The other, more pertinent, argument, to me, is the idea that MLB teams should want to set some minimum standard to develop these Minor League players, who represent the future of their respective teams, by offering physical and mental regimens to maximize mind and body. Physical trainers, nutritionists, science-based kinematics assistance, a livable wage (the thrust of this thread) so that the Minor Leaguer can devote 100% of their time to being the best baseball player they can be doesn't seem like to much of a stretch for any baseball team to provide, considering the potential payoff of

Outside of Simmons value at the Trade Deadline this year, the Angels *might* consider making him a Qualifying Offer, to keep him around one more season, in what is likely to be a rebound season for Andrelton, which could result in either a) a compensatory pick if he does perform well and signs a contract over $50M (iffy, to be honest) or b) the Angels re-signing him at a lower rate due to the QO being attached, netting him in at a likely sub-$50M total contract. The above is not out of the realm of possibility but it is probably a gamble the Angels will not take, unless they feel supremel

Cleveland was smarter than us, apparently!

If by some miracle, the Angels pulled down Gabriel Arias, I would be immensely pleased.

Read it again, IP....

I do know a bit about Theoretical Physioc's.

You are now extra projecting!

No it is a masturbation joke. You are projecting.

Surprised that damn bed hasn't gotten so brittle, it hasn't shattered spermanently.

You are here to troll and the worst part is you are doing a terrible job. You will now be the proud owner of my third block, to go along with Claude and Scotty. Or is it actually a 3rd? Hmmm.... I will never know and more importantly I truly don't give a sh*t.

Exactly! We all know OANN would never be concerned about their integrity and credibility.

Keep spouting nonsense (whomever you are since you are scared to reveal yourself, coward). Keep using hashtags that will never gain traction, LOL. I love my country, unlike yourself. Keep swimming in the deep end of the cesspool.

I find it absolutely hilarious that people get so worked up about someone expressing their free speech, exercising their Constitutional rights, and taking a knee in protest, in support of racial equality and yet they completely ignore the so-called leader of our country who has yet to say a single word regarding Russian bounties on American soldiers, millions in campaign donations funneled to that leader's businesses, and the very ill-intent to subvert American institutions and Democracy. One is infinitely greater and disrespectful than the other could ever possibly be.

I actually see him coming in, in a long extrs innings game or when we're behind by a lot. Sort of a mop up duty role.

He was already practicing at 3B, 1B, and LF. Adding C just increases his versatility and I have high hopes for his bat, the guy has murdered pitchers in the high Minors the last two seasons and I love his on-base ability. I think he can be a productive utility type at the corners (both infield and outfield) and behind the dish. Super utility guy even.
