      As a Blue Jays fan, watching Maile hit was rather disheartening. Although I do remember at the beginning of 2018 he was red-hot and that’s where his nickname “Lukey Barrels” comes from. Obviously, the run wasn’t sustainable and he fell back to earth. As for the hitting comparison, Baseball Reference makes it pretty clear that Jones’s career and 2019 numbers are superior to Maile’s, but Jones is still a well-below average hitter.

      You miss the point. He didn’t say they wouldn’t be good closers, but no team is going to use a TOR arm as a closer, unless he can’t handle the innings. There is no evidence that TJ surgery precludes a lot of innings post surgery/rehab.

      He’s already been a closer…..

    If the season is affected by lockdowns. Maybe a round robin tournament? Marlins – Mariners series would be cool. I’m sure people would want an asterisk and complain how the winner didn’t win. Would be fun to watch though.

    I’ve been told that MLB players follow MLBTR. Can anyone confirm that or does anyone have evidence to that affect?

        Then what year did you play in the World Series? How many seasons did you play in Texas? What was the Pete Incavigila Rule? How many home runs did you hit in your college junior season? When was your MLB debut?
        There isn’t any proof, and I need some to believe that statement.
        Also you apparently used PEDs. Were you pressured into it or did you willingly take them?

        If you are Pete than you arrived at OSU 2 years after I pitched at the national baseball powerhouse know as KU. Pitching at KU will provide you with an indication of my talent level…

      Angels & NL West…….“You’re traded out of the blue, and the only way you find out is by MLB Trade Rumors. All of the media and all of your friends know, but you don’t hear it from the people doing it. Once that happened, I started becoming a pretty fanatical fan of (MLBTradeRumors.com) and read it just about every day.” – Nationals star pitcher Max Scherzer

      “(The) MLB Trade Rumors (app) has changed the game a little bit. That’s a great site. I think it’s a cool site because I don’t go searching the internet for a hundred different articles. You get it all in one place.” – Former Rangers and Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira.
