Didn't say that, what I said is that is part of the reason. Ultimately Angelos is to blame.

Two.

Just like yesterday...huh? I said nothing about Dan and Toronto. I think Buck went behind Dan's back to advocate for Davis and that is part of the reason that Angelos bypassed Dan to make a deal with Boras.

I think that if he wasn't interested he wouldn't be going to interviews.

I believe that part of the reason Angelos got more involved is that Buck went behind Dan's back to ownership.

I think they made the right call considering the type of manager they were targeting.

Just because the tweet is political doesn't mean the conversation has to be. No way this type of talk is acceptable right?

Jimmy did it on national television and sexual harassment wasn't the hot topic race relations were.

None of the guys I'm thinking about are pitchers. I don't think the current ideas on player development are going to lead to many 19-20 year old pitchers in the majors. Last hype guy I can think of that was pitching in the majors at 19 was Urias with the Dodgers. He did pretty well at 19.

Lot of really talented International players hitting the majors by the age of 20.

I figured someone reading this didn't know even if you did.

He's a guy they signed at 16 out of the Dominican for 1.5M. I read today that he was younger than the majority of the first round of the 2019 draft.

Aside from taking a called strike three while staring at third base.

Teams draft a disproportional number of CF and SS because the best players on a particular team (therefor more likely to be drafted) are more likely to play those positions. If you are in left field as a high school player odds are you aren't going to be a ML prospect down the road.

So you mention Diaz, who is projected to play right field. Why not just mention Santander who would be in Left? You can see how it would be confusing when you mention a guy that plays CF/RF while talking about LF/1B/DH types.

Thanks for the Cuddyer example, it certainly sounds like he got some sort of buyout.

Diaz? Why did you include Diaz?

Frobby said drafted as a CF or SS. Mountcastle was. Evidently no one expects Gunnar to stick at short.

I'm not saying he would, but I don't think your statement that it has never happened is accurate. Gil Meche gave up 12M.

Mountcastle played SS when he was drafted, so did Mark Reynolds. Aren't they already talking about moving Gunnar Henderson off of short? Folks are talking about a right handed 1B going 1/1 next year, one went 1/3 this year.

By most guys being limited I mean in organized baseball. Anyone who isn't five tool is limited right?

Very.few of them aren't limited.

Thirty years ago the story would have died.

On the subject of grievances...

It's the team's job to market what players they have.
