You kinda can is the sad part.

Gunnar Henderson was overmatched at the instructional camp last year. How did that work out for him? If AR can't handle a bit of adversity in his first full year in the minors we should just pack in this rebuild now.

Yes, I know they paraded him around to various affiliates like a show dog the year he signed. He also was "disappointing" in his pro debut. What is the gain in sending him down to A ball? What's the advantage to the player? Sending him down to A ball would just be jerking the kid around.

I don't think they will be willing to put up the AAV needed if they get in that late.

Why? A week means nothing. All it does is make his life less comfortable as he deals with the hassle of moving and different team mates and coaches. He has three years of college ball and a half a season of instructional camp that they can base things off of. I honestly can't wrap my head around why you think he should go play in A ball. He wasn't some toolsy but unrefined project they picked. What could possibly happen in a week or two at A ball that would mean anything?] If he goes 0-for, it means nothing. If he hits .500, it means nothing. When he inevitability does something between those two poles, it means nothing.

Because if you can convince the fans that winnings isn't a priority then you can keep payroll low for a longer period of time. The O's took a college player 1-1, a player that is being lauded as a generational talent, and have managed to convince the fanbase the best course of action is to leave him languishing in the minors. It's kind of beautiful in a way.

Do you think Adley could put up such impressive numbers that Elias would deviate from whatever his plan is? I don't. Adley just needs to not crash and burn and stay healthy. This situation is almost entirely out of his hands, and it's a shame.

It was an interesting idea but I can't see anyone moving back into the space after these results.

Fantex sold shares of those contracts to other investors right? So they might be in the clear with others holding the bag.

I was talking about how the O's wouldn't do opt outs but would do player options, which are essentially opt outs. Yes, it seems like a very nice deal for Bauer.

My guess is that the 1/17 is there to mitigate the salary cap hit. Also a nice insurance policy if he doesn't perform.

Hit share under the video (it's the arrow pointing to the right) then copy the link and paste it. I am invincible in these sunglasses. I am the Fonz, I am the Jack of Hearts. This is the new radio friendly version so no bad words.

Don't think of it as being miserly. Just pretend that Buck is back and doesn't want to give other teams game film of his team. I'm also very ready for baseball to be back. Watching all the locals act like they are actual Buc fans instead of Bandwagoners is exhausting.

Good for Schoop. Dexter Fowler to the Angels. https://www.mlb.com/news/cardinals-trade-dexter-fowler-to-angels Too soon?

Check out the episode I picked out. It's based on a Harlan Ellison work. Edit- Decent song for the Ramones.

Outer Limits is underrated. At it's best it was as good or better than Twilight Zone. Also Get Smart was genius.

I think he's going to stop using grip enhancers, his performance will dip, and he will stay in LA all three years. He may get suspended at some point during that period, say a 20% chance.

If the Dodgers are obligated for three years I think it qualifies as a multi-year deal.

A friend gets to shoot him in the junk with a paintball gun if he signed a multi-year deal.

Interesting that a smart team like the Dodgers would take a chance on a wildcard like Bauer. I'll post the link of him getting shot in the junk if he's man enough to follow through on his promise.

Yes

No. She was too high on the crazy/hot index.

I almost ranked them the exact opposite.
