Interesting aspect about Jazz... Been dreadful with RISP, and bad in medium and low leverage. But in late & close games, he's got a .977 OPS (Games 7th inning or later, team ahead by a run, tied, or tying run on deck) .869 OPS in high leverage. With everyone healthy, I'd move Bellinger down...

Send me a DM at any time. I’ll help get you started.

Cards with drawings of players were my favorite as a kid. Between Donruss Diamond Kings, 89-93 Upper Deck Checklists and Fleer Pro-Visions Here’s what I have so far. This is the guy who did the Pro Visions cards

Yankees willing to die on the Anthony Volpe hill every night.

Someone get Billy Beane on the horn, so he can come in and trade Volpe to keep Caballero at SS. I don't know how many ****** Cabby plays in the OF for them to stop playing Volpe. Or hell, put Cabby at 3B. Have the best fielder (this year) in baseball not playing in LF tonight, he's in CF...

Dave Stewart.

Yeah. Absolutely. They are tax haven, guarantee return investments. Where they subsidize the biggest costs onto the consumer or get it through revenue sharing.

The stars will not sign 5 or 6 year max deals. They will do what NBA stars do. Sign 2+1 option. So when the option comes they take it. Then negotiate a higher starting salary 2+1. Rinse and repeat. The Rockies, Pirates, Marlins etc are going to get rocked just the same.

And exactly what a Cap does. It pits players against players to drive down salaries.

by the way. Cheap *** owners (smartly) were signing all their young prospects to 8,9,10 year deals to avoid arbitration and lock up a couple FA years. Oh it’s not going to limit player salaries. Then propose a maximum salary :rollin

MLBPA shouldn’t accept it. They won’t accept. We’re all going to play more baseball next year than the players. Billionaire owners buy a tax haven can’t lose investment and then hold it for ransom by providing minimal investment and the subsidizing 90% of it.

Wolves sealed their fate when they traded for Gobert.

If you don't overuse him... Bednar as the closer. Cruz as your 7th inning or need to get out of a jam guy. He seems to continuously come up big in runners on, no out situations. Brent Headrick as your run of the mill bullpen guy. He's been really good. Blackburn and Yarbrough as your need to...

Man loves lollipops.

Sure. But I don’t think we’d add a SS or 3B this year, just doesn’t seem in the cards. Honestly need a -Catcher, -a big time setup man to Bednar. -An innings eater in the middle innings. (Need just enough to get away from Doval and Bird) I think you can have all that plus Skubal while not...
