Are they? Wells doesn't throw hard by today's standards, neither does Means.

I think he does more than last year but he won't make a really big deal.

Let's say he adds a quality starter and a quality bullpen arm. What does that do to the O's odds to win a WS? Maybe a 5% bump? What is that worth in prospect capital?

Because it's an attempt to curb one team's fanbase from stuffing the ballot.

Word is Holmes was a Commissioner's office pick.

Second place in the fan vote. That doesn't mean they were actually the second most worthy. I don't hardly think a professional athlete needs the motivation of not making an All Star game to try harder. I can see it now, Westburg at the plate thinking to himself, I finished second in the fan vote and didn't make the All-star game, I'm going to show them! Please. Now do I expect them to be disappointed? Sure. That's normal.

I certainly hope they don't need to psych themselves up over something like that. I like to think that just getting swept out of the playoffs last season would be all the extra motivation they need. Let the fans get butt hurt.

I think you should wait until the replacement names are named before chapping your ass.

Please I buy online.

Naw, I'm a vet, I've heard some variation of that before. Of course I sat behind a desk most of the time...

Yea but they struck early with Fuji!

Has Westburg even played against everyone? I can't get upset about players not voting for guys in their first full year.

You did ask for it.

I'd say Oriole fans were overly enthused by their own players and were voting with much zeal.

Geez Skenes made it. Dude has appeared in 10 games! That has to be a record right?

I don't know, he was worried about that ball Cowser tossed earlier in the year.

I'd much rather Kimbrel get some time off.

I'm a Mountcastle fan but the way he's hit recently he lost his chance.

I've had those. I had to switch to wireless because my dumb self broke two pair of studio headphones by pulling them off of my head onto my tile floor. Two months apart.

Bit surprising. I guess he wasn't impressed with what he saw last October.

Yes and no. I love my music but I'm not one of those super picky FLAC guys that have spent thousands upon thousands on gear.

I think their soundbar is way overpriced. Everything else of theirs that I've experienced has been really nice if a bit pricey. If I had a $300 set of Bose I wouldn't be looking to upgrade.

Not as bad as Volpe the other day.

I'm a bit of a music snob. But to be honest they are overkill for Youtube and Spotify and the source material isn't really top notch. I spent closer to the current price of the 4's on them when I got them. I think they are actually going for as much or more than they cost new now as the supply is limited.
