Totally agree with you AND I noticed this interesting tidbit about Merrill a few months back:

bsky.app/profile/dgof...

In an indictment, would they only list the events they believe they can prove, even if there are many other suspicious events?

I lived in Roanoke for 4 years and went to a number of games in Salem. Salem Red Sox was perfectly coherent!

Charbonnet and Walker both being on this list is rough... and consistent.

A not insignificant variable here is that many dynasty leagues (the ones I'm in at least) have more minors slots than MLB slots. A top prospect losing minors eligibility before hitting their stride in the MLB can be a major pain point relative to an upper-minors stud who hasn't failed yet!

*Hands Chris his soap box*

They have all played for or against the Mets... that's my best guess to get Ordonez in there!

There is some real excitement about the young outfielders they have coming up (de Paula, Hope, Sirota, etc.), but realistically those guys are 1-2 years away and who knows if they'll pan out. Can Rushing be an answer as a LF/C? Do they move some of those guys for an established OF?

one for me as well if you don't mind!

Can't come soon enough

I will be there!

Yeah that's been my sense as well. Although I'd be in favor of experimenting with defensive fit while the team is bad rather than waiting! Maybe they hoped he'd get better? It just hasn't happened.

I've been saying this for years! It's strange to me that this isn't discussed more often.
