  1. So, they will spend probably over $1 billion to provide shade on 100 degree nights? I’m not a fan of enclosed ballparks, but this design makes no sense given the location.
  2. I’m good with standing pat at this point. At least we would have a direction and hopefully we will stop making short term moves (unless it’s offloading relievers at the trade deadline).
  3. I actually thought Urshela was really playing well before his injury. Maybe we could pull an Eppler, sign him, and immediately put him on the IL.
  4. I wonder if he still tips pitches to fellow Dominican players on opposing teams…
  5. Sorry to interrupt the football bashing, but 9 players that make the MLB from a team’s draft year doesn’t sound bad to me. However, I don’t have the context say good or bad but there were years in the early 10’s that seemed like we purposely drafted players with no talent or athleticism.
  6. I’m sure someone else probably mentioned this, but anyone else get the feeling that Arte is trying to recoup the salary tax paid last year by limiting spending this year?
  7. I don’t remember anyone saying Baldoquin was ready for anything. I saw him play against Visalia and it was clear he didn’t have the skills and/or the athleticism. DiPoto is the only guy that thought he was all that and a bag of chips.
  8. Agree 100%. I would rather look at 2024 as a developmental year instead of pretending that Snell and Bellinger make us a WC contender.
  9. I don’t have the data to back this up, but I’ve read that the splitter is hard on the elbow and leads to more arm injuries. Ohtani throws the splitter, as does Yamamoto. Not sure if it’s used extensively by all pitchers in Japan.
  10. Agree. He was starting to play pretty well before the injury (at the very least I thought this was a loss of a good player).
  11. MLB really needs to close the loophole. I think if you told the union that all the luxury tax penalty money would go evenly to all teams that didn’t incur the tax and only used for player salaries that they would be fine with that.
  12. I’m surprised that Bobby Valentine said this. He and Minasian are pretty close so I’m sure Arte will have some questions for Perry. It also could be Valentine trying to be sure to get the narrative out that his good friend had a plan but it was vetoed by Arte.
