Does anyone have opinions on this? Has it been poor execution of any sort of offseason programs? Do they need a sports psychologist to come in for the first two months of the season? Maybe they are tired to start the season from competing for all those cactus league championships? Could this offseason be different with the current coaching staff now having a full year and continuing their new approach? I want to believe... |

He was a shutdown fireballer that gave the Red Raiders length. Obviously, it's the walks that hurt his draft stock, but thought he was too much of an arm talent to get taken in the 11th round by the Tigers. He didn't sign of course. |

I know innocent until proven guilty and all that, but this is looking really bad for Wander. Must be digging up some pretty bad shit. |

But yeah, it does have the feel of something that might evaporate at the start of next season. |

ESPN article came out with a contract projection for Shohei Ohtani.
Their prediction... 12 yr $787.9 mil That contract would have a 99% chance of being the worst contract in sports history. He will turn 30 in his first year and players can fall off fast after that. There is no way he'd keep up production to the point that the contract would be worth it. Damn near $70 mil a year is ludicrous, especially over 12 seasons and in a sport like baseball in which you can have that very player and pair him with one of the greatest players ever and not make the playoffs. The only player in professional sports thatd I would give that contract to would be Patrick Mahomes. |

With that said, baseball is a sport where you can really set your franchise back if you pay the wrong guy. It's hard to say any guy is worth 50M a year. No one baseball player can impact the team the same way a QB can in football or any player in basketball. |

Mofo is hitting .341 with a 1.035 OPS over his last 30 games with 9 HRs and 30 RBIs. He's playing like a guy that could carry a team.
Ragans with another pretty good outting so far. 6 IP/8 Hits/3 ER/2 BBs/9 Ks Really exciting stuff from him. Counting today's game he's pitched 28 2/3 innings/2.20 ERA/36 strikeouts/10 walks A simple change of adding a slider has him looking like a borderline ace of he can get the hits down a tad. |
