    Some Intriguing prospects up for Rule 5 grabs (in my opinion):

    Hard to argue this point. Maybe a cheap veteran and a rule 5 C and just play it by ear. Manea looks pretty good from the OP post i think.

    Roch mentioned University of Arizona’s Daniel Susac and Georgia Tech's Kevin Parada this morning. Both switch hitters with big potential upside. Can't really see either of them to only to back up Adley...

    But then again... best player available. :noidea:

    What are you listening to right now?

    Wonderful suggestion on youboob! This is a splendid performance and VERY easy on the eyes! :eek:

    The Devils Daughters, Mysti Moon & Annie Marie Lewis (niece of the legendary Jerry Lee Lewis!), along with Danny B. Harvey (guitar), Pierre Pelegrin (bass) & Paul Vezelis (drums) live on the TV show ”UP LATE AUSTIN”

    Looked on the description and thru the comments, could NOT find a date. Only hint is this is a (current) show (at least 2016 to current), Up Late Austin, so this must be fairly new.

     

     

    If you've got it, flaunt it! I wouldn't have clicked otherwise...

    Sure. But saying everyone will just fall in line because Adley says so is a different story.  People react to differently to various styles and philosophy. Player A may be a match made in heaven for Mr. Fuller's teachings. Player B may not.  

    If you're thinking of a high priced vet not respecting a never was and not buying into "all this newfangled :bs: ", the only "high priced vet" we have left is Trey. And he'll get along with anyone. We'll get a veteran cheap temp fix SS and C and it doesn't matter if they get along.

    ALL the rest are young guys, moldable guys, who probably already embrace the analytics. I don't think it will be a problem.

     

    If you read Roch's column today (Wednesday) it sounds like they are both extremely into the analytics, and kind of from two different directions. They'll probably each gravitate toward their particular specialties and (I think...) blend well together.

    ALL PURE SPECULATION!!!

    Anyone here into crypto?

    Just wanted to say... when I have extra money, I wouldn't touch crypto. I like Morgan silver dollars. 3/4 ounce of pure Comstock Lode silver in each one. Even the worst, most beat up one, even if you can't read the date! You'll get $25 for it. Build up a hoard of those and you have $$$ for a rainy day, no matter what any market is doing.

     

     

    I'd buy gold but I can't afford it... so silver.

    Philippians 4

    7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

     

    :pray:

    I. Got. A. Job!

     

    Finally. Knew I would eventually. Peace of God. And freakin' God! :ohlord: "In his own time." JUST in time for me. My bills paid this month and $148 left in the bank! ?

    Not as good a job as the one that made me miss Mike's Memorial (that I didn't get.) Not Nearly as good as the place I've been trying to get re-hired at for 3+ years.

    But it's a job! Pay is ... dismal. But it's ∞ times what I'm making now. The shop is nice, family-owned small shop, 2nd shift I think I'll be the 5th or 6th employee. Maybe 15 employees on both shifts. I'll be bouncing around from machine to machine, just what I love.

     

    2nd job...

    It figures

    It does figure.  The outfield wall was designed to make it easier for outfielders to rob home runs.  It's a feature.

    One of the most exciting plays in baseball. And you say the Orioles don't care about their fans. ?

    MLB CBA/Labor Dispute Thread

    I can't wait for the next 10-15 years, hopefully the brainiacs who are constantly tinkering with numbers can come up with a better stat than WAR, rendering it useless.

    It's not that I don't like WAR, I think it's a pretty good stat and it does a decent (not perfect) enough job of understanding value.  

    I'd just like to see chaos, personally.

    Anyway, I still think this gets resolved before spring training.  At the end of the day, no one wants a work stoppage and everyone involved knows that the damage to the game will be irreparable.  

    Let's all hope...

    I think MLB will offer 29.5 age or 6 years of MLB service.  That benefits the late bloomers while allowing the superstars to continue to reach FA in there mid 20's.

    That along with a WAR basic arbitration years system will a get good player played more early.

    I also think they will raise the 1-3 year base salary to 800K for year 0, 900k for year i and 1M for year 2.

    JMO

    That's a big payroll raise, especially for a team like ours.

     

    Which may be what the owners, Manfred especially and all the nattering nabobs, might be aiming for.
