Some pro golfers smoke. Whatever. The golf media glorifying it is my pet peeve. It is weird and just wrong.

Is this the same Bob Papa that currently works for the golf channel who used to be the PxP guy on NFL Network and referred to the Andrew Jackson statue in downtown Jacksonville as "Stonewall?"

Since it's Michigan, she gave the death stare that the hardware store owner's wife gave in Home Improvement that I thought was funny 30 years ago.

Nomar Fana too.

They are doing you a favor. A colleague of mine just now with a great quote "The stock market is a device to transfer wealth from the impatient to the patient."

Covid.

Somebody I've never really heard talk politics much was gushing over how smart Kamala is last night and how surprised he was that she seems to be such a strong candidate. For what that's worth

The Kamala isn't black stuff must have been percolating around the right wing blogs because I heard somebody say it last week and quickly changed the topic.

Waiver traded were banned a few years ago. Only players not on the 40 man can be dealt.

Whoops, Montalvo is Rule 5 eligible too... I didn't realize he was 19 on the June 5 before he was drafted out of HS.

I've found Eno's numbers have helped me find some diamonds in the rough in fantasy. They aren't perfect, but it does give a glimpse at to one reason why Kikuchi may have had more value than the general public thinks. The medical stuff that Rosenthal brought up is the Occam's razor though. Part of me wonders if that's why the Tigers wanted to trade him at all. We've been acting like the qualifying offer would have been a no-brainer, but what if he gets shut down next week with a lumbar injury. Do you offer that guy a $21M QO?

All based on stuff metrics, pitch shape, etc. Anybody can recite baseball reference stats.

Kikuchi is ranked higher in Eno's pitching plus rankings as of a couple weeks ago, fwiw. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5641710/2024/07/23/eno-sarris-mlb-starting-pitcher-rankings/

One step ahead of you. Sweeney, Lee, Owens, and Hicks are all eligible for the Rule 5.

Who the hell is Michael Greco and why did I do a status check on George and Cartaya after seeing that tweet on here?

...dupes

Any analysis of drafts, post 2012, that focuses only on pick position and neglects pool impact is incomplete.

The glitch lately on here has been brutal.

The people who mock free talent pickups on Twitter are the worst, and show they know nothing about baseball.

And standard caution using any information from Torkmoil whose engagement farming ability far surpasses his attention to detail.

BA has everything with the $2,500 bonus subtracted. MLB's website rounds everything in the 7 digits to the nearest 10K. I use BA.

Note, I know Joe Sparma on account of my dad drilling the 1968 Tigers Baseball Encyclopedia page into my head several times as a kid. It was this guy I hadn't heard of. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/scherfr01.shtml

It was Howard. There was another guy I hadn't heard of on the 1973 team, but Howard played later. Joe Sparma was also an Ohio State guy.
