    So he's good enough to stick in a good pen, but not a bad one? Am I the only one who thinks that is backwards?
  2. Mr. Brooks
    Suspended players can still participate with no restrictions in Spring Training.
  3. Mr. Brooks
    Despicable ruling by the Supreme Court today. They ruled in favor of Ohio purging their voter rolls, for no other reason than a person skipping an election cycle. Federal law clearly states that voters can only be removed if they move, commit a felony, become mentally incapacitated, or die. The law seems to be worded clearly to me. I don't understand this ruling. The Republican party cheats to win elections, and the SCOTUS just gave them permission.

    Based off a one game sample size Rooker has solved his questionable walk rate?

    So for more than a year, Florida failed to run any FBI background checks on gun purchases. Apparently the employee forgot her login information, and was too lazy, or embarrassed to ask for help. Over 180,000 applicants were approved, without a required background check.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    This is terrible. I have always loved his shows. I obviously didn't know him, but he came across as so open and genuine. It's rare to see that. He also spoke openly about his demons, with depression and substance abuse. I wish he would have been able to get the help he needed.
  7. Mr. Brooks
    What if a player hits his 5 test maximum by June? Now he knows he can take anything through December. If it's random, it can't have a cap, or you'll always have guys that hit their cap with time to spare.

    I wonder how this guy would react if a business refused to serve Christians.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    Draft picks slot in based on tools. Larnach will be ahead of Rooker, at every single publication, IMO. By your logic, Lewis and Kirilloff should drop below Rooker too.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    Romero is still a prospect until he reaches 50 MLB innings, so 3 more starts, probably.
  11. Mr. Brooks
    Cano Ringo Starr'd it and Got By With a Little Help From His Friend's though.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    Prospect for prospect trades almost never happen.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    Miami is going to want players with a full 6+ years of team control. Why would they have any interest in Sano?
  14. Mr. Brooks
    Anthony Slama. Last pitched in 2014.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    Why would his feelings be hurt by the Twins giving him an opportunity to win a championship? Sure, there is a very small chance a trading team could extend him. How often does that happen this close to free agency though?
  16. Mr. Brooks
    Escobar is a pending free agent. Trading him has no impact on bringing him back, or not, next year.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    Well my liberal, millennial cousin did 3 tours in Iraq removing IED's, and came home with pretty severe PTSD. What an ungrateful kid. Man this place can be embarrassing sometimes.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    EPA Chief Scott Pruitt spent $1560 of taxpayer money for 12 pens. And the government wonders why the people don't like or trust them.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    Schwartz won't be drafted as a catcher though. That's part of the reason why he's not a top prospect anymore.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    Aaron Judge played 71 MORE games in the minors before his debut than Byron Buxton did. And Judge was a college draft pick, Buxton a HS draft pick. Brent Rooker made it to AA 7 games FASTER than Judge did.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    Correct. I edited my post to reflect that.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    Now that i read it again, I think you are correct.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    Cody, as a staff writer, I wish you would stop posting that the Twins declined to send Buxton on a rehab assignment. He only had 2 days remaining on his rehab eligibility (from the migraines). Per MLB rules, a player must be activated after their 20 (30 for pitchers) day rehab eligibility has passed, even if they suffer a new injury, or recurrence of the original injury. Once activated, they must miss 5 or more games (7 for pitchers), while ON the 25 man roster, AND get special approval from the commissioner's office before they can return to the disabled list. EDIT: Upon reading the rule again, it appears I was wrong. I think they just have to be recalled from their rehab assignment, and remain inactive ( but not on the 25 man roster as I previously thought) for 5 days before resuming their rehab assignment. Sorry, and carry on.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    But once you start an official rehab assignment, which Santana did, you only have 20 days for position players, 30 for pitchers to be activated. As far as I know, that rule applies to both 10 and 60 day DL, do you have a link to anything stating otherwise?
  25. Mr. Brooks
    Because if the player isn't injured, he's not going to agree to let you save his option. Players would never run out of options if they just agreed to pretend to be injured every time a team wanted to send them down.
