You don't have to be super high on him to think he's worth protecting considering the other options.

Sounds like Elias is going to leave his replacement in a good position to succeed.

As a one inning guy out of the pen he could theoretically make the team with a solid spring. Not a lot of craft needed to pitch the sixth inning and if he's already on the forty...

I'd pick Pop over Wells in a heartbeat. If he isn't recovered from TJ you either stash him on the DL or you send him back. If he's recovered he shouldn't hurt you out of the pen and could easily become a weapon there.

Or just more stubborn.

I don't think analytics were part of the process. Looks like an ownership driven decision.

I heard it's the ex-wife.

We disagree strongly on occasion. Sometimes I get bored and stop, sometimes he does. He just ghosted out of a discussion with me the other day.

If you have a ML pitching coach and a director of pitching and now you have one guy doing both then you eliminated an employee. Does anyone think Holt is getting two paychecks and two sets of benefits?

Probably got paid by Miller for the exposure.

Wish he'd do another AMA.

I'm sure that between the four of you buying a share isn't out of reach.

I wasn't actually talking about Robocop...

It irrationally irks me that so few remember the original reference.

Y'all keep calling me a bear and I've got a video for you. Show you what bears really look like.

Yes, it would have been unsettling if they hadn't picked it up.

I'm curious how the Mets' offseason goes.

The virus has done many things but stopping the passage of time isn't one of them.

Ohh, that one is better.

Markakis hit for a 799 OPS straight out of AA at 22 years old.

Permission.

It can be important and still properly valued. We don't see Mountcastle at short now do we?

Or it's properly valued in the market and folks are thinking it's undervalued because they haven't properly taken into account the changes in the game.

Is it? Between the strike outs and the fly balls I'm not sure how much value exists in infield defense in 2021.
