This is a fond memory of one of my OOTP seasons. Donaldson hurt his arm, Kawasaki broke his leg, Bautista got suspended for shoving an umpire, etc. etc. Congratulations, 17-year-old third baseman in single-A, you're a big leaguer for three days.

Mark Melancon signed with San Diego. Also after an amount of time that is getting weird now, the supposed Adam Duvall to Miami deal has not been made official so I wonder if there's a physical pending or a counteroffer or something.

Re: minor leagues: it is much weirder to offload the professional development of athletes onto institutions for learning where players are forbidden from drawing salaries than it is to have some form of robust minor league. It’s essentially just a historical accident in the US alone.

Minor leagues is better than using college because you have your own people in there instructing them and teaching them what you want and the way you want it. The NFL SHOULD do it, but they never will because the owners like getting free prospect farming vs the cost and logistics of setting up a league, and the universities would a bloo bloo like crazy because it would more than likely kill college football. Most players wouldn't go play in college when you can get signed and groomed by an NFL team and be paid

There's an awful lot of crap goalkeepers in lower-tier professional soccer who are there because someone has to play goalkeeper, same with catchers and quite a few others in the baseball minors.

Most players wouldn't go play in college when you can get signed and groomed by an NFL team and be paid We're stuck with it in football specifically because for a lot of people and state legislatures in this country that's literally the only reason to fund a university anymore. You think LSU would be putting out PhDs still if the football team was intramural?

You'd probably also enjoy the podcast about the San Jose Bees the Dollop just did They basically signed as many guys with talent who had been blackballed because of drugs by Uberroth as they could after losing Expos affiliation. So they got some money from Seibu to bring in 5 Japanese guys and a coach

N: Flaherty won his arb case against the Cards and is very happy about it: https://twitter.com/ByRobertMurray/status/1360683373824536588 https://twitter.com/Jack9Flaherty/status/1360683167116525568 https://twitter.com/Jack9Flaherty/status/1360683206878453762 V: Owns, I wish more players were less obtuse about telling owners to pound sand. Seriously what the gently caress are you doing bringing your young, home grown ace to arb over $900K? It's not a problem unique to the Cardinals either, the Rays took Yarbrough to arb over $800K and won because apparently they were able to argue that since he came in after the opener he should be weighed as multi-inning reliever, not a starter.

Mike Soroka won his arbitration case against the Braves and will make $2.8m rather than $2.1m next season. As yet unclear: why the Braves would dick around over $700k.

I will provide the counter and say I really like the dollop. There are a bunch of ads, but they are all at the beginning, so skip 10 minutes in. And they have done a bunch of baseball episodes and they are all pretty good. Other episodes include Rube Waddell, Ten Cent Beer Night, Disco Demolition night, the yankee swap, Glenn Burke, and others i can't remember.

The Dollop has some great episodes, though Dave Anthony (the main guy I think?) is a huge baby about the Giants and Bumgarner on twitter. I think he blocked me for making fun of Bumgarner in his mentions after the Muncy “go get it out of the ocean” game. In particular I enjoyed their episodes on DiFi, McCain, and GHWBush.

It isn't baseball but the episode they did on soccer mascot Cyril the Swan in their UK miniseries (https://dollopengland.libsyn.com/2-cyril-the-swan) is maybe the funniest telling of a sports story I've ever heard. And yes Dave Anthony is a huge baby on social media.

He's a comedian that hates fun. It's weird. Those episodes are all bangers. I liked the Trump episodes too to be honest. But McCain is so so so good.
