then he must have spent it all.....

Get rid of service time completely. do it by age. If a team keeps a pitcher in the minors forever, and then makes him a RP......at age 28 or 29, he'll never get paid REAL BASEBALL money. Just make everyone 28 and older not under contract a FA. Also, anyone that plays any part of, any part, of 4 or 5 seasons in the majors. Really not that hard to change it if either side really wants to change it. And Brock is right, they don't care about the minor league players at all. If they did, they'd give them healthy food in the clubhouse, and a living wage. There is more than enough money to do that.

By what measure was it not that bad? WAR?....23rd ERA......21st K/9......last
-
How good has the bullpen been lately? Not so good, right? I guess I don't worry about anything sports' related anymore, but it seems reasonable, as a fan, to wonder what they are planning at this point.
-
we've been over this.......all the actual DATA shows he would have been safe at that pace. It is false hustle to run out that play hard, false hustle that adds NO VALUE to the play for his team, but does actually sometimes result in a pulled hamstring. There is no after the fact rationalization here at all. none. Anyone that thinks Harper doesn't play hard does not actually watch Nationals' games.
-
You don't think that's the plan this year? What do you think it is? Because it doesn't appear to be to sign really good RP in FA either.
-
Paul Ryan's refusal to say bad things about Trump's position on this (and many senators also) reminds me how much the party left me, more than I left the party. It's sad, really.
-
If the plan was to use internal candidates.....where were those guys in September of this year? Or do they magically become good over the winter?
-
I agree, but it would be a big change from their MO. I called for him to come up and pitch out of the bullpen last year. Really, he should have been a lefty out of the bullpen last year, but for some reason, did not.
-
Milone should move to the newly created "pitch 120 innings, innings 5-6" out of a quality player, not a random AAAA player role that teams will be adopting soon, and the Twins could lead that change. Won't happen.

Shields For Nolasco: Would You Do It?

I don't know the answer....but if that third year wasn't there? 100% yes. But I see NO WAY SD does this.- 108 replies

I think it is "funny" how one part of the bill of rights is SO IMPORTANT that it is harder to buy cough syrup than a gun......but freedom of religion isn't important at all to many of those same people. People that claim the constitution is inviolate (as if it has never changed) and that THAT is what we are fighting for.
-
Prospects are worth millions of dollars.......trading is expensive. And, I can't see a team trading a cheap RP that is really really good, why wouldn't they just keep said cheap player?
-
I predict Rogers wastes away in AAA, when was the last time they converted a starter into a RP (w/o first trying them as a starter in the majors)?
-
He has no chance to win this. The easy fix for this is to declare everyone a FA based on their age......if you aren't signed to a MLB contract when you are 28, you are a FA. Phew, that was hard.
-
I am beginning to wonder about their willingness to acquire an elite (or even good) bullpen....
-
Preach racism, and government is evil, and politicians are evil, and hate speech, and lie after lie, you get Trump. that's the natural outcome of this.
-
Even Dick Cheney came out and said Trump was wrong.....Dick bleeping Cheney.

Are those like pfeffer nuts? (that's what they called them, I would guess the german spelling is very different than that). German hard cookies? My grandmother made those like crazy, and later my mom.
-
1. Meh 2. It's good to have AL teams get worse. 3. Because they need 2-4 RPs, not 1-2, and their track record at developing RP is awful 4. Ya think?
-
I don't really care about the rumors......I do care if they improve the team. We'll see over the next couple months what happens. As for the RP discussion above......they haven't developed starters or RP recently. Last year their plan was 4 of 5 starters being FAs......and much of the bullpen. Hopefully that changes this year, but if I was the GM, I'd go get AT LEAST one more RP that I thought was awesome.

Tomorrow is pretend you are a time traveler day. According to one of my FB friends, and my dad (wow, that was a surprise), they've already been there and it wasn't anything special. Can we change the future?

Ya, those two do NOT look alike at all....

I'm not upset, more eye rolly......

I would have been fired for choking a co-worker. This is the kind of thing that makes athletes look like spoiled brats.
