MLB OFFSEASON 2019-2000 - Page 6 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Is there merit to the argument that since the unanimous seal has been broken, anyone that you can look at and say "obviously they should be in the hall and there's no real argument against them" should be unanimous? I could never stand the whole "well, they should get in but I can't vote for them until next year for reasons" argument so many writers put out.

Also, Bonds not being in yet still means the whole thing is a joke.

The post is about Andruw, not Jeter

War surely underrates Andruw's defense anyway

The point is just to put some number on it for discussion and to just see where we are at

I remember one of the main arguments of trading Torres was because Addison Russell was blocking him at SS and calling it out as BS.

I know doesn't matter rang.

After thinking about it more, I didn't like him other than not getting married until he retired and he was a **** SS, but he was the most famous player in the game for a good stretch. Dude hosted SNL. There is no reason not to put him in first ballot unanimously.

I don't know some of the names, but I'm assuming they are relievers who may hit their peak soon. Big names like Moose and Yasmani aren't that easy to replace. Reds>Brew next year.

Tigers dominating this off season yet again. Playing chess while everyone else plays checkers.

We’re not gonna do a damn thing to improve, and lock up the #1 pick in 2021 as well.

2018- 1st
2019- 5th
2020- 1st
2021- tbd, prob 1st

We are setting up a dynasty that will not be matched. A 3-headed monster at the top of the rotation of Mize, Manning, Skubal....

Don’t get me started if we take Hancock 1st overall. They might have to break up our pitching prospects, just too good to be allowed.

White Sox are way ahead of Tigers for years to come.

Sox won't peak for a few more years, not in the next 2. Don't care, tigers and Wsox won't compete for an ALCS.

Yeah, they've got some good young players but they're not cheating at a championship level.

Hey guys im unbanned for one posr. I think the astros are gonna go down hard. Real hard. Rip.

At the same time, the Angels made their big play for 2020. Some dude who couldnt pitch in the national league but he will be great in the AL I'm told. I have my doubts.

Never forget what the Astros did though. Not since 1919 have we seen this. Death penalties abound and warranted and justified. Catch you all 4 weeks from now.
