2016 MLB Offseason Thread
« on: November 10, 2016, 10:46:39 AM »
Let's talk about some goddamn baseball, people.

Who is going to give Rich Hill a lot of money to watch him spend next year on the DL?

Who gives Cespedes the massive contract they should have just given him last year rather than wait and overpay him when he's another year older?

Will the White Sox sell, add, or once again just stand there doing nothing and hoping 85 wins fall into their laps and it works out?
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

I could see questions 2 and 3 dovetailing nicely.

I have no idea if that's a real person or not, but that name is fantastic.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Turns out that a friend of mine from high school has been working as a personal chef for some of the Cubs the past couple of years, including all of Hammel's meals this season.

Was he responsible for the potato chips?

If so, I'd like to speak with him.

If Shitty's were still a thing, I'd certainly invite him. Very interesting fellow, former USMC and once delivered a poetry recitation to my imaginary college girlfriend. I want to say Jabberwocky, but it doesn't feel right. I'll have to check.
