eligrba reacted to Chuck in Thaiss for Seager?
The only deal I can see us making with Seattle is a low-A or B prospect for Leake.

Dipoto would give us Seager for free if we asked.
Hard pass..

I think there's less risk on the FA market than giving Seager 13m per for 3 years and having to give up a prospect to boot.

yeah, ok, Buster.
He tweeted that at 7:02am, which means other teams were telling him that at, what, 6:00am?
"from other teams" = "I made this shit up"

eligrba got a reaction from Angel Oracle in Pitching Injuries
I think the following contributes to the increased pitching injuries:
1. More athletes maximizing their physical abilities through improved understanding about nutrition and strength training (Today's hitters and pitchers are better athletes than at anytime in MLB)
2. Preference for power arms (Maximum effort with every pitch)
3. Using data about spin rates instead of game-outcomes to monitor developmental progress (Maximum spin=maximum torque)
4. Reducing the role of the pitcher to getting outs instead of innings (Maximum effort with maximum spin being thrown by athletes who have maximized their physical capabilities)
All of those items repeated over time reveals the limitations of a human body.
The adjustment for reducing such injuries will not be found in bio mechanics or physical conditioning but in how the game is played. The pendulum has swung to its furthest point and therefore must swing back to deception, disruption of timing, changing speeds and pitch location. The swing and miss era will eventually come to an end because of the physical costs to the pitchers.

We should just consider Albert's salary as a luxury tax on the Angels.
