I don't think it makes sense from an on field results standpoint. What makes it more interesting is his player popularity and what that is worth in team revenue.

Maxwell is an OINO (Outfielder In Name Only)

Furball looks to be a revelation in the Trops’ rotation.

How/if Sanz grows into his full offensive potential feels relevant to the equation too.

Ramos seems like a longshot at this point. He’s a B- if he develops.

Let’s work backwards. What control would he need to have to be an 80? 5? 6? Then walk it back. He feels like more of a 50 to me. The walks will limit his ability to throw clean innings and keep his pitch count under control. To cover innings. Having said that, exactly the kind of guy you want to tur...

Here’s one of John’s old lists.

Interesting to see a few guys get votes. That difference in player eval is the best thing about an online league. Having 6 HRA is the single most important threshold for me.

I like Voodoo a lot. He’s a good lookin young ball player. I’m certainly not saying I’m right and you’re wrong. It’s open to interpretation and I think we’d rank the players in the same order. I’m channeling John Sickels with my grading scale. Did you ever used to read him? His interpretation was ev...

I feel like yer luck with corner outfielders is nearing Long Beach pitcher water territory. You’ll probably need a new left fielder next year. I’d have every player down a half letter grade but that just seems like our difference in interpretation at this point. If you offered me a player with Munta...

Seems like a fair assessment.

For sure.

Too high of a grade for Zavala who looks like a longshot develop and is about to run out of options.

Zamora is no C. He looks unlikely to even reach the BBA. Even with the minor league production.

5/25/2065 San Fernando picked up Aggur Lugono from the organization formerly known as the Omaha Cyclones in December 2062's rule 5 draft. In his age 23 and 24 seasons, Lugono gave the Bears a weapon against left-handed pitching, swatting 35 home runs in 518 ABs over two seasons as a role player. He'...

5/25/2065 Closer Mario Santos recently missed two weeks with a herniated disc in his back. Unfortunately, scouts downgraded his stuff from 7 to 6 while he was out. Santos carries an ugly 6.27 ERA to go with 6 saves but we're optimistic about his K/BB ratio. He'll be back to closing out games for the...

5/25/2065 On April 22nd, DH John Lazar pulled up lame heading into second base after doubling in the eight inning. Lazar had a hamstring strain that would keep him out of commission for six weeks. After pinch running, Gullermo Leon came around to score the Bears' third run on their way to a 4-0 vict...

5/25/2065 I made it known to Mexico City that they should give me first dibs before they return rule 5 pick reliever Carlos Nunez . I've been trying to creatively acquire southpaws for my bullpen ever since the free agent class was underwhelming in that area. On the morning of Opening Day, Brandon l...

Jason steward is having a monster year with the glove.

I was reviewing team stats earlier and noticed you've surpassed me as the worst baserunning team in the BBA!

Maybe low on financial ambition, but certainly high on "stick it to the man."

He's using that media savvy.
