Oh that was just hilarious.

 

[Doytch]

Isn't this something they are pushing hard for the next CBA?

Not really. Not even all the teams want it, they're not gonna push for a hard slot when it'll mean giving up something of actual value.

 

[Joey Fox]

kimbrel, its not very close between the two. The better question, kimbrel or Espinosa?

Thanks for making Espinosa hit his first home run in a month. Inspired.

The #Pirates have signed RHP Aaron Heilman to a Minor League deal; he has been assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis.

destiny!!!

Worst move baseball could ever make would be a hard slotting system. Ever.

Why?

 

[Square Triangle]

We have trouble in The D.

 

[Doytch]

Why?

Lose two-sport and elite (HS) athletes almost completely, and it would be another place where small-market teams wouldn't be able to carve out an advantage against major-market teams.

 

[Lambtron]

Not surprised Neck Fat gave up back to back homers. Revere was horrible on that inside the park homer.

 

[darkside31337]

Why?

Tons of reasons.

Biggest reasons is MLB loses out on tons of talent. Two star athletes will choose to play college football / basketball instead of baseball. This year's most notable examples were Bubba Starling and Archie Bradley. There are dozens of former MLB All Stars who would have gone the other way if there was a hard slotting in place.

Players could easily say screw it and choose to play in another league that pays way more than what a hard slotting system would, like Japan or several other leagues.

A draconian system where you are restricting pay only to prospects but not pay for big leaguers is insane. It creates an even more warped system where teams like the Yankees and Red Sox will continue to dominate.

GO FREAKING AUSTIN JACKSON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Square Triangle]

Jackson with a game ending, series sweeping winning play. I want to kiss you AJ!

 

[clemenx]

Why?

Say goodbye to high end HS talent. That's enough for me tbh.

 

[beast786]

Jackson with a game ending, series sweeping winning play. I want to kiss you AJ!

Me too. But he needs to get rid of that chewing tobacco ;p

 

[Square Triangle]

Phil Coke with the win. Lmao. God that sweep was a relief, 4.5 games up now on Cleveland.

 

[cashman]

Why are the Orioles so terrible?

 

[sangreal]

David Robertson is such a tease

 

[Lambtron]

Uno! I hope with no Delmon in 2012 that the Twins players stop hacking at the first fucking pitch all the time.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Does Robertson still have that stat not giving up a HR this season? If so thats very impressive

 

[jakncoke]

oh ffs.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

No problem, Angelols.

 

[sf2fanatic]

No problem, Angelols.

Saved Ozzie a couple of weeks and Mikey appreciates those Texas losses

 

[Lambtron]

I fucking hate the 2011 Twins, Jesus.
