Can we seriously not have a big long arguement about how offensive "throws like a girl" is or is not because holy hell is that ever not going to be any fun to read.

I didn't mean to start anything, sorry. On the topic of guys throwing the first pitch, Manziel's throwing the first pitch tomorrow. He's no Robocop, but nobody can be.

Denard Robinson barely got it halfway to the catcher, that was a good one.

Crion posted:Price should miss a start but I'm not going to sit around pretending the Rays are the main bad actors here, no matter how much Boston's pushing that Price hitting Ortiz was actually retaliation for last year or some nonsense. Workman got suspended because he threw behind a guy and up near his head. It's Price not getting a game, even though he "admitted" (in a wink and nod sort of way) that he deliberately drilled Ortiz with a 94 mph fastball, that has me grouchy. Workman getting suspended for throwing behind Longoria's back, okay fine it was dumb pay the price. Though I wish they'd announced earlier than the day before his next start. I'm sure he'll appeal though so that'll be pretty inconsequential. Edit: Wil Myers out two months with a broken wrist. RIP Rays.

Can someone please explain why the "Super Two" deadline doesn't creep later and later each year the same way that states try and gently caress with each other on voting first in a primary? As I understand Super Two, there's no "deadline," but rather a generally accepted guideline of when a rookie, if called up, wouldn't have enough service time remaining in the year to be in the top x% of rookies that year. Given that, wouldn't a bunch of teams all be reluctant to make the first promotion, since it's to their advantage to wait for all the other teams to move first? Is it just that there are enough teams with deep enough pockets/immediate competitive needs that they don't care about gaming Super Two?

Teams only care about super two status with the prospects that are supposed to be really good and make a bunch of money in arb. When the Twins called up Michael Tonkin in April they didn't give a poo poo because if/when he hits super two he'll make like 750k instead of 500k. If George Springer hits super two then he'll be making 5-ish million (I think? Someone else will know better what he'd hit in Arb1 if he plays up to expectations). So the reason Super Two doesn't constantly get later is because all the org filler prospects keep getting called up at a normal rate.

Pay a GM to field an entire team of rookies to skew the numbers.

IcePhoenix posted:Justin Morneau starting the ASG in Target Field for the NL would be the biggest kick to the balls This would actually be awesome, if there was an entire all-star team of Minnesota Twins castaways. Who is there besides Ortiz/Morneau/Liriano/Garza?

Cuddyer was an all-star (and in the dinger derby) last year. Hunter was an all-star for the Angels and Tigers. I don't know that they count as castaways though.

e: LaTroy Hawkins has been a superb reliever for years and if you take out his numbers as a MIN starter, he's even better. Also, IcePhoenix posted:Teams only care about super two status with the prospects that are supposed to be really good and make a bunch of money in arb.

LaTroy Hawkins was a superb reliever in Minnesota, too, when he wasn't closing.tadashi posted:Don't forget JJ Hardy. On that note, I didn't even notice Gomez wasn't on the original list because he's as obvious as Ortiz

Well if we're counting guys that were traded to the Twins, then Joe Nathan makes the list. e: AJP and Lohse are originals!

SS: JJ Hardy 3B: Nick Punto LF: Michael Cuddyer CF: Carlos Gomez RF: Torii Hunter SP: Matt Garza SP: Francisco Liriano SP: R.A. Dickey SP: Kyle Lohse SP: Scott Baker RP: Joe Nathan RP: Pat Neshek RP: relievers are hard

N: Cubs forced to call-up Eli Whiteside to replace Welington Castillo. That means their 2 catchers are the moment are John Baker and Eli Whiteside. V:  Cubs are the worst.
