Anderson was nothing special before he got hurt. If anything the TJ surgery gave him more rope. If he'd stayed healthy he'd probably have been DFAd before now. His stuff has always been poor. He benefited early from a weird arm slot but once the league figured that out he had nothing. The...

The MLB community isn't all that big. Guys form relationships and talk. An umprie isn't going to be the most plugged in person but he will probably hear rumors like anyone else in the business will. They might even be especially plugged into a certain team if they've made friends with someone in...

This makes me wonder if someone tinkered with Waldrep's delivery or grip or something that negatively impacted his splitter. Because you're right the Braves almost certainly had data on his pitches. It makes more sense to me that the data was better pre-draft and something changed after. I...

I was unaware there was an ACL in the penis.

Yeah, I can't imagine the players association or MLB is very happy with the abuse of deferred money.

Compare Bagwell to David Ortiz. Both were suspected of steroid use but with zero real evidence. Neither brought much defensive value. But Bagwell had 30 more WAR. Why was Ortiz a first ballot and it took Bagwell years? The answer is simple, Ortiz played for the Red Sox and Bagwell played for...

Looks like Baseball Reference still has him listed as with Boras. Probably why a lot of articles about Profar this off-season have said he's a Board client.

Then there are some very inaccurate articles floating around. Still holds true. Who knows when we offered. Could have been weeks ago and the agent drew it out.

I don't know if us waiting until now was AAs choice or not. Boras is notorious for having his clients try to wait out the market. It wouldn't shock me if he had an offer from the Braves in early December.

Yeah, I don't think Bagwell has ever been publicly tied to PEDs. Only baseless speculation everyone playing at that time is subject to.

It took Bagwell 7 tries. Career WAR over 80. Edgar Martinez took 4 years. Had a career WAR of 1 less than Sabathia. The writers usually get no doubters right but theyre inconsistent with the WAR in the 60s.

Don't get me wrong, I think Sabathia deserves to be in the hall and have no problem with him being a first ballot. I just have far less faith in the voters not to overlook a guy who toiled away in a small market. They've repeatedly proven they'll do just that.

100%. Sabathia getting in first ballot had everything to do with his time with the Yankees. If he stays in Cleveland his whole career, he'd take a decade to make it in if at all.

The Dodgers doing what they're doing make me less interested in baseball. I'd bet others feel the same way.

The Tiktok law was a bluff. I doubt anyone expected it to reach this point. It was an attempt to get TikTok to sell. I don't see Bytedance refusing to sell as proof they're up to something nefarious. I think they're just calling the US's bluff. So far they seem to be right. Biden has said he...

The court allowed the government to ban an entire medium of speech and only applied intermediate scrutiny. It would be like the government banning the use of printing presses or megaphones and only applying intermediate scrutiny. The court reasoned the restriction wasn't content based because...

I just read the SCOTUS decision on TikTok, it's absolutely pathetic and they know it. In the first section they essentially strip the decision of any precedential value by insisting that this decision "must be understood to be narrowly focused". This is a dead giveaway that the court knows its...

Derrick Henry isnt human.

Yeah, it just goes to show he's not the offensive genius he was heralded to be. Falcons were totally right to move on from him.

Artie's offense looking like it did with Atlanta.
