Ha I had this thought last night. It's a sad state of affairs at UT if these are the 50 year olds that resulted from what they were teaching in '97.
I know I definitely prefer trying to win in 2032 over trying to win this year. So much more fun.
Yeah, this seems totally healthy.
All of this with a clubhouse full of players grumbling over playing time? :p
I would think with a cap, they'd have to phase it in over several years. So if the ultimate goal is 140/260, maybe you start with 100/300, then go...
Older, certainly. I'm not sure they have less depth. On the infield, they lost versatility in Dubon but added Correa. In the outfield, they have...
My hypothetical was him being injured late in the season. If so, I believe he'd have met the innings threshold that increase the value of each...
Absolutely - though the Imai contract has the chance to be a truly epic disaster also. If he does well, it's just a one year deal. If he does...
The problem is leverage. The two sides can certainly talk. But both sides want to squeeze the other, and the threat of losing games is what they...
I think the better question to ask is you would prefer: 1. Baseball paper over its problems and come up with an extension or minor tweaks to...
I think he was originally supposed to miss a few weeks in August, and now here we are with the same timeline in February. I would be skeptical...
I think this is a key part of all of this. When you have Altuve, Bregman, Correa, and Springer in their primes, and a still deep pipeline of...
Cole is presumably in the mix over Dezenzo or Loperfido, I would think.
Shorter cheaper contracts really can't be "oops" because you just ignore them and move on. And Walker and Abreu were 3 year deals which is pretty...
There's an extra year there: 2019: Redshirt at San Fran 2020: Covid-Cancelled Season at San Fran 2021: Played JUCO at Diablo Valley - started...
Of course it won't - I don't think anyone with or around the Astros is expecting this team to be a 100-105 win type team. The goal is simply to be...
How many games this season do you expect the Astros to not have anyone hurt and not have anyone resting? Those are the only games this impacts....
Why? All prospects involve hope. The only way to build a team without relying on hope is having the Dodgers' payroll. At one point, Framber,...
Honestly, from what I gather of your posts as whole, you come up with a lot of wild hypotheticals about how you think people will feel and what...
What set of rules the Dodgers operating under that the Mets and other teams are not?
