He Gone! Go grab some bench.

People don't stage large protests in small towns because they wouldn't have any impact. It's also not always easy to get there. There is typically no public transportation into small towns.

That's what they tell us.

The draft was originally designed to keep down costs of new players and save owners money. I think the slot system is just a more complex way of doing that.

It was cheap, but Greene is so dumb I am not sure she even gets why they would splice it together that way. She is not some slick politician pretending to be dumb to appease the anti-intellectual base. She really is as dumb as she sounds.

I would think so, but Greene is such a low IQ individual that it's possible she said it all that stuff together.

I think he is very disorganized and nothing is really planned carefully. He is also amoral and doesn't distinguish between truth and reality, so his disorganization and lack of planning means nothing to him. He can do or say whatever he wants and nothing ever really happens to him. Why would an amororal person care about any consequences when he's gotten away with everything his entire life?

I am at 35. I joke about this stuff a lot, but I appreciate the effort you guys put in on this topic.

I agree.

Torkelson is pretty comparable to Vaughn in his second year. Hopefully, Torkelson (unlike Vaughn) does not stall in year three.

Sorry to hear that. People have beaten advanced cancer. Fight hard. I would guess that doing stuff that you want to do helps in its own little way.

I would guess that only a small percentage of baseball fans have even heard of the slot system, never mind know how it works.

I agree. The back end of the contract would still likely be bad, but they probably can't get anything better in the near future.

Does this mean we have to go through the "who holds the real home run record" argument?

A more realistic scenario would be he matched his lifetime numbers of .260/.302/.464 with strong defense. Would we want to keep him? Would he opt out?

Anything that is done deliberately physically hurt or humiliate somebody is just bullying and has no purpose other than to make the bullies feel good about themselves. Other types of hazing might be acceptable, but I don't think it's ever necessary for bonding.

Today is the day that Spencer Torkelson became a ball player.

Just when I started getting excited about Manning and Skubal...

The only point of hazing at any level is to make bullies feel good about themselves. The stuff about bonding is BS.

Dude...

I am personally not interested in what Brandon Dixon is doing, but I agree it's not a problem.

I'll bever forget Busty Beam.

Loaning valuable artifacts to Donald Trump and expecting to get them back isn't very smart.

Is it good to get Lionized in Detroit?

The 2008 contract was one of the best ever in terms of creating excitement and memories for Tigers fans. The one that goes from 2016-2023 is the problem and he's been bad longer than just 2021-2023. This is year 7 of replacement level.
