Based on how things have been going in the USA covid-wise, I don't think it's possible we're going to have a full season schedule with full stadiums by the time April rolls around.

Hiring Tony La Russa is the dumbest managerial move the White Sox have made since they fired Tony La Russa.

He was detained on a 72-hour mental health hold, which they won't do unless there is concrete evidence that he will hurt himself or others. Then they released him early from that hold. Gotta love the American mental healthcare system.

also I want to see a guy who throws nothing but mid-80s fastballs be a passable major league pitcher
I had a friend in high school who made it to AAA in the Royals system as a pitcher. He was a submariner and his nickname was "Disco Hayes" because his pitches never got out of the 70s. He actually had a very popular MLB blog for a while because he was super into sabermetrics right as the whole Moneyball thing started. In high school, I knew him much more for being the star of the chess team rather than the baseball team. He pitched with JA Happ at Northwestern and graduated with a computer science degree before heading to the minors.

I remember Bartolo the hot young rookie for the Indians and him still pitching effectively decades later is a delight that I think we're owed after the last few years.

I remember being super impressed with him still being able to throw triple-digit fastballs in the 7th inning as a rookie.

I was born in Cleveland, but moved when I was 5. One of my few memories of my time living there were the absolutely massive spiders there. If you remember the 2007 ALDS with all those midges, there were constantly swarms of them around my house, which was right on the lake. Spiders had an unlimited supply of midges to eat and they became enormous, like golf-ball-sized bodies, then they loved to show up in the basement where I played and terrify me. Those fuckers could jump too.

So please name them the Spiders.

That's why I don't like fantasy baseball, so many stupid weightings and it's usually just adding up numbers to see who won.

Large sample sizes and fewer traumatic injuries are why I've won my fantasy baseball league several times, but never won football. Only playing 12-13 regular season games and being one play away from your 1st-round pick being out for the season at any moment makes fantasy football infuriating.

the best fantasy sports league i did was a "millen league" that basically reversed points and was tweaked for the shittiest players, the draft where people were taking jimmy clausen #1 was great, and late-season bills-browns games had championship implications

Those are great because you need to have lovely players, but they can't be so lovely that they don't get starts.
