    Which Current MLBers Will Be In the Hall of Fame?

    The interesting cases, to me, will be Votto, Greinke, and Jose Ramirez. In my Hall there is definitely a case for Votto and Greinke but Jose Ramirez strikes me as a bit of the modern day Bobby Abreu. I know he puts up big numbers consistently but he doesn’t strike me as a HoFer.

    2024 Portland Sea Dogs (AA)

    I’m thinking two more solid starts from Pernod will mean a trip to Worcester. No use having a 26 year old spend too much time in AA, no?

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    I’m trying to figure out what he could have been thinking. Nuts

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    He has become the answer to the trivia question of who was released when the O’s called up Jackson Holliday.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    If the league is in better health, it really needs to do something about the salaries, at least for rookie first round picks. I saw something about Caitlin’s rookie contract which is basically averaging about 75k a year. That’s embarrassing.
