But man he started off great--lots of MLBTV guys agreeing he was the best player on the field for them...all kinds of ultra positive accolades. I'd like to think he just lost all confidence at the first sign of struggle, but then the truth hit me...the decline corresponded perfectly with the day I added him in a competitive fantasy league. He's got an Ian Kinsler skill set but a long way to go.
February 14, 20197 yr Hark! Which of yonder hallowed Prophets of Machado shall prove righteous? Father Crane, hath thy faith betrayed thee? In the coming fortnight, shall the skies be pierced by the cries of the faithful? Shall they chant “all hail BROTHER GOMEZ! Like a beacon, thy faith ne’er wavered”?

Spraying hits all over the field, stealing clutch bases, making unbelievable diving basket catches. Hitting dongers even though he’s small and it’s a pitchers park. He looked so, so ready for the show. Prospects will break your heart, man. Hope he puts it together. Didn't he get extended too?

February 14, 20197 yr 41 minutes ago, Orlando said: On Padres reddit, they seemed to view Paul Crane as their version of Hector Gomez. He constantly tweeted stuff out that was pro Padres. They constantly shared it. Obviously Hector is way more credible but they viewed him similar. They might meltdown after this. Paul Crane is a real person? I've assumed this whole time it was a fake account with a generic headshot.

February 14, 20197 yr 1 hour ago, fathom said: Paul Crane is someone that was pounding the Machado/Padres situation a few weeks ago. Now, he's saying this (and yes I know MLB insider is fake, but it seems he has his own source): Since when were the Yankees even a possibility for Harper? Come on.

February 14, 20197 yr At what point does Machado start to lose leverage. If this really drags into March, we could see teams start to sign Moose, Kuechel, etc...
February 14, 20197 yr 8 minutes ago, fathom said: In typical years, when these kinds of things start, it usually means someone is about to blink. This off-season is so messed up, this is probably legit.
February 14, 20197 yr 4 minutes ago, fathom said: So we have to pray that Tulo and Andujar don't get hurt? The Yankees won't offer a huge contract just because Andujar and a washed up Tulowitzki get injured. By the way, if the Yankees wanted they could always move Andujar to 1B. So the only reason they are not interested would be Luke fucking Voit. I don't buy that for a second. The Yankees just want more payroll flexibility going forward.

Sox Safety net. This really only affects the Phillies since they want to compete. Sox and Padres can wait it out for a "bargain". As stated above if Tulo or Andjular get hurt though...

Literally nothing legitimate out there in the news would tell you this has any sign of wrapping up anytime soon. With all due respect, How is a superstar free agent not signing until 15 days before opening day not something to be suprised about? I understad the lack of real rumors but still.

February 14, 20197 yr It seems now these guys are waiting for guys to either get hurt or suck at their preferred destinations.
