    Boras probably uses Acuna for advertising
  2. connorp
    It helps if his agent’s last name isn’t Boras

    Truth hurts man. But seriously, I think they should get housing and they get meals. $500 on top of that for an A ball player isn’t bad, considering there was likely a bonus too. The off-season they dont deserve to be paid to train considering there’s a 1% chance they make the bigs.

    IFA guys get signing bonuses. Often times bigger than a 10th rounder. Plus even minor league salary represents a better standard of living than their home country. As for the prep kids picked at the very end, that’s why their parents should tell them to go to school instead…they’re prob good enough to get scholarship, so that’d be smart move

    I’m old. I lost track of time. Yeah he’s protectable. I wouldn’t s*** on my kids dreams until like year 4 as I said
  6. connorp
    Maybe make Boras’ idea after 4 years the player is due the bonus, so the team can decide if it wants to cut bait
  7. connorp
    I mean, like I said, 4 years is a good timeline to chase the dream. You don’t want to give up after year or tow. Maybe more if there’s real progress/chance

    I know this kid that was a couple years older than my son, Danny Watson. My son played up at times and played with him a bit. He got drafted in the 33rd round or something out of HS. Has a good dad, dad pushed him to school. He got drafted by NYY couple years ago or something. Doesn’t look like he’s going to make it. I guarantee you his dad is talking to him about Plan B

    I think the pay raise was a good thing and also housing will be good and should’ve been. But also, you have to factor in signing bonus. Even a 10th round pick say, is actually getting paid $200k for 4 years when all is said and done (and in almost all cases not sniffing the majors). They also have half the years to pick up work. 50k in a non-big city, where minor league teams are, isn’t deplorable. Though with inflation rising, it’s getting there:) At the end of 4 years, it’s time to start looking at your life. If you want to be the wanna be actor not making money, but chasing the dream…no boo hoos from me

    Is “Do you support the Freedom Convoy” one of the questions? It should be
  11. connorp
    Well, you should know that’s not true as Adames is ranked higher than Rendon and I gave you WA+. Objectively speaking, Fantrax is prob right. It’s a good barometer imo on prospects. At 29 they have Kelenic right around Teo and Seager. Riley Greene is down a bit around guys he should be around etc. Any list anyone is going to do will be subject to opinion. But it gives you another perspective besides your own
  12. connorp
    Depends how you view them. If you’re talking about basing your decisions on them, sure.
  13. connorp
    Yeah that’s not a dynasty ranking list
  14. connorp
    You can’t even pull up FG Dynasty rankings with an easy Google search.
  15. connorp
    I’ve found Fantrax sufficient. Look at it and tell me why it sucks as Jim says. Obviously nothing is perfect and lots is subjective
  16. connorp
    I actually don’t find the Fantrax rankings egregious in general. They’re actually high on Volpe #104.
  17. connorp
    I didn’t know FG had them. I’ll have to check it out. Anyways, I don’t think any of the picks this year would land a great mlb player.
  18. connorp
    Whatever you want to call guys like Mize and Bassitt is good with me. Tomato tomoto
  19. connorp
    Well, I dropped a couple examples of that. Just saying I’d keep the pick instead of dealing for mediocre but good SP. Hope you land a franchise cornerstone
  20. connorp
    Fantrax has Leiter #205. A little behind Mize, a little in front of Bassitt. I’d keep the pick for that

    How do you call a celebration penalty in the Super Bowl. Wet blankets

    Basically if one side decides they’re going to dig their heels in no matter what, yes mediation is just a waste of time
  24. connorp
    When two sides are far apart, it can get ugly. Union issues can get very ugly in any business
  25. connorp
    Sometimes mediation doesn’t save the day but that doesn’t mean it’s worthless. We’ll see how much more it could’ve slowed things down I guess
