N: Mike Trout got a company to build a smart bat. Or a thing that fits into bats with cut-outs at the end that makes the bat "smart", anyway. http://www.halosheaven.com/2016/2/29/11133690/mike-trouts-new-smart-bat-is-going-to-impact-baseball-in-a-big-way V: They went through all that and it doesn't gather any weather readings at all. How disappointing to Mike Trout...

I wonder if they'r deliveries are just too different from what he's used to seeing and so he can't really rely on his own experience in this situation. It's not that he hasn't seen pitchers from Asia, just that he doesn't watch them all the time the way the scouts who led the Dodgers to sign them do.

My first instinct is to always say Yankees but they already have a bad switch-hitting third baseman and he'd have to get in line to play first. And it's not a buffet line.

You have to remember it's just one company so one person ordering 3 jerseys from them or someone who has multiple retail stores in the state and happens to order multiples of the same jersey just because they ran out last year would tilt the whole list.

Throwing a perfect game is not a benchmark for the hall of fame. Lots of pitchers who have done it are in the Hall but so did Mike Witt (who was kind of good), Phil Humber, Dallas Braden and Tom Browning.

Retail Slave posted:What the gently caress is wrong with Soler this spring? Well, he's making a lot of mental errors but he started swinging at a lot of bad pitches during the regular season and he needs to curtail it. That was surprising as I thought his reputation was for having a good feel for the strike zone but, obviously, results and opposing scouting departments feel differently.

Popete posted:Whaaaaat? But he had a 1.042 OPS this ST. I didn't understand it either until I saw this on Bleacher Nation quote:Because players who’ve signed minor league deals, but have at least six years service time, must be paid a $100,000 roster bonus and given a June 1 opt-out at the end of Spring Training, you often see such players “released” from those contracts and then re-signed to contracts soon thereafter, with slightly different terms. You also sometimes see other players on minor league deals “released” and then re-signed, because, for whatever reason, their contract had some special terms in them that the team now would like to renegotiate.

If a professional baseball player retires and buys a team, I can almost guarantee it would be in Southern Caliornia or Florida. Who the gently caress wants to spend Aprils and Octobers of their retirement years with a cold weather baseball team?

bawfuls posted:MLB players, even ARod, don't have the net worth let alone liquid capital to buy an MLB team outright. BReff lists ARod's career earnings at $378M, and that is of course before taxes and whatever he's spent. Forbes values the Rays at $650M. I think the only way Magic had enough money to buy-in to the Dodgers was because of his chain or fast food restaurants and other investments? I mean ARod could do the Magic thing. His career earnings are way more but who knows if he's making as much as Magic did off other investments (and Magic got to invest his money into the magical money tree called "the late 90s" while whatever ARod has been investing in has probably been the same money pit most people have dealt with).
