MLB announced that Taylor Teagarden, who if you remember was one of the guys cited for alleged drug use in that Al Jazeera report which also named Ryan Howard and Ryan Zimmerman, just got suspended for 80 games for some kind of PED. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/b...NSports+Twitter

Goodpancakes posted:The Twins need a loving miracle to bring my ridiculous prediction of Cubs / Twins WS to reality. I think it's hilarious that the Twins didn't even make a Wild Card spot on that ESPN list. I was cautiously optimistic last year; I'm more optimistic and less cautious this year. As always, it depends on pitching, but we'll see. If they can get to the playoffs then it's a crapshoot, just like their other wins have been.

Kevin Pillar just hit a dinger off Steven Wright at Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Buck told the ball to get up, and it did.

the popes toes posted:Your doubt is well placed. I don't think the Union represents the MiLB. Also, baseball money is for veterans goddamnit. They don't and unless they've had MLB time they make as little as $5000 a season down in single-A. Some guys get decent signing bonuses, but if you're a minor league lifer you're better off flipping burgers or working at Walmart.

That was a really weird play to break your elbow on... I guess they are going to see really quick if Chris Owings can play center, this is going to be his first start there at any professional level and he filled in last night after Pollock went out.

FlamingLiberal posted:We saw this with how the players folded on a lot of the drug testing issues. Fehr stood firm, whereas now you had the union basically turning their back on one member (A-Rod), which is not what you are supposed to do even if you disagree with the guy. Fehr never would have let the QO bullshit happen, either. That was a case of Weiner selling out younger, mid-tier players in favor of the stars. Marvin Miller probably spun in his grave when the union rolled over on that.

hifi posted:That was a really weird play to break your elbow on... They gave him a few innings in center, but there's no reason for the starting job to be anyone but Socrates Brito's for now. Brito just has trouble with left handed pitching, and they want to find someone to be a good platoon. Owings is somewhat of the odd man out from the middle infield glut. Might see Peter O'Brien get a roster spot out of this as well.

The Braves released Michael Bourn....they are now paying $29 mil to two guys who aren't on the team (other is Swisher). I know they got some money from Cleveland last year for them but that's still a lot of dead money.

I just want to say that baseball owns and I'm so happy my team is good again. Oh also the Rangers are dumb and bad and also the Angels. The Mariners and Athletics are...fine I guess. I still don't feel strongly about either of them despite now having been in the AL West for a few years.

Marvin Miller probably spun in his grave when the union rolled over on that. With more than a few players grumbling openly about the process (Thanks again Orioles!) and a few QOs getting accepted this year to avoid getting Drewed I wonder if this will be the hill the union actually decides to fight on this winter. It's a total screw job for mid-tier free agents so I guess it's working as intended as far as the owners go, they're going to sought hard to keep players protecting them from themselves. As was said the union doesn't give a poo poo about non-members so things like minor league working conditions and (if they can figure out somewhat realistic logistics) an international draft are no brainier gimmes, but would Tony Clark and Co. really give on those in favor of something stupid like a 26th roster slot? That said I'm totally fine with the status quo as long as there's a clause banning the Cardinals from getting any more competitive balance picks.
