    • Gotcha.  I agree with that angle.  It's a factor.  Not necessarily the ghost runner though.  That seems a bit more subject to luck.
    • If Superman, The Thing from the Fantastic Four, and Anthony Santander got in a fight who would win?  Discuss. 
    • Sports Guy will soon be a top 10 poster and most hated poster on their board.
    • It’s getting pretty close to put up or shut up time for our Latin American program.  This isn’t 2018 anymore.  Perez has been on the job for 5+ years.  First two years, we all understand he was playing catch-up because a lot of these kids make commitments 2 years before they can be formally signed.   But that really shouldn’t have impacted our last three signing classes, populating the Carolina League, FCL and DSL by now.   I haven’t really drilled down, but it feels like we are still getting a below average share of the talent down there, based on the record of those teams and just skimming the individual leaderboards.  Last year, Delmarva was 56-74 and the FCL team was 22-32.   The players on this Delmarva team are either holdovers from last year or guys promoted from the FCL, so it’s not surprising that Delmarva is pretty bad.  Our two DSL teams were 35-19 and 20-35, so 55-54 collectively in a league where 20 MLB teams have two affiliates while the other 10 have just one (and therefore can concentrate their talent in one team).   That gives me some hope that our FCL team will be more competitive this year, though their first two games were uninspiring.  
    • I've created a bit of a narrative about that family in my mind, I've seen it so many times. I won't get into it, but the wife is pretty well put together.
