But the opportunity is kinda gone.

Right, because we thought it could be better spent elsewhere. Now that it's gone...

I don't think anyone cares about paying Kemp beyond thinking that money could have been better allocated elsewhere.

The thing is, Gunnar was walking a ton early last year (had 29 walks through May) and he wasn't hitting well. Once he started being more aggressive his offense came online. Do we want 17 walks with a 659 OPS or four walks with a 994? It would be great if he could combine the two approaches, but if I have to pick one, I'll let him stay aggressive.

They can't all be Mountcastle up there at the plate!

I wonder if he's being totally truthful. He's only got 22 innings in AA. 18 games with Chattanooga in 2014 and a single inning in Witchita in 2022. Here is that Chattanooga roster. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?id=03c849e2

She's in the lead but I'm not willing to call it yet. I will say she has managed to released a lot of her albums twice, which is a solid start.

I don't think RZNJ has ever tried to tangle with Frobby.

Hopefully.

He made over 3M in his career, he's been working since he retired and the MLB pension is around 265K a year for those fully vested. Depending on how well his restaurant did he might have it.

You are justifying not spending to support his minor league teams because he needed the money for his new wife? I don't find that a compelling argument.

And no one is suggesting otherwise. And yet you want to fight about it.

Ha, I see what you did there!

I've put too much effort into this. Boomers- Beatles X- Star Wars Millennials- Harry Potter Not sure what it will be for Z.

That it looks like his framing and throwing isn't as good. It's my opinion so six games seems sufficient. Boy you are really looking to pick a fight today aren't you?

I don't put game calling on the catcher. I'm mostly talking about framing and throwing.

Nope. It's been years and I don't have any sources to cite.

I've been tired of Cal since I heard how he runs his minor league teams.

I'd feel better about it if his work behind the plate still looked like it did in 2023.

What is your cutoff for "elite"? Gunnar is at 6.2 rWAR/per 162. That's higher than Riley, Seager, Witt, and Julio.

But they are better than Oakland/Chicago/Colorado!

Wow, someone is down on Trout.

Bahh it's more fun looking up names you think qualify!

Berra played in 151 games in two different seasons.
