In hindsight they did - but didn't most think the Pirates dealt a couple of prospects who lost their luster for Archer who was a stud and under control at very team friendly rate?
Rays obviously struck gold, but still.
If you believe he's truly a 130 wRC+ bat than he's worth a lot given he's under control through 2025. If he's more of a 111 wRC+ bat (like Steamers predicts this year), then that price tag is insane.
That's odd because I see players getting added to the 10 day IL everyday now (thru Rotoworld) with little to no information on why (which I'd assume meant they got COVID). It appears that isn't the case.
I'd pretend I was a mute to avoid the cringe-worthy interviews with the media. It's all f***ing ******** non-sense. I have no idea why there's a market for people listening to pre or post game interviews.
I like that Siddel just called it as it is last night. Said Vladdy is much larger right now than he was in Spring Training, can't handle 3rd base and how the Jays will obviously keep Pearson down to secure the extra year of control.
The White Sox have given prospect infielder Jake Burger (Achilles) permission to play in a local league in St. Louis this summer.
Coming to a men's league near you!
Sorry man, but I clarified that I was suggesting it wouldn't surprise me if everyone is telling the truth and that I obviously have no idea if Grichuk is racist. Misconstruing what people said based on predetermined bias and slamming them for it is also a plague on our society.
I've heard the Braves, Chiefs, Indians, etc. aren't considered offensive because it's not a slur. Redskin is defined as a slur in contemporary dictionaries.
Boxy - it's ******** to suggest Stro might be playing the race card without at least acknowledging there's a possibility that what he's saying is legit and based on his experiences with Grichuk.
