Not sure what it is about McCaffrey but he sure has grit, wouldn’t expect such a selfish decision out of a high motor guy like that.

So this is where the buck stops.

it’s probably more productive to focus your anger at the rich manipulators rather than the poor, powerless people being manipulated

Bullshit. Joe Jackson is a no talent hack who only got to where he did by exploiting his children’s talents with no regard for their well being. He has no place being elected to the hall of fame.

That’s no moon. . . .

Man, why is Deadspin covering bullshit like this. What about sports? Why can’t we have a “Best QB’s of the 80's” post? Like remember Warren Moon?

It’s also an oddly prophetic Brexit commentary. If you rearrange the letters in Rogue One, you get Gone Euro.

You’re just mad because imaginary Cousins averages a triple-double on the Celtics and the imaginary Wizards trade away John Wall and move to Butte, Montana and change their name to the Butte Bullboys and toxic waste spills on the imaginary Deadspin office and you and Petchesky body swap which is fun for a few days but…

Are you trying to activate sleeper agents with this post?

Re: Giolito—yes he looked great in AAA, but his stuff was not the same later in the year. His fastball was down around 92-94 and scouts said it was straight. Yes Kopech might be a head case, but he has a plus-plus fastball to go with a plus curve and what could be a wipeout slider.

You focused on one detail in my entire reply. You discount Kopech and don’t even give any credit for Hahn getting Basabe thrown in as well, who is also highly regarded (yet a ways away).

Not really. This was the upgrade package that Hahn apparently waited out. I don’t know what you think Sale was ever going to bring in, but this is pretty good haul. Grade A-prospects.

Yeah, I know which 20-something MVP caliber player you were talking about, I’m just being smug too. “oh we’ll be juuust fine with out potential star” and I’m over here like “lol you’re going to lose Harper really soon and it will make you sad”. And then you’re all like “THAT’S NOT WHO I WAS TAKLING ABOUT” and then I…
