Ditka could’ve showed up at Spring Training and made the Baseball Hall of Fame without playing a regular season game. Ditka would’ve brought back the two-way player in baseball well before Shohei Ohtani. Ditka would DH in the NL. Ditka’s ‘stache would put such fear into hitters when he was on the mound that they would leave the batter’s box, never to return.
Donkey Teeth and B_Don discuss the young Mets SS Amed Rosario in part 1 of the shortstop profile this week. Amed showed a little power, and in a game where stolen bases are harder to come by in bunches, Rosario stole 24 bases in 2018. There were some swing changes that the guys noticed during their review and look for some growth in 2019.

12 team roro 26o budget..my 2$ clevinger and 28$ Dee Gordon for 1$ carlis Santana…I’m looking to get Gordon off my team at that price, thoughts?
@Jb: It’s not a friendly contract for Dee, but this still feels like a bad deal, especially if you have some other good values like the $2 Clevinger. It also depends how many people you’re keeping and what caliber player is available in the draft. Easier to eat that bad contract if there’s not going to be anyone worth spending the money on in the draft.
@Jb: Agree with BDon, fit another eay to move Gordon. $2 Clevinger is too valuable…hold him.
Would you trade Clevinger at 2$ for 1$ Carlos santana if they also took a 28$ Dee Gordon off my team?
12 team keep 10 + 10 farm ..roto… in complete rebuild mode .. my Khris Davis for His Hiura and Luis Urias … is keep Hiura down .. trying to squeeze a little more out of him … thoughts ??
@Trust the Process: I really like Hiura. It’s the Urias piece that I’d be looking to improve in rebuild mode.
If I’m understanding the wording correctly, you keep 10 MLB and 10 on the farm. If that’s the case, I think it is a fair offer for a 31 year old power bat, but you could probably squeeze a little more out of him. Maybe pull Urias out of the deal and aim for a higher upside play for the rebuild.
@B_Don:
That helps a lot … I’m trying for Hiura, Urias, Kopech .. I can afford to wait kopech out
@Trust the Process: Agree with BDon
