MLB: Misc. General Thread Baseball Season 2017
- Thread starter BoxsterCy
- Start date
only complaint is that the top 4 should advance and not this head to head matchups.
I know I am doing this wrong but, deep dish pizza and wine for my All-Star Gamewatch.
One thing I did do right was not turning this on till the game actually started. did not miss all of the hype BS they throw at you pre-game. JFC, just watch and announce the damn game.

Swapped second tier prospects. Yankees got a first baseman the Brewers had no use for and Brewers got a soft throwing lefty. I am assuming the 1st baseman Cooper gets sent to Yankees AAA as insurance if Choi bombs out. I put odds at 25% Choi bombs, 25% he continues to do well and 50% he gets hurt (cause 2017 injury curse).
I don't know anything about Cooper but Webb was taken by the Phillies in rule 5 draft and Yanks got him back cause Phillies didn't add him to their 40 man (if I understand it correctly).
JFC. **** this season and the injuries. Yanks Michael Pineda has just been diagnosed with a torn UCL and will probably need the Tommy John. Explains him going from awesome in the spring to inconsistent and mostly bad this summer. Was figuring 80% chance earlier that Yanks get a wildcard but with injury after injury after injury I am guessing maybe 25% chance.
Time to give Chance Adams a shot. Sucks that this Yankee team had a real shot at going deep but the baseball Gods have thrown every injury at them.
This might force the Adams issue. With all of the injuries I am kinda hoping they just move forward as a rebuild year and not make a stupid trade for pitching in a gamble to make the playoffs. Maybe work off season on the starting rotation via trade or free agent.
Injury is going to cost Pineda millions as he is a free agent at the end of the year. Someone will take a shot at him at a bargain price but it wouldn't be the big dollars he might have seen.
Man that's yet another tough break. I don't really care for the Yankees but I think it's overall a good thing for baseball to have them be relevant at least in playoff contention
Going to platoon with Choi. Poor Cooper is at great risk of injury in joined the cursed squad this summer.
