  1. How short of a leash do you have with Ingram? Brandel graded out pretty well this preseason, especially with pass blocking. I’m hoping/wondering if Brandel is a Joe Berger type. My god, it’s sad I have to reference him as the last pretty good guard we’ve had.
  2. Rob Manfred and Co. are praying this is an outlier event. If not, like you said, this will continued to be (ab)used as a way to manage expiring assets. Do you proactively patch this loophole in the offseason? Or wait for something dramatic like this happening again?
  3. I like this OL signing. He’s graded out fairly well on PFF in his career. Better pass blocker than run blocker. Good O’Niell insurance.
  4. Matt Moore is my top choice. And I’m sure it’s 29 other teams’ top choice. Everyone can use an effective lefty in the pen. I’d place claims on all 3 relievers and pass on the OF players.
  5. That is a good point. The Cardinals GM already stated on record he’s looking for 3 starting pitchers this winter. They could use their bad record to claim Giolito and buy an exclusive negotiation window after the season.
  6. Health. He’s taken time off the last few years due to that. He’s been indicating this in his press conferences. Ken Rosenthal wrote a piece about him not being a “retirement tour” guy. Gleeman spoke about it on a recent podcast that it’s kind of expected now.
  7. Is no one saying the quiet part out loud yet? This is very likely Francona’s last season managing.
  8. That was a vintage in his prime Torii Hunter diving catch.
  9. Can you, just as legal mumbo jumbo, say you guarantee I’ll get $200 when the Twins win the World Series?
  10. The pitchers will be instant claims. We will likely have the opportunity to claim one or both of Grichuk and Renfroe. They don’t look like upgrades to me, but I’ll let Falvey be the judge. On a side note, it only took one month for all of their good publicity of going all in to disintegrate. Ohtani should sit the rest of the season as well since they gave up.
  11. Maybe the RH outfielders Renfroe and Grichuk. But frankly they’re not that much better than Luplow.
  12. One month later… I’ll take Moore, Lopez, and Giolito. Thanks Angels!
  13. I’ve got to imagine Kwesi is on the lookout for any veteran CB to sign. I would seek out a better RB than Kene. Reagor and Powell both making the roster is not what I expected.
  14. We made it! Here is the initial 53 man roster. The lack of OL and DL depth terrifies me. I don’t like the balance of this roster at the moment. 6 safeties is way too many.
  15. Walk off walk! Lol my goodness.
  16. Let’s end this thing! Come on MAT!
  17. We might need Balazovic and Sands to pitch 2 innings a piece tomorrow. Bullpen is fried.
  18. I got 13k steps just at the fair. It’s the only way I am justifying eating what I did today.
  19. Not at places with food on a stick. Too many things too few hands!
  20. I don’t know why people want to try getting that close with their own vehicles! I parked at a place with a shuttle and it was a breeze getting in and out.
  21. Longest I waited was 10 min at the original pronto pup stand. I didn’t bother getting Martha’s cookies or fries because those lines were insane. If you wanted to drink beer there, you might as well order 2 then get back in line.
  22. I am fat and happy on state fair food. Hope everyone has been out enjoying this great late summer day!
  23. Dominant win for the good guys. Correa is heating up alongside our rookies Wallner and Julien!
  24. Rumor has it, Duensing is still used to this day as the PTBNL in MLB trades.
