  1. The names of Munson, Bench, and Dempsey come to mind, but that was a long time ago.
  2. I've been a fan of both my entire life. Always have been, always will be. That said, the rivalry is real and both sides can feel very strongly.
  3. If the season started today, Ohtani, Trout, and Rendon would all be healthy so I said playoff contender. Let's see how long that lasts.
  4. To me, the definition of "breakout player" would include something about unexpected. If a young player had a good 2021 it's not unexpected for them to have a better 2022. I'll go with Rengifo and Detmers.
  5. Hopefully this will be a better outing than his first start.
  6. Maybe the Dodgers will turn him into another Heaney?
  7. "Confident" is the qualifier here. If they stay healthy, they have a good chance of making the playoffs under the current format. I'm not confident they stay healthy, so I went with >2/3.
  8. I'm a chemist. Questioning science is how science works.
  9. Indeed! These traits can take a marginal prospect and turn them into a decent Major Leaguer. Thank you for answering my question without snark.
  10. Hmmm. Rada's average speed suggests he will not stick in Center, so he is essentially a slap-hitting corner outfielder, while de Jesus is an out-of-shape 18-year-old who some scouts think may be able to hit live pitching. Am I reading you right?
  11. Their continual budget situation is why they don't have a lot of drafted players. When their drafted players turn out good, they can't afford to keep them so they are traded for good young talent.
  12. This is the first argument I've read that makes me think Maddon may be a bad manager. Regardless of who is behind this, Maddon is the manager, and he should have put a stop to this nonsense a long time ago.
  13. I punched a dude that was acting like a vagina. Does that count?
  14. I'm not aware of any plausible arguments that place Ruiz above Rutschman, but I get your point. This is who I would like to see us target, but we have nothing to offer of equivalent value.
  15. Hey, the only battle we won was after the war was over and was with the help of pirates, and yet we won the war. I think that's pretty cool.
  16. '27 and '28 Ruth and Gehrig combined for about 45 WAR. Two seasons. I'll take it.
