  1. Wow, thats a kid that has a lot to eat.
  2. Yes, but few grew up rich and pampered to the extent Vlad was. Vlad never had to work, as his forebears did, unless playing baseball is work. His gut is a product of genes ill equipped for a leisurely lifestyle and grandma's cooking. "Vladimir Guerrero Sr. grew up not far from his current palatial digs in a tiny house made of mud brick and originally roofed with palm leaves." Take a kid who's forebears all grew up poor, having to work hard, and with little food, and give that kid a pampered lifestyle with plenty of food, the end result is predictable.
  3. Old money refers to families that have been rich for hundreds of years. Sufficient time for a genetic difference from the peasant class, and less susceptibility for weight gain from a sedentary lifestyle.
  4. Nah, I don't think it applies to old money people.
  5. Not at all. Take any peasant, regardless of race, and give them a rich and pampered lifestyle, or stick them behind a desk all day, and you get a vlad. Proof? Take a walk outside.
  6. Reality is vlad grew up rich and pampered, and has genes meant for backbreaking daily labour. Gonna be quite a challenge for him.
  7. I've noticed Boxy's behaviour has been more mature, since this thread. Don't be fooled, people.
  8. Under normal circumstances I would have moved into the playoff group after the performance this week, but f*** the havok steamroller.
  9. Is Ryan Yarbrough an ace?
  10. Can a mod please let me know in advance when Boxy becomes a mod, so I can say my goodbyes.
  11. lol, you are a damn troll
  12. Were the meetings with the training staff about Giles?
  13. Or, when the time is right, trade prospects for pitching, like 'stros for Verlander/Cole Having salary flexibility opens a lot of possibilities
  14. Damn, sure hope just vacationing.
  15. Useless, far better parameters available these days.
  16. More than a few prospect writers have mentioned him as a player to watch. Here's one: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/i-should-explain-this-wilmer-font-thing/
  17. Numbers are good, has a HR problem. Spotty command, too many in the middle of the zone. Also, ERA is for know nothings.
  18. Suspect player evaluation skills.
  19. He's been a guy pegged as a breakout candidate for a few years now
  20. Joe Ross back from the dead? 16.1 scoreless IP
  21. Mine is fine, on Bell Fibe, normal HD
  22. The burning question is... will Alford be Gose 2.0
  23. The idea of veteran presence is ********, and I'm 100% positive Tellez gets moved if some buyer comes calling with a half reasonable offer. Chances are low Smoak is a Blue Jay in 2020. He might get signed to a minor league deal ffs.
