I went to the Yankees game today, nice stadium, kinda plain. I totally forgot it was Players Day. Jacoby Ellsbury with "Chief", lol. That's a bit off colour, if the other players nicknamed him that.

Wow, 13 HR now! He's closing in on being a league average hitter!

Philbert 10:28 Of everyone with at least 50 PA at A+ in their age-18 season between 2006 and 2016, the best wRC+ is 117. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is currently at 174 in 173 plate appearances. Jeff Sullivan 10:28 A teenager with power, and more walks than strikeouts. He's an absurdity

Ok I'm going to PM NJH my choice, BTS and Boxy you do the same. 2/3 takes it. That said, whoever misses out should definitely go to the top of the list for next replacement.

Let's interview them, I want to hear their visions. Whoever has the better 3 year roadmap gets the job.

Apparently Conforto just swung his own shoulder right out of its socket. That ain't good.

Understandable. He's dreamy and his arms are totally hairless. I offered Sale for him and got shot down.

GD, you have until midnight to remove your co-manager or you will forfeit a first round pick.

This. Jesus I'm so sick of democracy.

1) I love that J4L liked this post. 2) I think we should bar Orgfiller from trading Correa to GD in the event that he is elected.

Sounds like a poor man's Keon Broxton.

Byron Buxton has a 76 wRC+

Jesus, KK demolished that ball

I'm gonna abstain; they're all good candidates and I have no preference.

For me it's just a case of I don't think Donaldson will re-sign with us before testing free agency, and I also don't think it's a good idea to give huge extensions to 32 year olds. If you know he's going to leave in a year, it really behooves a franchise in this state to get long-term assets for him. Shatkins can talk all they want about wanting to be competitive next year, but I think this is going to be the focal point of our off-season; everything hinges on the JD situation.

JD will be traded at the Winter Meetings and Vlad won't debut til Sept in a write-off year.

I don't see Josh Donaldson and Vlad ever wearing a Jays uni at the same time during an MLB game.

WTF is 'The Athletic'?

You love Puig? You must not have owned him for very long.

I would love to ban all co-managers, they just allow an owner to create a succession plan for his team outside the governance of the league admins. It's fine with GD because he's a good apple, but in general, not a fan of that ever happening again.

And is orgfiller going to make King a co-manager? Because that could be an issue for several owners.

Honestly, just when I thought I couldn't hate NJH any more, this happens: [TABLE=class: Tst-table Table-plain Table Table-px-sm Table-mid Datatable, width: 810] [TR] [TH=class: player Ta-start Alt Last, align: left][/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]1B[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]1B[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]2B[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]2B[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]3B[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]3B[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]SS[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]SS[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]CF[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]CF[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]OF[/TH] [TH=class: Alt Last, align: left]OF[/TH] [/TR] [TR=class: Alt Last] [TH=class: player Ta-start, align: left]Player[/TH] [TH=align: left]P[/TH] [TH=align: left]S[/TH] [TH=align: left]P[/TH] [TH=align: left]S[/TH] [TH=align: left]P[/TH] [TH=align: left]S[/TH] [TH=align: left]P[/TH] [TH=align: left]S[/TH] [TH=align: left]P[/TH] [TH=align: left]S[/TH] [TH=align: left]P[/TH] [TH=align: left]S[/TH] [/TR] [TR=class: First Last] [TD=class: Alt player Ta-start]J.

Next question: are you willing to remove Barry Davis from your avatar?
