  1. Urge to add "cavalry" to the list of *** words rising! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. My wife is a pharmacist. This is advice for anyone. Always get a second opinion! At the very least ask the pharmacist about the drug in case the physician didn't tell you everything. They know less about the drugs then you think. If you are under contract with an mlb team and under the MLBPA agreement this advice holds times 10. You need to know damn sure what it's your drugs. OTC and RX. I'm not saying MLB shouldn't be lenient on an accident like this, people make silly mistakes all the time. And contamination happens, even with FDA approved stuff. But as a player you have to know its your responsibility not your doctors or teams or trainers.
  3. I think you just don't try to stop it. If they use PEDS to make the majors, shame on them. If they keep using to stay in MLB, they will most likely get caught before signing a big contract. Not many guys will play well enough without the PEDS to stay in the show.
  4. This is just great for a player like Schoop. Its like getting a 2nd signing bonus he can put into savings in case he gets hurt. 10% of future earnings is a pretty good deal when the changes he never makes any more money are pretty high (relative to an office worker for example).
  5. 12-8 over every 20 game span is on pace to win the division! I'll take it. Consistency is overrated
  6. The video scares the hell out of me with that long behind the back arm action. Need to tighten that up pronto.
  7. This. Lets go find some value for the OF. Nick Markakis' agent has to be happy the bar has been set this high.
  8. In my mind Markakis is a high end comp for Yaz. Not a most likely. But I'm more talking about type of player instead of comparing likely performance. To me, Yaz has a similar skill set to Markakis. Similar strengths and weaknesses. Except for arm strength
  9. I'm thinking Markakis more then Sizemore mostly because of defense. Sizemore was fast and a pretty good CF. Nick has the big arm, but otherwise seems pretty similar. Hit baseball IQ and ability to spray the ball around means he may be able to adjust quickly and defy shifts. A seriously valuable tool all the sudden. A consistent producer is a good thing with all these boom and bust power hitters (looking at you Crush).
  10. If they play .500 ball during this road trip, that's really a great result. In fact, if they can play .500 ball against the AL West from here to the end I'll be quite happy. Then beat up the division teams and we are gold.

  13. I also like the pick. The guy might not meet the raw tools criteria scouts seem so hung up on but on the other hand, he has succeeded with flying colors at the highest levels available to him. In my opinion he has earned the chance to ply his trade at the next level. Love the plate discipline. Love the track record. Honostly it looks like he does have some decent power. Put a bird on his hat.
