Hopefully he's happy and he managed to keep and invest some part of his $23M in career earnings.  But that's not a healthy weight.

It sure isn't a healthy weight.

I'm betting he doesn't have much of his career earnings left.  Anyway, he'd probably be our best starter behind Means right now.  I bet he could put up Harvey numbers, at least.

I was going to say that his money may go a lot further in Aruba, but that's apparently not the case.

Aruba is 9.7% more expensive than United States.

I don't think it's uncommon that an island, especially one that small, is more expensive than the mainlands.  If you can't get things on the island naturally such as food, it needs to be imported, driving the prices up.  I don't know much about Aruba but I'm assuming the main thing that drives the economy is tourism.

It is the largest driver of their economy. And you're 100% right about small islands often having higher costs for groceries, etc. for the reason mentioned.

This is true. Went to Turks & Caicos a couple years ago and grocery prices were like double compared to the USA. And it has to do with almost every good being imported. Alaska is similar with prices of groceries being higher because everything has to be brought in from a great distance.

I feel dumb for asking..... but is he the one on the left or right in the picture?

My exact question when I saw that and noting no one had made it clear. I really am not sure. 

 

Btw, what a weird day. Daniel Cabrera and Sidney Ponson are both titles of threads on the board here in July 2021

    • Seems like a good thread to consider whether Mansolino has done a good job generally.   The O’s have been thrown out at home only 11 times, tied for 6th fewest in MLB (13.3 is average).   They have scored from 1st on a double 41.5% of the time, vs. league average of 38.2% of the time. They have scored from 2B on a single 62.9% of the time, vs. league average 61.8% of the time.   The O’s have been thrown out at 3B 6 times, tied for 3rd fewest in MLB. They have gone 1st to 3rd on a single 36.2% of the time, vs. league average 31.9%.   So, the overall profile is that the O’s take an extra base to get to 3B or score on a single or a double at a greater rate than the average team, yet they are thrown out trying to do those things less than the average team. Not all the credit or the blame for these things falls on the 3B coach.   And, there are some plays involving the 3B coach that I can’t capture, like scoring from 3B on a fly out or a ground ball.   However, based on what we can capture, I think you’d have to say that Mansolino has done a pretty good job, despite individual decisions that may have been wrong.  
    • Looks like AL East and AL West have same deal with 7 to play - 5 game leads and the chaser has three at the first place team. Royals now having lost 6 in a row - the 5/6/7 is fuzzy. Tuesday night will only be some fun if the O's pick up a game today - 1 back with a sweep going to the final weekend an opportunity, 2 back with a sweep going to the final weekend a mirage.     The Orioles have played the showdown generally into Grapefruit League mode, but at least yesterday was not a playoff game. NYY in great shape for 1 seed, won regular season series 4-2 over CLE, so effectively 3 up in the loss column.    CLE one of the few clubs with two off days in the final week, and a likely bye to rest that hard worked cadre of relievers.    That said, the Astros do play the Guardians the final weekend, and could be within striking distance of that valuable seeding into the ALDS round.
    • Nope..corn can be a slang for weed.  You are a morally bankrupt human being!!!!!!
    • Anything hit in the outfield no matter how deep you automatically tag up. That is learned in little league. This is not hard. I had a play exactly like this in town ball. You go back to the bag and then watch. As soon as the shortstop went down off you go and the game is over. Why that third base coach was pointing DOWN the line is a cardinal sin. Don't fire the guy but give him a solid scolding. 
    • Typical fail for SG on the literacy test.
    • So then I don't think he gets optioned. I think they save him for the postseason roster. I see Johnson and Jimenez going for Westburg and Urias. Mountcastle may not be back till the playoffs. 
    • For the O's they won game after game like this last year. For the Ravens go back to 2012 I guess. Im in South Florida at least you guys dont have to put up with the Dolphins. Now thats a team that will get on youre nerves.
