The attitude and persona your words have so carefully crafted over time reflect who you are as a person and can easily be used to predict how you'll feel and what you'll say about anything involving the Yankees.
I don’t care if championship is stripped, players suspended or team sold but lawsuits? I think this is a sideshow. The dodgers have the real claim not this guy.
Depleted their farm? BA just ranked them 17th and talked about their upside in the lower levels. Its not top tier but its far from depleted especially considering their whole team is sprinkled with home grown players. As for the geriatric, the average age of their 40 man is 27.7 and tampa bay is 27.6. They lost severino, paxton, and didnt have cole last year and still won 106 games. Please pump your brakes. Talking about no missing links, how about you actually try getting people into your bum ass stadium first.
Exactly. If the Angels called the Rays today and said we’ll trade you Mike Trout and his contract straight up for Wander Franco, the Rays would say no. To be fair, the Angels would also say no if the Rays called and asked for Trout straight up for Franco.
There might, and I stress might, be 5 players in all of MLB that the Rays would trade straight up for Wander. Truthfully, I’m struggling to come up with even one off of the top of my head.
The potential value of his 6.5 team controlled seasons is extremely valuable to any team but even more so to the budget conscious Rays. Obviously all prospects come with the potential to not live up to expectations, but Franco is on another level compared to even other #1 overall prospects. To give you an idea of the expectations, FG just gave him an 80 FV. That means they believe he will be a 7+ WAR/season, top 5 in all of baseball type of player. All teams would struggle to give up that potential, but for the Rays it’s virtually impossible.
Does Snitker for the 3rd year in a row start Acuna off in the middle of the order only to move him to the lead off spot after Acuna doesn't put up big numbers in the 4 spot?
Do you even think about looking at all of the facts before you speak (type)? Mike Bolsinger was placed on waivers in April, May,& July of 2017. He was placed on waivers BEFORE he even pitched against the Astros
The Astros free agents will be fascinating, especially as more players are becoming outspoken against them. Signing those guys and asking your team to invite them in as teammates will be interesting.
All depends on how Springer and the other cheaters do this year. And I think they know that. If he and the others can proceed without a hitch, they'll get contracts when they're up for them. IMO.
You must be an Astros fan. Stupid comments like "CA is a joke" that's the best you can do? Call your mom and ask her why she didn't teach you to develop better thinking skills. Hopefully, you've not spawned.
Pine tar, and any viscous substance would affect spin rate. It increases friction, and that coupled with rotational force on the ball increases spin rate. Sweat can affect spin rate, natural oil on the skin can increase spin rate. The humidity of a stadium, the amount of mud rubbed onto the ball varies from ball to ball, changes spin. It all does.
Vaseline or oil would decrease spin. Lots of spit would decrease spin, because it decreases friction. That could impart a knuckling effect on the ball.
I think everyone had a guy or two who could just play anything and be good at it. Tampa Bay drafts and develops all of those guys. As a result, they have starting caliber depth at every position but with a minimum of players needed.
Well he is not asking for money so that shows what you know. He wants the Astros like $31 million or whatever they made on the series forfeited to charity
This idea that people aware of the cheating are by default ethically challenged is too simplistic. I’m sorry, but there certainly were factors that played into players not speaking out. 54 players and coaches circulated that dugout thru the season, and if you are to believe that all of them are substandard human beings I think you are simply wrong.
The majority of major league pitchers use a sticky substance of some kind. I think the pine tar thing had nothing to do with Bauer demanding level playing fields, and had everything to do with Bauer being jealous of Cole’s success.
Its not even money. He won't get money from this. It's a stunt. It can't be that he was on the wrong side of 30, a non prospect and non major leaguer who threw 89. It was all those trash cans the Astros were injecting themselves with.
This is about fraud. The Astros and MLB will push hard to get this dismissed but if that fails, a settlement with a confidentiality agreement is likely. There is no way they will exchange discovery and take depositions if they can help it as such would likely reveal other cheating and lead to more suits.
Discovery can be granted by a court to determine the merits. There is probably a lot of details on codebreaker and who was involved and when that could be brought further into public discussion. If that is the case then the astros would move to settle or get discovery quahshed by other means. There is potential here for bolsinger to get a nice bonus paycheck with little actual money spent on the lawsuit.
One difference is that Grandal served a 50 game suspension. Not only could he not play and keep up hi skills and contribute to his resume, he paid millions of dollars as a kind of fine in lost income. So, for many of us, he paid his dues. The Astros have paid no dues. There is unsettled business with Springer. He did not pay any dues. He collected his WS winnings. Heck, if the Astros cheated in 2018 and/or 2019, then there is unsettled business with Cole. If this turned out to be true, The Yankees would not have known this was the case at the time of doing the deal with Cole, then the Yankees might have some remorse in that case... As a fan, I would.
I’m not sure how this changes anything in the bos/sd trade. Unless your suggesting sd is now willing to part with gore Cleveland still doesn’t add Lindor to this. I’m not sure why people think trading prospects to get rid of a bad contract makes a third team more likely to jump in. They still want what they want for the people they would them trade. Nothing coming from Boston in this trade would move the needle for Cleveland to jump in, and they already didn’t like sd trade purposely, so what has changed?
Pine tar improves grip not certain how it affects spin rate, I know that lots of batters even have advocated for pitchers using pine tar so they dont end up getting hit. I’m not certain but I think they are/were using something more in the nature of sunscreen or vaseline. Either way, anything that helps pitchers improve spin rate on its own should be illegal since higher spin rate is undeniably an advantage. If anyone knows what specific substances could improve spin rate on their own please chime in!
There was very little of anything about sincerity about how the Astros, starting with their owner and all the way down the player list handled the allegations....nothing sincere about what/how/when they said anything.
One game doesn’t dictate your career as a pitcher. Tons of hall of famers had bad outings and bounced back. It’s unfortunate what happened to him but it’s not the reason for his lack of success
If memory serves....wasn't Ortiz's supposed drug use never disclosed along with many others?...It was widely known that he was on the "list" but results have been tied up in litigation although he has never been able to shake allegations that he did test positive for something....we just don';t know what.
If that's the case how can you say he never tested positive when the results were never disclosed?
I reserve my "Judge"ment for this season. If Judge is unable to stay on the field for at least 130 games and Betts has at least a 7ish WAR season, then I might be convinced to pursue Betts and let Judge move on. But only if you can get get Betts for $300-$330MM. If he has a 10 WAR season (I don't believe he will, ever again) and goes for $360MM or more, forget it.
Jays probably lose less on the trade, as Fisher still has a chance to make it as a starter. Good tools, good minor league numbers, just can't seem to pull it together in the majors.
Nimmo didn’t play even half a year last year and you’re using that ops lol... use his full year with no injuries...
Davis ops?? Where did you get if from.. his like 10 games as a Astro lol!
Smith... let’s just forget last year.....
Lowrie before last year had back to back 800 ops seasons..
Rosario has gotten better every year and his 2nd half ops was over 800. He’ll pass 800 this year.....
Ramos can’t have a 800 ops dude your right. I forgot that Gary sanchez had a ops below 700 in 18....
You’re clueless dude
That’s at worst 6-7 800+ ops bats right there.. and let me tell you something if they all played against the Orioles, jays and redsoxs 19 times And their team played in a little league stadium their ops would all be above 800 and the Yankees wouldn’t have 6-7 above 800
Why not sign Puig for everyday RF for now? Reasonable cost, predictable production with consistency the last 3 years. Build value, trade to contender when Haniger, or one of the young guys, is ready.
This should be interesting to say the least. I doubt he can win in court....but I doubt mlb or the Astros want it in court. Then all the evidence can become public. They will pay him just to go away.
He can't prove damage to his career after having a 6.83 ERA in 2016 and a 5.49 ERA in 2017. His career didn't end after being that bad either. He went overseas and made more than $1 million per season.
This will not even get into discovery. It will be thrown out summarily.
Nimmo was hurt last year and didn’t play full year. He played a full year in 2018 and had an ops of 800+...
Davis had a ops close to 900 last year...
Ramos could definitely have a year like 2018 again...
And cano was also hurt...
Here's my take on Cole, Astros's cheating, and the NYY deal:
1) According to the report the cheating occurred in 2017 and Cole was not there. If we can believe the report then the cheating is a non-issue for Cole and the NYY's acquisition of Cole.
2) If the cheating took place in 2018 and 2019 then Cole was complicit. He should have been punished with the rest of the players. Then the Yankees acquired an ethically challenged pitcher. In that case I wish they hadn't but a) at that point they didn't know and b) there are worse things, such as someone who actively participated.
The other issue is the impact of cheating on Cole's stats and therefore the valuation of him as it reflects upon the deal. It could certainly have affected his Wins and Losses. It might also have affected his ERA (and related stats involving Runs) if you buy some people's arguments that getting extra run support improves a pitcher's performance due to reduced stress.
The bigger issue for me is the pine tar factor. If as Bauer and others have claimed pitchers like Cole (and Verlander) used tar to dramatically improve their performance, then I am very concerned about the deal the NYY gave him. If he is not allowed to or prevented from using pine tar, which in my opinion he shouldn't, and he depends on it, then we would see a dramatic decline in his performance, which, given his contract, would be devastating.
I am pretty sure that the Reds aren't just going to give up Senzel. Why would they participate unless they are getting something to either benefit the club today or to restock the farm system. I don't see anything that San Diego would bother sending to Cincy that we would either want or need.
I seriously fail to see how his case has merit. He sucked before during and after. One game does not dictate a career. He is using it as an excuse for money.
I really don’t care one way or another what Bauer does. Ultimately, it’s the owners who care and the owners have a business to run. If they believe Bauer has a high risk of being bad for business, they’re not going to sign him. Owners want conformists, not people that beat to their own drum.
Barring injury,neither will play more than a couple games per week. There fixed it unless you have a crystal ball, none of us know how the season will play out.
Strike Four, metrics didnt back him as being the worst in 2019. It was his second yr in a new position and he improved a lot. Now he'll be in a smaller park. I'd be willing to bet money he's a scratch defender this yr.
Hopefully, Bolsinger’s’ attorneys can subpoena MLB’s interviews with the Astros players and use whatever they admitted to against them. Even though Manfred gave them immunity, that won’t protect them in a court of law.
"This has officially passed Chris Davis as the worst contract in baseball"
Nowhere did you say current, now, or state you meant last 5, 10 years. You arbitrarily threw out a statement, were owned pretty badly and put in your place, and now you wanna toss in the word now. But hey when you're proven wrong why not change the criteria.
What's even funnier is his contract isn't the worst in baseball whether then or now. So you're wrong twice lmao.

Thanks Mo

Well, the bangs are back. This time it's the fans. #stgonebad
Depleted their farm? BA just ranked them 17th and talked about their upside in the lower levels. Its not top tier but its far from depleted especially considering their whole team is sprinkled with home grown players.

Yeah, because minor league pickups are always difference-makers.
this off season just keeps getting better for Tampa
Thats true. He even got reps at second base lol
There might, and I stress might, be 5 players in all of MLB that the Rays would trade straight up for Wander. Truthfully, I’m struggling to come up with even one off of the top of my head.

All teams would struggle to give up that potential, but for the Rays it’s virtually impossible.
Nah. Doesn't make sense for the braves.
He'll go back to left next season probably.
Indeed. Lucroy might be a nice comeback story in camp but he is toast.
Because it's easier to find a long term CF than a corner OF. Maybe they swing a trade for JBJ if Inciarte is meh again.
They plugged Vasquez in the field playing various positions to reduce the wear and tear on him last year. Maybe they’ll do that again.
Does Snitker for the 3rd year in a row start Acuna off in the middle of the order only to move him to the lead off spot after Acuna doesn't put up big numbers in the 4 spot?
If the Yankees have known about the floating body issue before a couple of weeks ago, why haven't they gotten surgical opinions yet?
Laypeople... Now rather than be non biased, you just made a word that sounds like it means sexable people. Nice.
Castellanos will get a DH gig somewhere.
Dodgers should extend Turner and let him swap positions with Muncy .
Do you even think about looking at all of the facts before you speak (type)? Mike Bolsinger was placed on waivers in April, May,& July of 2017. He was placed on waivers BEFORE he even pitched against the Astros

I think you mean Kapler, not Klentak.

You must be an Astros fan. Stupid comments like "CA is a joke" that's the best you can do? Call your mom and ask her why she didn't teach you to develop better thinking skills. Hopefully, you've not spawned.
Davis' OPS was .896. You can look this stuff up.
Find one in every car.
Commissioner Manfred ban the Houston Astros from 2020 post season play. That will hit the cheaters where it really hurts.
Just 1 season Acuña isn't shuffled around in the order and the field. Just 1.
Parents wouldn’t let you stay up to watch the playoffs last year?
LH

More necessary than your useless comment.
I think everyone had a guy or two who could just play anything and be good at it. Tampa Bay drafts and develops all of those guys. As a result, they have starting caliber depth at every position but with a minimum of players needed.
Astros fan will tell you Lucroy ran into Jake who was clearly trying to avoid contact.
I'd take Plawecki over Lucroy right now. No doubt about it.
Well he is not asking for money so that shows what you know. He wants the Astros like $31 million or whatever they made on the series forfeited to charity
Betts went from 6.4 WAR to 10.9 to 6.8. 10.9 was 2018. What are you saying?
His MLB career did end. Going overseas was due to the fact his MLB career ended.
It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out

They should offer him a contract. Lol
Wow. Just posted my thoughts and the discovery aspect didn't dawn on me. Yeah I could see "here's 2 mil now go away"
Its not even money. He won't get money from this. It's a stunt. It can't be that he was on the wrong side of 30, a non prospect and non major leaguer who threw 89. It was all those trash cans the Astros were injecting themselves with.
Castellanos was terrible in RF last year.
-9 DRS (worst)
.-4.3 UZR/150 - only Charlie Blackmon was worse
This is about fraud. The Astros and MLB will push hard to get this dismissed but if that fails, a settlement with a confidentiality agreement is likely. There is no way they will exchange discovery and take depositions if they can help it as such would likely reveal other cheating and lead to more suits.

Disagree, Chip. TB won plenty last year despite missing the likes of Glasnow and Yandy Diaz for large chunks of the season. They are better this year.
One difference is that Grandal served a 50 game suspension. Not only could he not play and keep up hi skills and contribute to his resume, he paid millions of dollars as a kind of fine in lost income. So, for many of us, he paid his dues.

lol no chance the Rays deal the game's best prospect.
Sure thing! Why don't we throw in Morton, Meadows, and McKay, too? Franco and Honeywell might not work out so bet-hedging is a great idea.
Wander Franco 80 future value! You know, I was Reds fan pre-1998...
Some people know what a genuine apology is, others don't. People who are not sincere pretty much never get it right. They offer non-apology apologies.
Reeks of Phillies to me
He’s a borderline MLB pitcher, and his contention is the Astros cheating pushed him on to the wrong side of the border.
Franco + Honey....maybe for trout + adell but think I’d still rather just keep Franco.
I feel like the Yanks are gonna stay away from ex-Astro hitters for a while...
I’m not sure how this changes anything in the bos/sd trade. Unless your suggesting sd is now willing to part with gore Cleveland still doesn’t add Lindor to this.

That's all for now.
Cardinals' #2 starter. I would say it is a pretty big deal. Just doesn`t get the same press because he isn`t a Yankee, Red Sox, or Dodgers' pitcher.
This couldn't have happened to a more deserving player.
Everyone else would be surprised
No pay no play.
Mustang your nuts
I’m happy as hell rn lol
I am pretty sure that the Reds aren't just going to give up Senzel. Why would they participate unless they are getting something to either benefit the club today or to restock the farm system. I don't see anything that San Diego would bother sending to Cincy that we would either want or need.
I like children when they are properly cooked
Fan of comedy... your team won’t win 60 games. Your life is a comedy.
Not close. baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/outs_above_aver…
No he doesn’t. This is a joke of a lawsuit. California is a joke and he took the joke there. People there will try to sue anyone for anything.
Boston is really going for it this year. I would imagine that this move terrifies both the Yankees and the Jays.
Come to Quark’s , Quarks is fun. Come right now. Don’t walk .... run!
I seriously fail to see how his case has merit. He sucked before during and after. One game does not dictate a career. He is using it as an excuse for money.
Just a matter of time before Mandred institutes under hand pitching in order to protect pitchers.
I really don’t care one way or another what Bauer does. Ultimately, it’s the owners who care and the owners have a business to run. If they believe Bauer has a high risk of being bad for business, they’re not going to sign him. Owners want conformists, not people that beat to their own drum.
Nobody wants to play with Springer. Not even Jerry.
Exactly. And that's not even considering the hefty Suarez's contract.
Suspending the team is bad for business.
Let me guess Les Reds fan lol.
Melkor77... In what way haven't they shown a lack of contrition? What do you want them to do?
I may be in the minority, but I do not see Bauer having a good year nor him getting anywhere close to 30 million. The 20 million will be a stretch.
Guess who’s back !!
Barring injury,neither will play more than a couple games per week. There fixed it unless you have a crystal ball, none of us know how the season will play out.
Strike Four, metrics didnt back him as being the worst in 2019. It was his second yr in a new position and he improved a lot. Now he'll be in a smaller park. I'd be willing to bet money he's a scratch defender this yr.
D’ Nile is a river in Egypt.
Just wait. What the Red Sox did IS similar.
Absolutely the Astros pitchers had/have been cheating. Your spin rate does not dramatically increase like that.
one barged into the other in cannonball style?
Hopefully, Bolsinger’s’ attorneys can subpoena MLB’s interviews with the Astros players and use whatever they admitted to against them. Even though Manfred gave them immunity, that won’t protect them in a court of law.
