TODAY'S BIRTHDAY: 

Tyrus Raymond "Ty" Cobb (1886)
Cobb was one of the greatest offensive players and perhaps the fiercest competitor in baseball history. During his 24-year career as an outfielder for the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Athletics, he set records that would stand for decades, including 892 stolen bases—a feat partly attributed to the brutality with which he used his cleats. Cobb provoked controversy on and off the field but was the first player elected to baseball's Hall of Fame in 1936.

I find it "amazin'" that the team who just spent more than any other in the history of baseball just to win 89 games just signed the fattest contract for a player ever.

The Mets don't understand that they're the Mets.  It's brutal to watch.

I always enjoyed watching this guy pitch. Not anywhere near the stats of Maddux, but he relied on accuracy and command. And his games lasted like 2 hours.

The next great Japanese pitcher has whittled it down to LAD, SD, and TOR.

He's being posted early or something, so his salary is only going to be like $10 mil/yr, so this isn't a 'highest bidder' thing, necessarily.

West coast teams are always rightfully going to have a leg up here.  Toronto loves finishing runner up in FA races, but nobody wants their money, so I assume it's LAD or SD.  SD ownership is involved in a massive in fight, so I assume LAD

Apparently Darvish has mentored the kid somewhat.

Dodgers are at least finally plugging the holes in that roster

Yeah, they got Sasaki.  6 years @ a rookie contract.  Wow.

That rotation at some point, but Ohtani won't be ready at the start.  But that rotation, plus Gonsolin.  Plus May.  And Kershaw will play some.  

The only thing that can keep LA out of first is listing the teams alphabetically.

Why are we treating the one  vote omission of Ichiro's HOF tally like it's Who Shot JR?

Give it a rest.

Because when there is no rational reason, it then becomes dubious and possibly unethical.
