    Let me be clear. Duran is SOFT. If you've made it to the pinnacle of your profession, one that pays you millions of dollars to play a game and you can't handle something some lowlife in the stands says, then your probably not going to make it. Mental toughness is something that this younger generation lacks and this is a perfect example. Coddled babies. Again, I wouldn't say it (unless maybe its game 7 of the world series and i'm 6 tallboys deep) but if mean words make you fall apart, then you cooked.

    Its not right...I wouldn't say it. BUT... god these guys are soft. Oh...a fan said something nasty to you? If that's the worst thing you have to deal with as a professional athlete, then your probably doing fine. Heckling is part of the game and it always has been. Do people cross the line sometimes? Of course. Does he need thicker skin? YES. they used to throw hot pennies at outfielders in new york.

    as someone mentioned...anybody in the top 12 of the starting pitching depth chart are probably going to get plenty of innings.

    did he not sign your baseball card?

    I don't see what the fuss is about. This is clearly an upgrade. Great hire.

    Its really easy at this point to play the "woe is us card" but...do they REALLY need scouts to go watch other MLB teams in person? The article on the athletic says that most teams are doing away with this and just using video. With all the data that is out there for these guys, it really does seem pointless to send somebody in person to scout games.

    Jenkins really has nothing left to prove.

    Players are human but at the same time, there is nobody at triple A who can say they belong on the big club because of their results. All of them are there for a reason...nobody down there is forcing the front offices hand.

    I was bummed to see they aren't selling, But, what if... It works out? If they have 425M in debt, my guess is the new "partners" are bringing in enough money to offset that amount or more. I think they do know and understand that a winning team puts people in the seats which drives revenue, which drives value. With the debt cleared, my bet is that they spend on free agents. Do I think they'll go crazy? No. Do I think they will spend a reasonable amount to make the team competitive....yes. They have before and I think they'll do it again.
