<t>Born and raised in CT. An aunt, uncle, and cousins moved to The Burgh in '70. We visited them in the summer of '71. I attended my first MLB game on that trip at Three Rivers and remember a raucous crowd cheering a big win over the Phils where Clemente and Stargell had big hits. Then, I remember s...

<t>I voted Glasnow since I voted him #1. I think he still has ace upside and ace pitching prospects are rare. We need to be patient though. He reminds me of Randy Johnson in size and in his pitch development. It took RJ some time to reach his potential. I think it could be Tyler's 4th year before we...

<t>The Nats need to make a splash, but I don't think we get Robles AND a top pitching prospect (Giolito, Lopez) back. I'd rather get the pitching. I can see a deal where we get Giolito (I prefer him to Lopez but admit to not knowing a ton about Lopez) and Ross.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Or how about a ...

<t>I think a deal could be made that makes sense for both sides. Maybe he gets a $4M base with innings based incentives that kick in this year and can bring him up to $7-8M. Or maybe they pay more up front this year and get a team option for $10-12M for next year? Of course, the latter approach woul...

<t>I voted Dodgers based on the talent they have plus what's in the pipeline. Five years from now is a long time. All thoughts from here depend on guys staying relatively healthy. Kershaw will still be there toward the end of his dominance but still strong. Urias will be a fixture. Maeda will still ...
