Positions played.

Yes. Doesn't seem overly concerned about how they are either. Didn't he do it to a Braves catcher in the last round?

There was the time he hit the catcher twice in the same at bat on his backswing. The time he spiked Pedroia.

Right because he didn't dog it to first, throw a bat and get suspended for fighting under Buck.

I've been around long enough to know I was wasting my time posting this in a thread in the MLB section.

Sad thing is they had two guys in the rotation that were even worse. I would have much rather tried to get a hit off of 2017 Tillman.

He didn't run all out on that 3 run home run he hit the other night.

He's got more hits than the Dodgers.

I think they have better resources available.

You don't sign Cobb to a four year deal in that situation. I don't think there was an abundance of planning ahead going on.

Wins are stupid.

Saving him to face Tanaka in the WS.

I'm against Thank God I'm a Country Boy but it doesn't stop others.

But the chop?

Dominican Republic?

My take is that if the O's accelerate it into a one year payment than VVM will not be taxed since he will not be playing games this year.

He isn't going to be working in the State of Maryland this calendar year. Heck he might not step foot in Maryland this year.

I asked this before. Wouldn't signing bonus count against home of record not work location?

Brian Graham. Are you even paying attention? Not even the same ownership group. 2003 was a lifetime ago. . Nope, do the Marlins? Diaz should be up before VVM would be. O's fanbase is a level of multitude larger than the Marlins. If you make it to the majors and female attractiveness is a concern you will find yourself female companionship you find attractive. FACT that doesn't make Jr elite. He's simply not considered a great prospect. I see the goalposts have moved. Just FYI you can't draft Cubans. . Jeter's rep has been taking serious hits since he took that job with the Marlins.

No issue, the O's have someone in charge (that isn't Brady) Last season sure. Don't the Marlins have the longest current streak of sub 500 seasons? ... Do the Marlins have any? I don't honestly know. Miami has no fanbase, last in MLB in attendance. Once again why is female attractiveness a concern? Mesa Jr is NOT an elite prospect. Teams sign players all the time that are not elite prospects. Do the Marlins? You didn't answer me. The O's have signed Cuban players and had them reach the majors. Beef. Once again I'm betting the Mesa brothers don't know any of the five folks the O's sent. Or many folks from the other teams.

The Marlins have team leadership? The Marlins win? Can't speak to it. Diaz is Cuban. Miami has a fanbase? Sexist much? Mesa Jr is elite now? When did that happen? I'm not sure VVM counts as elite but at least he has a case. The Marlins do? Ublado, Beef. The O's have signed Latin players. Do you think the Mesas have much of an idea who is who at the workout? Or their agent for that matter.

Sure, the point is a team can overcome a geographical disadvantage.

And yet for a time there, they went to Cleveland. Almost like it isn't just the geographical location.

The way I see it, if they sign together they still won't be playing together for at least three years.
