Adam Jones had a Detroit Lions jersey hanging in his locker
|
Adam Jones is a nice guy. Held a free baseball camp here in San Diego at his old high school.
|
I got 30 packs of last years baseball cards free. I got a Darren Oday card and Ubaldo. Also got mark Trumbo in a mariners jersey and Wade Miley in a Sox jersey. Also got Yordano Ventura and Jose Fernadez. I got like 10 giveaway t-shirts a media guide and year book a bobble head a Shorebirds cup a MD Flag Os hat and Os winter beanie hat.

Apparently Hall of Famer Frank Thomas is upset this year's Hall of Fame class has members with allegations of PED use. Said the voters might as well no longer pretend to be against the Roid era or certain people from it if they don't have a problem voting for others with similar allegations.

Writers don't really have a leg to stand on here. They made their money reporting on the increased popularity of baseball and did very little to investigate allegations. Could have done more to get names and discredit people quicker than they were. They made their money and now they have to vote on the people they put on a PED-estal.

Frank Thomas laying down a verbal big hurt
|
For all we know, Thomas could've been on PEDs. I don't buy into the notion that they wouldn't be good if they didn't take them. Barry Bonds was pretty amazing before he got juiced.
And accusing guys like Bagwell, who had ZERO suspicion until after his career is a bit ridiculous. |
well his known as one of the biggest assholes in the game.
|
I missed his interview at Fan fest but Chris Davis revealed he dislocated his left thumb back in April and played the whole season just about with it and still hit 38 HR
|
Judgement came down to the Cardinals from the Astros Hacking Scandal.
St. Louis gotta pay Houston $2 million dollars, and give up their top 2 picks (56 & 75) for the upcoming 2017 draft. Former Cardinals scouting director Chris Correa has been put on the permanently ineligible list. He's banned from baseball for the time being. |

Christ. Seems a bit overkill, but I guess when you're the first you have to set a precedent.
And just because someone has not been linked to PED's from that era, doesn't mean they didn't do them. I'm of the mindset that if a handful of people were taking them, essentially everyone was. |
Pretty sure Frank Thomas took a shitload of drug test to ensure he was never accused of using steroids. Remember White Sox in general doing a lot of extra testing for awhile too for the entire team.

Too bad neither are happening in Baltimore. Machado is gonna be free agent # 1A when he hits the market. He'll cost more than Davis, maybe close to or as much as Harper. Highly, highly doubt he stays.

I need to make some kind of bet with you guys on this but its not going to pay off for 2 years. He's not going anywhere
|
I'm taking the Yankees now!
|
He sure is. Guys don't stick with their teams like before. There's big money and Machado isn't gonna give a team discount. It's HIGHLY unlikely he stays.
|
No
|
Acceptance is the first step to recovery
|
Then you accept that he's not going anywhere
They might get rid of everybody else but Manny Machado will continue to play for the Orioles well beyond the year 2018. |
Lol what are you gonna say when he leaves
|
He's not going anywhere
|
Who's playing third for the Yankee's right now? Gonna have to move him to another team.
|
Headley. Think his deal is done by the time Machado hits free agency

No Dale. As Droford outlined, Baltimore will offer and Manny will accept a 3 yr discount before getting into big money just do he can stay in Baltimore and be a good guy.
|
Very consistent with a player represented by Scott Boras.
|
We all know Scott Boras is all about putting his players' teams first
|
lmao fuck I didn't know Boras was his agent. Droford you're an idiot
|
C'mon Dale. We all know good guy Scott Boras will work his tail off to make sure Manny and Baltimore strike a deal that will be fair and favorable to both sides, and will even give them a hometown discount.
I mean, look at how he got the owners to outbid themselves on Crushed Davis last year. That deal looks great for Baltimore right now. Imagine where they'd be if they didn't up their offer that no other team was matching? I shudder to think. |
Sanchez has Scott Boras as his agent now. Not overly thrilled about that. But more credit to Sanchez, gotta pay them gimmicks that come in the mail called bills.
|
Twins DFA Byung Ho Park.
Signed this guy from South Korea and paid $12.85 million for negotiation rights, and gave him a 4-year $12 million contract. Kei Igawa all over again. |
Orioles should sign him. Must have some sort of power to hit 105 hr in Korea 2014/15
|
Mets finally get some relievers! Fernando Salas and Jerry Blevins are both back on 1 year deals, and Blevins' deal contains a 2018 option.
|
Korean baseball is a notoriously hitter friendly league. Maybe Park has some pop, but Baltimore already has 2 1b/dh only hitters.
