Ensuring that a decade from now dumbasses who don't understand present value and interest and shit like that can say "Why are the Mets still paying this guy a million bucks?!?"...
Just watched it and I swear every angle they show on that play where Don Beebe knocks the ball out of Leon Lett's hand looks like he had already crossed the goal line.

never heard of the guy but it sounds like they have his whole career planned out

Something Something, buy a championship, blah blah Big market teams yada yada baseball is ruined
How did this guy put up such amazing OBP with seemingly limited power and speed? Usually you have to have one of those two things. He was like an early Wade Boggs prototype.

Who gets this guy? 24 years old, not even necessarily in his prime yet. Can you imagine him in Yankee stadium with the short porch in right?

Also Michael Jordan could have been a hall of famer in multiple sports. Oh wait, no he couldn't
My first question was "who?". After checking out his stats, he was really good in 104 ABs last year and his minor league stats look great but it seems like they could have let him play at least half a season before throwing that kind of loot his way...
I guess that's one benefit of the continuing extension of the football season. Once we get to 20 game seasons we could have a seamless transition from Superbowl to regular season MLB.

When they interview him for this he should just deliver what would have been his hall of fame induction speech and be done with it. Don't even tell people what he's doing, just start thanking Sparky Anderson, his mom, the...
Teoscar Hernandez to the Mariners for Erik Swanson and Adam Macko.

Hernandez is under "team control" this season but somehow he made over 10 million last season.
As it stands now, one of the teams from the mighty NFC East would have to go on the road to face a mediocre Tampa team. How can they let this happen? Disgraceful.
Here's a weird stat. Realmuto needs 4 homers and 3 stolen bases to join the 20/20 club. I think he would be the first catcher ever to do that. Fisk got the homeruns but topped out at 17 sbs. Jason Kendall had some 20+ SB seasons but never got the 20 homers. Biggio was a catcher but as a...
I'll start it off
Fred Dryer - from small roles on CHiPs and numerous appearances on Cheers to a very long run on Hunter. A true professional.
OJ Simpson - displayed good range with roles in classic comedies like Naked Gun to more dramatic roles like Capricorn one and a small part on Roots...

Pros: You don't have to go to a drug store and get the ballot in the Gillette razor section.
Cons: To submit it you have to fill out some form with your name and email and stuff.
That was one of the more interesting bench clearing "brawls" or whatever you want to call it. In a minor league hockey move, the Angels brought in an "opener" to throw at the Mariners guy. That's what it looked like anyway. I'm sure after the game the manager will assure everyone that the...
