Still Quiet on the Minor-League Front
While there’s suddenly plenty of news on the MLB side of things, it’s mostly the kind of things we hear too much about from the current administration (lying, cheating, hypocrisy).
On the minor-league side, things are are still quiet. Sorry, but Boomer will still snore through 4A signings like Mac Williams, as he should.
The news that another Dominican ballplayer dying in a motor vehicle accident is sad—regardless of whether or not he was a National—but hardly a surprise. If you haven’t already seen it, I highly recommend looking for HBO’s Real Sports story from 2017.
Finally, the The F-Nats claim that the new ballpark is on schedule. Single-game tickets remain unavailable for purchase. Officials say they will be put on sale in March.
I chuckled at the Vegas odds on the board here in Reno for the Astros 13/2 to win the 2020 WS.
Sleep deep, Spike until 2/2/2020
Anybody want to counter this idea? If the Reds move on from Dietrich and sign Brook Holt would Dietrich accept a Fresno fate ??
Forinsicane. Maybe we will see Buck Rodgers in Cooperstown to observe 33 Walker induction
One would think , Todd, Luke, Grissom and squires that the Nats won’t sign as many minor league free agents
As the Padres . Listing found in NY Times transactions section yesterday
Winter storm Jacob confirms Nats re- signed Jakob Wilson ??
Luke is Spike psychic enough to predict the BA transactions for last 30 days ??
I’m not sure – we’d need a medium to speak to Spike, since he passed away in 2012. I’m hoping that the BA top 100 will get them off their asses in Durham; I check every morning before digging into the watchlist work.
Oops Luke. Early altzheimers
Dakota Bacus and Bryan Bonnell back but not Derek Self
Reds add another interesting depth piece in Boog Powell.
Spike Lives!
BA posted last 30 day transactions list
As long as Silber is the owner there is nothing that can be believed from the F Nats.
Truth is stranger than fiction in Fred, Mark L???
The more things change the more the song remains the same. The Astros investigation
Being done by a different generation of clowns who shut down the 1994 season … right Forinicane???
What year is San Diego up on their contract with El Paso. ???
Anything’s better than Fresno, eh?
El Paso? That’s not much closer than Fresno.
One time zone closer.
I guess conversation cannot stir Spike
Angels signing rebound guys in Huff and Manipy
Like Nats like to do
There has been a weird dearth of MiLB/NRI signings being reported for the Nats. Javy back, Abad back, David Hernandez, Carlos Tocci, Mac Williamson…that’s about it. Bleh. Infielder market seems to have stalled out, imagine we bring one or two of those guys to camp.
I guess the jury is still out on the senators alum site listing Ward and Bichette Jr as re- signed .
Luke. You saw G Lara and K Williams late last summer . Are they ready for the Sens infield corners ??
Much depends on the FAs that get assigned to AA… unless the market picks up, we could see a lot of social promotions like we did in the ’00s.
