255 ABs last year. Maybe lets look at 14 and 15 too, where he had over 1000 ABs and an OPS of .709. He’s a hair better than a 1-win player. You can’t honestly suggest that you think he should be the planned starter at 3B on a good team.

Ranked 22nd among 3B w/ 250 AB and it was still largely perceived as Reyes getting lucky over a smallish sample (only 255 AB). But keep fucking that chicken.

1) He’ll probably make 10x as much at CBS

Jose Reyes has been bad for a while and his stint with the Mets last season should have been in-person proof of this for Mets’ brass. Good utility guy option, I suppose, but considering David Wright’s back is worse than Bruce Wayne’s in the pit they shouldn’t be shocked that they’re in this situation.

Who chose “death penalty” as the term to imply a one-year suspension? That’s some dumb shit. The murderous inmate was sentenced to death, so watch out next year!

It’s common practice in MLB for teams to cover these sort of incentive bonuses as a gesture of good faith when a player comes extremely close but doesn’t meet the arbitrary bar set in the contract.

Judge wearing a helmet, Howard, is probably a foot closer to the camera, and perhaps Howard is shorter than listed?

For all intents and purposes, he is new though right? Like if the intent of the rule is to allow new coaches to install their system and verbiage and all that happy horse shit, then Marrone should probably be entitled to it?

I feel like ““I keep that information confidential, but the range I’m looking for now is...”” would get you laughed out of the room. The three suggested responses in this article are too abrupt and standoffish.

Fuck Paul Ryan with Ayn Rand’s dick.

Wonder how Ric Flair, Derek Jeter, Tom Brady, Jim Leyland, Migos, and a roster of weirdly awesome stars and alumni managed to get their on their own. I see you Desmond Howard.

My money is on Ines Sainz.

I figured the cop instructed the driver to pull over and then moved her car back and behind his in the breakdown area. Do we have proof she didn’t?

Counterpoint: Maybe a 31 year old running back previously marred by injury would be better after a year off.

Tavon Wilson wasn’t as good as Harmon is but free agency came and went last year and he disappeared to the Lions where he would start. I had assumed the same would happen to Harmon. Most teams don’t have two starting-caliber safeties nevermind three or four.

Same can be said for Duron Harmon on a 5m/year deal.

Seems like MLB teams’ policy on this was/is “We are offering you a contract to play baseball for us. How you get here to honor that contract is your problem.”

Came here just for this.

Love that the Vikings stooge is mad they won and thus gave up a higher pick for Sam Bradford.

me: (looking around nervously, leaning in, whispering, then slinking back to safety) who cares?
