February 5, 20197 yr Why is this in the Manny thread? Didn’t know it was a catch-all for “hot takes”.

Anyone who has confidence in Collins’ future has to be a homer. If he was in a different system, nobody on here would see any upside in this guy I would guess that the track record of 23 year olds with career MiLB OBP's of .380 typically become very productive big league hitters. There is significant upside in Collins' bat.

If I was a lawyer, I would totally try his arguing skills in court: Your honor, this man should be convicted! I’m sure there is a law somewhere that says so. Anyone who has confidence in him being innocent must be his friend. Edited February 5, 20197 yr by SoxBlanco

A bad-bodied awkward defender with a good arm. Edited February 5, 20197 yr by ChiliIrishHammock24

Almost like there is someone famous we all know of who uses this exact speechwriting technique and social media presence. Bah. I am sure it will come to me.

February 5, 20197 yr The only real entertainment so far today is imagining Timbo speaks in the voice of Colossus... And that Keith Law’s evil twin has joined the board to provoke our minor league experts on Collins. Edited February 5, 20197 yr by caulfield12
