If someone is on the 60-day IL, they have to go on the 40-man over the winter and stay there until the end of spring training when they can go back on the 60-day IL.

Ynoa really looked like a solid big league pitcher in the first half of 2021, but injuries--self-inflicted and otherwise--brought that to a halt. Note to self: Punch a wall and your performance will hit a wall.

Certainly provides more flexibility. Figure about somewhere in the neighborhood of $12 MM to $14 MM no longer committed.

I didn't realize that New Orleans no longer has a AAA team. Baby Cakes is one of the greatest baseball team names ever.

Doesn't the NBA count as a major sports league? It would seem you have two professional teams.

With J.P. Martinez and Luis Liberato now minor league free agents, someone like Rodriguez makes some sense. Rodriguez is younger than those two and looks to have good minor league K/BB numbers. He's played a lot of CF, so that's a plus. I saw Eli White play in person last year when Gwinnett...

I thought about the Manny Ramirez comp and other than the difference in speed, it's a pretty good comparison. Manny simply did not believe in the concept of the cut-off man.

There's always going to be this fine line with Acuna. He's a physical marvel (at least pre-knee surgeries) and has an unbelievable competitive drive that makes him think he can do just about anything on the baseball field. The downside is that his uber-competitive approach strains his body and...

Me soft? Must be thinking of someone else as I've had to be a hard-ass during a lot of my professional life. My point is there is an off-topic board (which I don't visit) where guys can jerk off. You guys love living in the South. I like living in the North. There's no moral superiority in...

With expansion on the table, a Tampa Bay move would mean baseball in three new locales. I've heard Portland and Nashville mentioned as possible sites, but who else? I wonder if Tampa Bay is trying to snag one of those prime options before the expansion sites are decided.

I don't know what formula is used and I think Schwellenbach's number is on the mark. Elder could be in that ballpark. Hard to get a read on Braun, but probably too low. I think in the case of Dodd and Winans, 4 is probably runs-per-inning and not runs-per-nine.

And there was a handful of folks on this board that didn't like the deal. Curious to see what the Red Sox do with Grissom. Red Sox have a 2B prospect (Kristian Campbell) moving up pretty fast and a good spring probably puts him in the discussion as the Red Sox starting 2B in 2025. I've always...

Where I would be hesitant about Laureano is that he was pretty much in the wilderness in 2022 and 2023 and really only had a decent half-season with the Braves. His offensive profile is all batting average driven, making it difficult to depend upon. I will be fine with whatever direction the...

I care about everybody here, but the p*ssing contests get a bit tedious.

I might do okay in the Senior Division, although I've been sober for 40 years so two beers and I'd be down for the count. Could always hit the gym and not embarrass myself (but probably still lose) at arm wrestling. But if you're bringing some of that famous gas station fried chicken, I'm there!

And somehow the life expectancy in France is a decade longer than it is in Mississippi.

He passed away sometime in the last few years. I miss his musings.

What do you mean? Today (Tuesday, November 19) is the deadline for putting guys on the 40-man roster. I miss clvclv every day, but I especially miss him today. I think next to Christmas and his birthday, this is the day that was next in line on his red-letter calendar. For the record, Braves...
