I expect him to be in Sarasota a lot.

I'd feel a smidgen better about what Rose did if he had always bet on his team to win. But he didn't.

He was not a bad pick. Hobgood was a bad pick. The kid has made the majors. Anyone that thinks he was a bad pick has unrealistic expectations of what you can expect out of the second round.

But is he working the pitcher?

Until the owners think he's more of a liability than an asset.

You should never see "I'm not a gambler" and I'd...mortgage the house on it." in the same paragraph. I use to think I knew enough about baseball that I could hedge a few bets here and there and make a profit. These days I figure a lot of the serious money has computer analytics behind it.

When Jeter lied to the ump about getting hit by a pitch he was cheating. Should he have been excluded from the Hall of Fame?

I didn't even think about that. I was talking about cheating on your spouse with the GF of a drug dealer.

At least from the time I've been here I've seen a number of posters against each of the deals that turned out poorly.

I'm guessing Manfred, Crane and various Astros players have as well. Sad to say but death threats isn't a super high bar.

Better than "accidentally" getting shot.

Are you suggesting that Elias shouldn't be able to work in MLB because he might have known about the sign stealing?

I haven't seen anything from the O's saying he has. The quote I saw was that he gained 25 pounds.

I take all these stories, even a well written one like this example, with a grain of salt. Of course Sisco is going to be complimentary of his coaches.

Are you talking about Crane?

Nice piece. Enlightening.

Kinda like Geddy Lee?

I was also talking of that other thing, in the Dominican.

I can see where Papi would value discretion.

Already a ton of the ones without being in the hall out there.

He could sell his autograph for more if he was in the Hall.

I use the "all activity" button and go from there.

Rose takes this to the next level.
