Oso planning to go pro
Not from what I’ve seen.
So long, Chief Wahoo.The Cleveland Indians will stop using the Chief Wahoo logo on their uniforms beginning in 2019, according to Major League Baseball, which said the popular symbol was no longer appropriate for use on the field.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/29/sports/baseball/cleveland-indians-chief-wahoo-logo.html
"Consumers will still be able to purchase items with the logo on them at the team’s souvenir shops in the stadium and at retail outlets in the northern Ohio market, but those items will not be available for sale on M.L.B.’s website."Hey we acknowledge this logo isn't appropriate. But we can still profit off it right???
Baby steps?
One rival executive dismissed Santana as a “bad defender,” while another said he is “not a winning player.” Any criticism of Santana’s defense is valid, based on the advanced metrics. But the assessment of Santana as “not a winning player” is probably too harsh. True, his strikeout rate rose in the final two months of last season, and, ideally, he would put more balls in the air. But Brewers people describe Santana as bright and mature, someone who wants to be good.
"not a winning player" lolSounds like something you'd state anonymously to lower his trade value for your team. You won't get any disagreement from me or anyone else that he's a horrid defender, though.
Exactly. Anybody reporting that his sources tell him a player, especially a baseball player, isn't a "winning player" doesn't have sources.
Are you saying you don't believe Ken Rosenthal has MLB sources? That would be pretty darn ignorant as he is widely regarded as the best connected and most reliable reporter in the MLB landscape.
On this subject? No. If you can’t find a better source than a guy saying a major player on one of, if not THE, surprise team in the MLB “isn’t a winning player” then you don’t have a source. It’s one of the dumbest statements about a player. Professional athletes don’t accidentally get to where they are.
So, what then, he made it up? I am not surprised at all a GM or scout would say something along those lines. Others may disagree, but I can completely buy someone saying it. Heck the Brewers have cut Chris Carter and given away Kris Davis recently as all HR, high K, poor defense guys in the last few years.
Comparing Santana (.278 last year) to Carter is a bit disingenuous. And I think most would agree that giving away Khris Davis, for his low average, is one of the few mistakes Stearns has made assessing his own talent. For the record, I'm not contesting that a GM said that. I'm sure they did. It's just a stupid hear-say quote to publish when it's backed by absolutely nothing. This is like the anonymous quotes questioning how much someone loves football right before the draft.
Milwaukee pulling a Nashville. I don't think this strategy has ever worked for any team that has tried it.https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/brewers-try-to-keep-cubs-fans-out-of-miller-park-this-season-473426403.html?_osource=SocialFlowFB_CHBrand
I'm more concerned about keeping Illinois drivers off our roads. At least while I'm on the roads.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/costs-of-wisconsin-dui-drunk-driving-families-forced-into-advocacy/Wisconsin drivers are the ones that should concern you.
I'm concerned about drunk drivers from any state.I'm concerned about Illinois drivers.
Dumb.
