I think its great news puts us an excellent position to qualify him and get a first round pick back. I don't see Shatkins offering a long term extension. And rightfully so. But plenty of teams are desperate for offence and its a weak free agent class.
No reason to think the payroll goes up. Infact excellent chance it goes down with Bautista and Edwin moving on. Dickey coming off the books. They will look for cheaper replacements. Definitely don't expect them to be a major player in the free agent market either.
He needed a good 2 weeks off. I fully expect Hutchison to get throated because they completely mismanaged his callup to begin with. But he deserves an opurtunity.
I really don't understand why Kimbrel made the All-Star team. Especially with 4 Red Sox starting. Taking relievers over starters is stupid. Brad Brach is a bit of head scratcher we well.
Oh god that was laced with trolling. But ok that's fine. The Orioles are fantastic I love them. I think I said the Orioles would win the division in Around Baseball after like 8 games. I was trolling there as well.
I remember that night I was trying to rile some people up because I know they were so mad about the Orioles winning.
I will always troll a little bit. That will never change.
