BrianS81177 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Good lord that will be a freakshow. If he's half as good a left fielder as he is a shortstop, he'll be the worst outfielder in the AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Can he be any worse in the OF than Hanley Ramirez? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Can he be any worse in the OF than Hanley Ramirez? No one could be worse in the OF than Hanley Ramirez. You and I could play the OF better than Hanley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Can he be any worse in the OF than Hanley Ramirez? No one could be worse in the OF than Hanley Ramirez. You and I could play the OF better than Hanley. On Reddit's baseball site today, there was someone who played OOTP game where he made a roster full of Phil Coke's to fill all 25 members of the roster. In a 162 game season, the lowest defensive WAR was 1-5 Phil Coke. No.6 was Hanley Ramirez. That means 3 position player Phil Cokes did better then him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 For the record, the "What is Yoenis Cespedes riding to work this morning?" game is the greatest thing ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I hope he's saving some of his money at least. I think I saw a headline yesterday mentioning him dropping something like $7000 on a championship hog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamhock Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Aroldis Chapman will be suspended for 30 games w/o pay, and has agreed not to appeal the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 It definitely seems like a "We will only give you 30 games if you agree to not appeal" deal Which means they probably were going to give him like 60 or 80 but figured that would be sliced down afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Well Ed reminded too that a long suspension could have messed with his free agency So that was probably another factor too - where they gave him something that won't mess him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Heard that they shaved 15 games off what they were going to give him when he agreed not to appeal. Obviously he made a wise decision because if he got 45 games he wouldn't be eligible for FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 That would've made him think twice next time he thought about knocking around his lady, if they messed with his FA eligibility. Too bad they didn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yeah, I like how the politics of baseball put a player's free agent eligibility above serving punishment for choking his partner. At least, that's what it seems like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
