I'm obviously biased, but even impartially I think it's cool as f*** the MLB is standing behind Hamilton and his struggles.

 

They're not though. MLB wanted to bring down the hammer, it went to an arbitrator and MLB lost. Then MLB got a little dig in after the fact and said that they will look to make changes to the CBA as a result.

 

Not cool as f***!

On the flip side, he's never actually done ^ that in his career, he doesn't have big upside, and he's 36.

 

Probably closer to 50th than 25th

Yeah. I don't particularly like Hamilton as a person (from what I've seen/read anyway) but suspending him long term seems more like bullying at this point than actually trying to help him out. He's also not good enough for me to care that much about him being back to help Silvergun.

Well the arbitrator is clearly the boss here, my mistake!

 

I was following less closely with him banged up anyway.

 

The arbitrator is probably looking for a new job too. Isn't that what happened with the last one that gave the MLB an outcome they didn't like?

lol...yes.

Haha oh yeah, that was for Braun right?

 

They were piiiiissed about that whole thing.

 

Yeah, that was it, Selig blew his top, lol. I wonder if this guy stays employed under the MLB's shiny new commissioner in Manfred, I'd say yes because Selig was criticized for that meltdown. HAH!!

Same arbitrator could potentially have a Kris Bryant inspired MLBPA grievance on his hands some time soon too

Braun looks beastly this spring, can't wait for the season to start!

 

It's going to be funny later this season when Waino breaks down and Harvey+Braun are both killing it old school.

Jose Fernandez is also tied into this bizarre trade orgy.

He had a 1.306 OPS last spring and a 150 wRC+ through May last year. The problem has been that the thumb wears down with repeated use.

Throw Archie Bradley's bad mechanics into all of this he is what I got for the throw-in on the Dinger deal.

Yeah it was J Fern and Carp for Waino and Pujols.

as much as that was a great deal for me, I'm glad that I am old and can't remember the early deals I was offered for Pujols that I turned down cause I thought my team was a contender back in year one. I know there were a lot of offers.
