    It was an inside joke for Mr. Erlichman who frequents this message board. Have a cup of tea and relax. It's Sunday.

    Love to see the team getting guys like Dull and Panik on minor league deals.

    Pretty big implications for Ohtani in fantasy: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/01/new-rules-allows-angels-to-keep-ohtani-on-roster-as-hitter-while-on-rehab-assignment.html

    LOL that call at 1:55 it never made sense to me that women, who have smaller hands than men, play the game with the way bigger ball. HOW DUMB IS THAT!?

    The package for sure. Blackmon is old! Cruz might be like a shortstop Aaron Judge. Howard is good too

    Seeing the Blue Jays wear red jerseys is one of the most horrendous things in sport. f***ing camo is easier on the eyes. I really doubt they would make the hashtag #NewBlue if it was a black jersey. I think the black stuff was just for some of the promo materials, to make the lighter blue pop (kind of faint on a white background). I could be wrong.

    Not a horrendous list, actually! Good job Scotty

    The vote about scrapping the death compensation system is stuck at 10-6, with 10 being in favour of getting rid of it. If one of the four stragglers votes for it whenever they log back into the league then the vote is passed.

    I wanted him too! Argh

    Playing the infield is pretty physically demanding. It's why some teams like the Nationals purposely build depth in front of even star prospects with AAA+MLB experience like Carter Kieboom. Kind of like how everyone says you need 10+ SP, most teams need 5 or 6 players capable of handling 3B-SS-2B.

    The Jays signed Ruben Tejada to a minor league deal. Just turned 30. Average MLB SS defensively. Career 81 wRC+ and 4.5 fWAR in 663 games but has not really been given a chance to have a relevant MLB sample since 2015. Had a 130 wRC+ in AAA last year. This is a strict upgrade on Richard Urena. Our new Eric Sogard.

    This is overly cynical. I know people who are extremely successful in real life on the back of almost nothing more than having a great personality. She could just be a rock solid person, but she also has some decent qualifications. She has a degree which makes her more educated than a lot of MLB coaches. She also has playing experience and was an elite athlete, which is more than some of the new nerd coaches can say. She arguably has better credentials to be an MLB team coach than, say, that Jonathan Erlichman guy the Rays hired... at least she will be able to throw BP and swing a fungo without embarrassing herself.

    It’s f***ing insane that these people don’t realize that almost nobody will tolerate an ad in order to watch one sports highlight. I used to use mlb.com daily to watch highlights and game recaps, now I literally never do.

    It might seem crowded now but a handful of guys will be on the DL at any given time and that really clears out the logjam. Even if there are no injuries you really don't run out of room until you look at AAA and think, wow, there are like 9 guys who should be in the AAA rotation what ever will we do with all of them?! The answer is that 20% or more of your pitching depth is probably projected to be on the DL at any given moment. Just go through the depth chart and plot where some of them were in 2019. Shoemaker - barely pitched Borucki - barely pitched Anderson - hit the DL twice I think Ryu - threw over 126 innings for the first time since 2014! Thornton - DL with elbow inflammation Merryweather - DNP Murphy - got hurt those are just the ones that jump to mind for me. I'm sure many of the other named missed time.

    Maybe your league doesn't have a UTIL slot so it defaults to whatever position they played at the most? I dunno
  16. Laika
    Man, perfect fit. He'd also be a great fit for a veteran team like Boston as much as the thought makes me gag.
  17. Laika
    He is a UTIL only in all of our leagues but Fantrax lets you customize position eligibility. I think their cutoff to qualify is higher than Yahoo, 20 games. If someone didn't have 20 games at any position they get whatever position they played the most games at. Sometimes prospect positions are wonky and you get guys in the MLB with SS, CF, or C eligibility even though they never play there in MLB and might have been moved off the position in the minors.

    Did not expect him to have a perm and a mustache
  19. Laika
    Yeah that’s a solid deal for Donaldson. It’s like the back half of a mega contract that a star might get at 28/29.

    Clicked the story hoping for something juicy. Was very disappointed. "This man had the audacity to say that I compete a certain way and people don’t like it. Very comical in hindsight. Lol" That amounts to "running his mouth"? Boring.
  21. Laika
    Let the people have this one, Dick.
  22. Laika
    This is similar to an ongoing annoyance with instant replay. It needs to be a human decision made in the moment - it should have nothing to do with the dugout phone or a team's video review booth.
  23. Laika
    nah. franmil seems like he would be close to replacement level.
  24. Laika
    Luhnow is a coward. "I am deeply upset that I ignored the problem on purpose"
  25. Laika
    The pitchers are already using stuff, it's just not regulated.
