It looks neglected. I think they were expecting Yamaguchi and Dolis to be better. I guess Dolis still could be good, it's mostly been control issues for him in his two outings, but Yamaguchi just looks like nothing.

It's like Montoyo was hired to ruin Giles' career. f***s him up in 2019 and then f***s him up even harder in 2020. Double tap by Charles Buntoyo.

Also you can play a professional basketball game anywhere, you really just need a flat spot. The nets are mobile and even the surface is often in pieces. Baseball fields are way different. As fun as a 2020 MLB season in some minor league parks would be, pros wouldn't even like playing on most AAA fields and the park factors might be just insane between venues.

The rub here is that even with Vlad "struggling" the way he currently is he is still an above average hitter and a guy that can realistically hit .300 or hit .280 with 20+ homers. That's what groundball Vladdy can do. So it's not comparable to an actual prospect's struggles, if you think of guys who come up and strikeout 40% of the time or hit .200. It's not like you can demote him. It might be hard to really impress upon him that he needs a fundamental overhaul when there is no glaring failure going on.

How about this: - Cancel the 2020 season as currently designed - Each team sends one hitter and one batting practice pitcher to a bubble stadium - HR derby for the 2020 World Series - Back back back back back back back back back back back back

I had the option of making those 3.1 days their own week or part of a 10.1 day week #1. I decided to make them them their own week, just to give us one extra matchup. Maybe it will be our only matchup this year!

I am so depressed now

amazing

I've added: Thomas Hatch Nick Neidert Taylor Widener to debut waivers

short one on terrible Montoyo https://www.radioscouts.com/charlie-montoyo-stumbles-early-in-2020/

If anyone needs a SS, I'm looking to flip Tim Anderson or Adalberto Mondesi for a pitcher. SP or RP.

KC is rushing him though. Could really f*** up his s***

I support this moderation and will volunteer to be a mod if help is needed.

I've put Enoli Paredes and William Contreras on debut waivers. Andres Gimenez is already on waivers. Here is a summary of how this works. This ESPN page shows all MLB debuts: http://www.espn.com/mlb/debuts. It shows roster debuts which is good; a player does not need to pitch or get an AB to show up on the list, they just need to have been on the active roster. Our rule states that players can be added freely "as soon as 8 PM Eastern Time on the day following their first day the real life 26-man MLB roster." If you want to add a player who was recently called up, you can check the ESPN page to make sure their first day on the roster meets the requirements. The vast majority of players will not go through waivers as the majority will not be worth claiming in our league. I will try to check the ESPN debut site daily and if I see any actual prospects I will slap them on a 2 day waiver period so the league has a fair shot at them. Who I slap on waivers will be completely arbitrary and I might miss some guys who are good if I don't know about them. I'll ask other commissioners to check the ESPN site too as I won't be able to every day. If a player is promoted and anybody in our league wants them to hit waivers, just post about it and we will add them. If anyone worth claiming is promoted just bring them to our attention. To put someone on waivers you go to Commissioner > All Options > Player Status Override

Advanced, modern coaching and training probably accounts for 90% of it. Decent chance they’ve added some illegal foreign substances into the mix in previous years though.

Happy faces and cool faces mean the same thing.

Gotta say, Tampa's lineup looks worse than Toronto's.

Look at our diverse team. Koreans, Dominicans, a bunch of little white dweebs, and Randal Grichuk the resident white nationalist. #Proud

The 2014 draft was bad. The first round had like, 5 clear hits. 1 Brady Aiken* 2 Tyler Kolek 3 Carlos Rodón 4 Kyle Schwarber 5 Nick Gordon 6 Alex Jackson 7 Aaron Nola 8 Kyle Freeland 9 Jeff Hoffman 10 Michael Conforto 11 Max Pentecost 12 Kodi Medeiros 13 Trea Turner 14 Tyler Beede 15 Sean Newcomb 16 Touki Toussaint 17 Brandon Finnegan 18 Erick Fedde 19 Nick Howard 20 Casey Gillaspie 21 Bradley Zimmer 22 Grant Holmes 23 Derek Hill 24 Cole Tucker 25 Matt Chapman 26 Michael Chavis 27 Luke Weaver

And give up on ROwdy!>?

Mostly because A. Rod has turned into a cliched broadcasting pumpkin and his lack of talent is shining through under his J-Lo brand cover up. He's no Tony Romo.

No, this wouldn't be the case. I think the Canada Lands Company is the registered owner of the "Stadium Lands". See the map: https://en.clc.ca/sites/default/files/TorontoStadiumLands_Overlay.jpg Note that CLC also owns other lands around this parcel. Rogers would own a long-term lease with CLC. Rogers can't sell the land because they don't own it. In theory they could sell the lease... There might be a restrictive covenant registered on title that says the land is only ever to be used as a sports and entertainment stadium. This would have been registered when it was transferred from the prior owner to the CLC.

Mooooooooooooooooooooooods!

Andres Gimenez is not a legal add - we changed the prospect debut rules with the move to Fantrax and all the other league changes: I've dropped him to waivers now though so he is claimable.

The playoffs will be easy to make
