NumberThree

Sano out until May.

Discussing politics on the internet with random strangers isn’t always ideal and I can understand well the reticence, especially since some of you seem to know one another. This is an interesting article a friend had me read recently. It goes well with some of the discussion here of late. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/03/watertown-new-york-tops-scale-political-tolerance/582106/?utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=the-atlantic-fb-test-826-2-&utm_content=edit-promo&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR1FYyJQQBy8hjuh88LwrJoGSYg0MNC8uOF2bATd5JP5iBgjHoPsowukd8E

Joe Lieberman isn’t a Democrat. He left the party years ago to become an independent but caucuses with the Republicans. So, there is no leaving him behind because he removed himself.

I was at the game today and have to say I am now very intrigued by Perez. Or maybe I’m more intrigued by Wes Johnson. Time will tell if maybe Perez or Johnson or both end up being great off-season acquisitions. And I didn’t know the speeds of the pitches ... was just looking at the over all performance. Was great ... in a very small sample size of 3 innings in a spring training game.

That wasn’t your statement. You said ‘embracing Trump.’ That is very different from walking away from the Dem Party. They could be liberal independents, independent centrists,socialists, libertarians, party unaffiliated... As I said leaving the Dem party is very different from embracing Trump, which was your original claim. And I do read. A lot. But you are the one making a claim. It’s up to you to support it.

He might have been good to have had last year. He could have been a great 4th outfielder. Or maybe Kepler could have been the 4th outfielder while also taking some time at first. Or if he had developed with the Twins as he has with the Yankees, he might have garnered us a quality RP. But there’s the rub ... can’t have known for sure what he would’ve become if we hadn’t traded him when we did. I think having too many quality players is a good problem to have. The more better you have, especially in surplus at a position, just gives you a better chance at trading for real quality to fill holes. As someone said earlier, trading him for a good catcher was a very good move, but that’s not what we did. And we created a hole and rushed Buxton to fill it. I wish it had worked out better for us, but that’s the gamble. Many at the time felt Murphy wasn’t a good return and that we should’ve rolled with Hicks for another year. Some were upset we didn’t get a fair return. Such is life. Hindsight, and all that.

Depends on the news site.

Cubs. Because 90% of their fans are bandwagoners anyway.
