Put down the phone. Drive safely.

Adell could help the team be a playoff contender for a decade. The pitcher we would get for him , would likely help the team for probably  half a decade or possibly less. So no on Adell being traded. Same for Marsh. Anyone else in the organization, ok.

No. But I also would have said that about Brandon Wood in 2006. 

An Adell trade strikes me as a trade to regret , regardless of the return.  I think the Angels have other promising prospects that would work when trading for a pitcher.

Nope!

Wife beater, pass

Me neither but he sucks as a pitcher.

And we're off!!

Give 'em Pujols. They owe us for Vernon Wells.

How about a historical look at the free agent pitching market over the past 10 years and where some of those players stack up relative to some of those hitting the market this winter.  The challenge is trying to equate previous markets to current but let's give it a shot.

Great! now we have enough money to sign Gerrit for 3, 4 weeks! 

1: Sign SP Gerrit Cole - 7/$245m - back-loaded, 2020 salary at $25m 2. Sign C Jason Castro (or a non-tendered Mike Zunino) - 2/$12m 3. Trade RP Cam Bedrosian ($3m) and SP Andrew Heaney ($5m) to Chicago for SP Jose Quintana ($11.5m) - adds $3.5m 4. Sign IF Mike Moustakas - 2/$22m 5. Sign LHP Cole Hamels - 1/$10m 6. Extend SS Andrelton Simmons - 4/$40m, saving $5m from '20 payroll, as it renegotiates his '20 salary. Or, call it 5/$50m if you feel adding three years is too short. 7. Sign RHP Brandon Kintzler - 1/$5m 8. Trade 2B/OF Jahmai Jones and IF/OF Taylor Ward to Miami for RHP Elieser Hernandez   

Super into this!

I think Ausmus is a scapegoat for 2019 and he never got a fair shot with the awful pitching staff he was given. If this means we get Maddon back though, I am totally for it. If we get another Ausmus type, it's a very odd move.

Sucks how bad we missed in FA's this year.

I kind of doubt it, but don't know for sure.  It's a pretty simple design though.  I'm sure any patch shop could recreate it for you.
 
 

This post actually made me feel better, Bravo.

No. Its all related. But the tests (all included in an autopsy) only show what made your heart stop beating. Almost like a diagnostic. 
If a person intentionally caused their death by taking drugs, the only way you would know would be because they told someone before hand, or something that really stuck out. Like taking an entire bottle of meds. 
An accidental overdose looks the same as an intentional one in an autopsy.
Not to get too brutal, but accidentally shooting yourself cleaning a gun looks like a suicide gunshot. Jumping off a tall building and falling off one look the same, etc.
An autopsy more or less will show drugs in the system. Poison. A previously unknown disease, etc 

This, and more humor, is needed at a time like this.

One of the many tributes popping up, I thought this one was really heartfelt

Everyone chill the F*ck out with the speculation. 

Former Texas cop here...
If the ME can not determine cause of death at the scene, an autopsy will be done at the county ME office. If the ME is able to determine cause of death, an autopsy can still be done, but it has to be at the family’s request. 
 
Either way, the ME’s office will transport the body to county until the family flies out and takes custody of the body. 
 
ME= medical examiner

Such a class act....Our family will keep you the Skaggs family on our thoughts and prayers.
