    All good things for Lehmann to avoid I suppose.

    My only fear with Lehmann is he goes down the Gabe Kapler path. Kapler was very clearly very intelligent, but failed to make it work as manager in Philly. Then he seemed to figure it out in SF for a while, before losing the clubhouse again. Now he's in the Marlins FO where he isn't tasked with...

    Very likely. Now we have to hope he doesn’t go overboard with the nerd stuff and lose the players.

    Ageism aside, Butera managed 4 seasons in the Rays minor league system, and 2 years leading player development for a team that excels at developing players. While I would want to see more MLB experience, he will definitely bring new ideas to that franchise. Much better hire than the Twins...

    I don't know much about the Dodgers BP, but it certainly seems like Roberts has been extending his SPs too much.

    Twins just hired some former pirates manager who guided that powerhouse to several losing seasons. I trust AA will do better.

    I don’t know how intelligent he is outside of baseball. And I don’t care. He might be solving cold fusion containment as we speak. Again, I don’t care. I do know he has a horrid baseball IQ, as evidenced over and over and over by his on field actions. So yes, in terms of baseball, he is an...

    Find all the other Latin stars who have had each knee rebuilt within the last few years, and then note how many of them are playing winter ball. There is no defending this. Acuna is a moron, and the Braves seem unable to rein him in.

    Acuna is perhaps the dumbest star player since Manny. It's up to the adults to protect him from that stupidity. That means barring him from playing winter ball where he will be allowed to play the OF and run the bases as recklessly as he wants on 2 rebuilt knees. If the MLBPA gets upset deal...

    Ohtani is very clearly tiring as he tops 60 pitches. Roberts better be ready to make a move. He really dialed things back up vs Vlad though.

    Nobody has ever accused Acuna of being a smart baseball player.
