  1. assumptions are like 80% of discussion in here. Want to shut down assumptions based on info available there wont be much discussion at all.
  2. Yeah, it's horrible that fans discuss conditioning of professional athletes. What are they thinking? Those discussions shouldn't be discussed on a sports board.
  3. He lost the temporary weight he put on during the season, right? That's not really established long term weight and should have been easy to lose. Especially for a young professional athlete with everything available to him to help him do it. So, yeah, ONLY 15 pounds in 4+ months. He should have lost what he gained in the season last year, especially since he showed up overweight in ST last year. AND THEN he should have lost another 10-15.
  4. Yeah, him not being in the OF is a good thing, though didn't they mention they haven't ruled out playing OF some?
  5. Why would anyone purposely WANT to think/say he doesn't move well if they think he does? If you and others believe he moves well, fine. When comparing him to other 3Bs, I don't think he does at all. We'll see how it goes. No one wants him to fail. I also hope he learned how to track and catch easy infield flies.
  6. When you talk about when Cabrera moved back to 3B, do you mean in 2012 and 2013 where he had -22 DRS combined and an average -15 UZR? :-)
  7. I did mean Sano, yes. And for a 3B, I didn't see him moving well last year at 3B (or the year before) with the exception of coming in well on slow rollers and just slowly hit balls in general.
  8. lateral movement
  9. Well, that's good, cause his lack of foot range may require a lot of diving.
  10. yeah, although not clear, that is what I meant. He let himself get to 286, only lost 15 pounds, and is now sitting at 271 as he tries to tackle the hot corner.
  11. I have no problem with getting rid of having to throw the intentional walk pitches, but it is going to have minimal effect on pace of play. Just not enough of them for it to make any difference. They need to enforce the pitch clock and keep batters in the box between pitches (if they didn't make contact or it didn't almost hit them). They also need to give the managers like 1 minute to challenge a call and the umpires in NY should only have 2 minutes to make a judgment.
  12. As everyone is complaining about projections, I thought it'd be important to throw this out there. For what it'ss worth: GERB: Do the projected standings take strength of schedule into account? I would think the CLE and DET would get a pump for playing 1/3 of their games against the Royals, Twins, and Whitesox Dave Cameron: The projected standings do not include a schedule adjustment. The playoff odds, which will come out soon, will take schedule into account.
  13. Lost 15 pounds and is still 271 LBs.
  14. This is a story about Berrios and his command. It has nothing to do with any position players. No need to use this thread to yet again slam Mauer.
  15. Jimmy Fallon did a funny skit about Trump starting his own news agency. TNN.
  16. Anne Frank Center slamed Trump.
  17. Ozzie is the best defensive shortstop of all time and is 6th all time in bWAR for shortstops at 76.5.
  18. #4 in our system because our system is, well, underwhelming. I am surprised he isnt #1 in here cause most propsect listing seem to think he is our top guy. He likely is our best prospect, which is sad. We have been drafting pretty high lately and the results have been underwhelming to say the least.
  19. Not that I know of, but if you go to a restaurant type place, even a Buffalo Wild Wings, you can only drink if you get food. Also, the alcohol % of beer when you buy it at, say, a convenience store, is lower than normal.
  20. He was our best overall option for shortstop and still is. That's on the front offices not Molitor.
  21. Sorry, my question was a sarcastic rhetorical one. Thanks though, cause yeah. That's exactly why. You should see some of the laws here in Utah concerning alcohol. Oh boy.
  22. And what would be the reasoning behind not being able to buy alcohol at certain times (especially Sundays)?
  23. i loved the killing
  24. Most fantasy baseball leagues put little to no value on defense (besides maybe errors).
