Right now, there are a dozen teams as bad or worse than the A’s.

If the Cards don’t want to compete anymore, I’d get rid of them 1st.

To be fair, a good chunk of the fan base is poor from legal defenses and buying autographed bibles

Story time? Did I miss something?

At the end of the first post, Dodds references a remark Shaka dropped about a player leaving who thought MU was going to stink and now Oso is better than that player.

Nova still has a bunch of roster spots open, contingent upon what Dixon and Armstrong decide.      Lucky them.

I’m surprised Armstrong is still out there.  I think he’s really good.

The Royals are a decade removed from a World Series win.  24 teams isn't enough.  What baseball needs is a salary cap and a salary floor.

Especially when almost all of the losing teams get millions and millions in revenue sharing.


But some owners don’t care if they win. They just want to keep their money tree healthy.

I should have said the A's ownership is embarrassing.   The players continue to meet or exceed expectations.   Use their moronic owners as focus and motivation.

I second the Odartey Blankston call above. Very good looking player and could have been a key piece when he left.

Garcia didn't hurt.   Any transfer that becomes a punchline at the banquet three years later can't hurt too much.

Yes.    The Cardinals are in a uncharacteristic hole.    Some prospects didn't pan out.   Maybe they should try the portal.      The A's are not even trying.    They are an embarrassment to all owners everywhere.      The White Sox have been competitive recently, they just got dumber.    Florida, for whatever reason, does not support MLB.   

Right now, there are a dozen teams as bad or worse than the A’s.

If the Cards don’t want to compete anymore, I’d get rid of them 1st.

A person posted this question on Reddit and it got me wondering. If all else in their career trajectory happened as it did at MU who hurt the most leaving?

Obvious answer is Sam

Other contenders are Deonte and McKay, Maymon probably Mbakwe

Garcia & Joey, put up decent numbers but seemed way over ranked in HS. Haanif & Christopherson got pretty good their final years but were average prior. Taylor did well in the mid majors his last year.

Who else truly hurt leaving and watching their success elsewhere? (Non grad transfer)

Jameel’s departure was an omen for that season.

Would have been nice to have Mbkawe but I’m not sure how those rosters are different if he stays.

It’s Sam, though his departure hastened the end of the Wojo era.  Odartey is probably a close second

The stories on each are so fascinating and so specific.

Sam
Jeronne
Odartey
