I like Fernando Salas.

Uh..

????

Barnes?

Rosenthal tweets out that CCC could be taking offers from Japan teams soon.

Wow!

After reviewing my selections, This is true.

Big if true.

Is anyone else hearing Barry is looking to make a transition into the adult film industry?

This is devastating.

Wow!

I'll disagree that AA "cared less" about Castro and that he was just a "filler type who was always going to be traded". There's no questioning that his stuff his legit and his numbers in short season ball backed it up. You're selling him short a bit. http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/anthopoulos-castro-unbelievable-position/

lol

If he didn't take it in stride it would have been a lot worse than what it was. When he dropped a foul ball on the fly during a game, Sportsnet made a segment with him and Kevin Pillar the next day with Kevin showing him how to catch a fly ball. Then later in the season he wore this glove at a game: And him wearing the "We like our team, Barry" shirt as well. He was a good sport but getting bullied by ~25 arrogant athletes for 8 months a year traveling on the road with them doesn't seem like a very fun gig.

100%. A few things come to mind, like during a postseason celebration and Barry was trying to do his sportsnet interviews and there you have Melvin Upton and Justin Smoak pouring beer on his head telling him to get the f*** out of here.

GBill is heartbroken.

"Broadcaster, musician, actor...You name it, I'll do it" Looks like he's pursuing an acting and music career. Barry goes Hollywood!

Wow!

How? He really shouldn't have made the team out of spring training in 2015 but it was corrected within ~3 weeks when he was sent to AA (or AAA, I forget which came first). Now he's spent 2 full years playing at an appropriate level and has stalled out.

Frenchsoup starting the bidding off strong.

Miguel Castro actually came in 8th on Longenhagens 2017 Rockies prospect list 8. Miguel Castro, RHP Signed: July 2nd Period, 2011 from Dominican Republic Age 22 Height 6’5 Weight 190 Bat/Throw R/R Tool Grades (Present/Future) Fastball 70/80 Slider 50/60 Changeup 40/45 Command 30/45 Relevant/Interesting Metrics Changeup usage dropped from 17% in 2015 to 5% in 2016. Scouting Report While he’s had struggles in parts of two big-league seasons, Castro remains a physically projectable 21-year-old with an upper-90s fastball and wipeout slider. He began 2016 with eight strong innings before he was shelved with shoulder inflammation in late April. He required a second DL stint in August. When healthy, Castro sits 96-99 and touches 100 with a plus-flashing slider in the 82-85 mph range. His fastball plays up against right-handed hitters because of Castro’s arm slot and the extension in his delivery. Castro doesn’t routinely throw a changeup, nor does he consistently command his fastball/slider combination but he’s a lanky 6-foot-5 and just 21 years old, so control issues shouldn’t be all that shocking. He could develop average command in time. Considering the cocktail of command issues, injury issues and lack of a third pitch, it might be too ambitious to attempt to rebuild Castro as a starter. There’s late-inning stuff here if he can get healthy. Castro was acquired from Toronto as part of the Troy Tulowitzki trade. http://wpmedia.news.nationalpost.com/2015/02/castro3.jpg?w=620&h=465 http://baseballhotcorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/CAiklu1VIAA5CKP.jpg I wouldn't describe him as chubby

How much better, if at all, is he than guys like Lind/Carter/Napoli? Those guys will probably sign quickly, after Moss is now signed.
