Around Baseball 2023

[Jimcanuck]

Holy s***. I’ll just stop looking. I was thinking a 1st and a good prospect or two

 

Send me an offer. If you include a regular MLB SS, that would be dandy.

[connorp]

1st and a good prospect is about the value of Jordan Walker anyway

 

Says the dumbass that turned down Riley Greene ++ for Kelenic

Huh? When was this. Egregious.

[Jonn]

Meanwhile in less controversial news but still strange. Marcus Stroman went on the IR with right hip inflammation. Was set to return this week and now has a fractured rib and the team has no idea how it happened but he’s

expected to miss the rest of the Season.

 

Should be interesting to find out the details about this one.

[Laika]

April, lol.

 

Kelenic will prove me right eventually

[connorp]

When Kelenic was tearing it up. Greene, Painter, and something else good. I forget. For Kelenic only

Weird one for sure. It's like he suffered a severe training injury and didn't tell them.

The funny this is

 

I counter offered and you declined. And in hindsight my counter offer was much better for you. I wanted f***ing Byron Buxton, lmao.

[Jimcanuck]

This belongs in the Hall of Shame.

[Laika]

This belongs in the Hall of Shame.

 

It really doesn't

 

Greene is doing well but he has 11 HR and 33 RBI lmao

 

Also a huge K rate and .410 BABIP

During his rehab, he was feeling discomfort in his last start, he was supposed to come off the IR yesterday and they dropped that bomb. Kills me for a title run in one of my leagues, sucks for Stro and the Cubs, that's a haymaker they just got walloped with.

[Jimcanuck]

Hmmm.... getting some very reasonable offers for Franco all of a sudden. Shows there is a fair bit of skepticism about the whole thing.

[connorp]

It really doesn't

Lazy analysis. 800 PA and his babip is .380+. He’s got a ++ hit tool. He’s always been projected as the power will develop into 25+ homers.

 

Tigers lineup certainly doesn’t help right now

It’s a total gamble. Bombshell could be around the corner.

I really am having a hard time understanding your take on this.

 

With Bauer you assumed guilt instantly despite there being evidence that he was innocent.

 

With Franco you seem to be cheerleading that he did nothing wrong, despite there being some evidence that he's up to no good.

 

Is it really because you own Franco in some fantasy leagues?

Yes, he's that shallow.

That's all cool but he'll be a Tiger for a long time and Kelenic will go 25/25 next year

No it’s because he has legal experience

[Laika]

Jim writes 180 page factums for concrete litigation

 

Therefore he knows a lot about the criminal legal system and sexual crimes in latin america

I never said Bauer was guilty, you ass. If you think otherwise, show the receipts. Spanky tried and failed.

 

With Franco I am taking the same approach I did for Bauer, let the process play out.

 

All I am doing here is making commentary without making a verdict of guilt or innocence.

 

I do find it interesting that the same ones that said Bauer was a victim of extortion and innocent are saying Franco is not being extorted and is guilty.

Nah in this case it relates to control of water in the Ottawa River basin.

[wilko]

I'm about to drop him in some fantasy leagues. I'm not holding onto a pedo.

But was the water acting like a mamacita? How big is its tributary?

connorp would not be interested

[Jimcanuck]

BA has come out with its updated farm rankings.

 

The Boston Red Sox are #5.

 

Grant?

 

edit - Jays are #25.

As a defendant in both criminal and civil cases? I buy that.

I was a defendant in a criminal case when I was 19 yrs old, yes. If you didn't get into shitloads of trouble as a kid, you haven't lived.
