He's normally doesn't make it that long.

Well he's not as young as he used to be.

I can't be mad, they've got a lot more out of him than I would have ever expected.

Do you even notice how much more often you say things about Mountcastle that you don't say about others? Gunnar strikes out more than Mountcastle, Westburg is right behind him in strikeouts. And yet I don't see you going "Gunnar is going to strike out on a pitch in the dirt." like you do with Mountcastle. Why is that?

Westburg sure strikes out a lot.

Seriously Roy, what is your issue with Mountcastle? Mountcastle is third on the team in strikeouts. Why is he so often the subject of your criticism? What did he do to you?

Lots of misses in that list so I'd take it all with a grain of salt.

FTFY

Who had June 23rd for the Stanton IL trip? Hamstring pull. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/giancarlo-stanton-injury-update-yankees-dh-lands-on-il-with-hamstring-strain-in-latest-hit-for-slugger/

I don't think you'd be able to convince many folks.

I don't think there is a strong argument. You would arguing against every prospect ranking out there, all the way from Baseball America to Tony. Second, you could make a good argument, but if you think he's over Jackson you are giving too much weight to two weeks in the majors.

I didn't pull his name out of the Æther.

Your kid want a happy meal?

There is no way that he was just being casual and was actually trying to convey the sentiment that he doesn't think paying him 22M is the best allocation of resources for the Orioles.

I've read he doesn't control the strike zone that well and will chase. That tends to get exposed in the majors.

I think Norby should have already been traded and has probably been shopped over the last year. So I'll go with Cook by default.

I like to use Jesus Montero as my bad outcome comp for Basallo.

Kinda surprised he isn't also a veteran.

I think they won in '83 just to spite Earl.

He's got an option, they can leave him down all season.

Me neither but they did specify 2025.

I'm not betting Santander gives you that next season.

Who is freaking out? Someone on X? No one here seems that worried.

Ahh the Sandy Denny technique. Not good.

If Santander accepts the QO why do you think another team would trade an asset for the contract? I suppose they might if they value the asset less highly than the draft pick they would have lost for Santander but that doesn't seem likely. In other words, if Santander thinks the best move is to take the QO I don't think the contract will have much, if any, surplus value.
