know that list is arbitrary, but sstill.

yes. Are they even in the same stratosphere? Honest question.

oooo, well that would make sense. Can you get me excited a little bit?! What kid of FV or where would he rank in regards to the international pool?

For sure. PLUS they're already bleeding casual fans as it is with the way the game is played (sloooooooow)..

I honestly am not too excited about him just on Longehagen (I think) report of him being a 35 FV and is he even listed as a top 30 international prospect?...

Who is following all of them?! Please tell me Cespedes. Nevermind lol

Or any team. He will never make an MLB start, which is fine. Who expected him to at this point?

Apart from his rookie year.... has he done anything noteworthy apart from being a second round HS pick?

Well if you think Yermin has one of the best bats in the system I think ranking him around Collins is certainly justified.. Let us not forget.... Collins, cannot (will not) catch either.

What was the Sox offer? I was a little lad then

Give me a HS or SP and I'll be happy.. A college position player (OF) would be semi-confusing unless someone falls.

With his defense, baserunning and smarts even if he hit .250 he will likely be a minimum 2 WAR player. Obviously that's a backup/replacement guy.. BUT who the fuck thinks he will bat .250? Let alone under .280.. He seems like a prototypical 3 WAR easy player..

uhhh a massive difference.. 40 million difference actually (without including inflation)..

I bet the majority of people still like him.. Just the minority are so loud about it, it overshadows everyone else lol.

more money certainly makes me more happy.

Do we even know what we offered him? I forgot..

Of course opportunity will be lost.. less teams=less players

SET THE SCENE: I am a closer/late inning relief pitcher. "Boom" - By POD plays over the intercom. I come sprinting full speed towards the mound like a wild man. Fans go insane, I become a white sox classic.

I am surprised that many people think the season will get cancelled.

I do think so, but I think they do thge Arizona/Florida thang. July 1 is my guess! 81 game season

I honestly prefer Robert to Franco straight up by a decent amount. Franco obviously is great but I am still baffled that he is a FULL GRADE above everyone else.. Robert has done it against better competition. Give me Robert.

Does anyone know of a DVD collection or something similar of the 2005 playoff run? I'd love to own each game.

This would be outstanding for the Sox.. Apart from the Dodgers is there any team that is significantly better than the Sox?? Cubs, Indians and A's would be okay.. Then it looks like a shit ton of trash.. Man, the Arizona league would be trash compared to Florida.
