And yeah, 10 year contracts are bad in baseball. Just look at Pujols. There's a reason why the Angels are wasting Mike Trout's career. They can't afford to put good pieces around him.

[QUOTE=imdaman99;14309027]Mets gave Lindor a 10 year $340 million contract without him even playing a game for them. I know everyone would be clowning them if they didn't sign him before the season and he was struggling (hmmmm he must be pressing because he hasn't gotten paid yet!). But what the hell are they supposed to do when this guy busts? 10 years of this bum? At least move him to the 8th-9th spot in the lineup.[/QUOTE]
It's been one month. Chill :lol
I understand that it's all doom and gloom at the moment but in July when the Mets win 10 of 12 and Lindor hits .500 during that stretch you won't even remember April.
It's early in the season but the White Sox currently have the best record in baseball...without the services of two of their best players in Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert...like I said, prepare thine anus

Rodon has been an auto win every time he starts. Where the hell did this come from :lol

Lance Lynn too...dunno what's going on but our starting rotation could hang with anyone's, along with our offense. Andrew Vaughn and especially Yermin Mercedes have been a much needed shot in the arm after losing two of our best starters.
Our GM Hahn has made some great draft picks and trades but he fukked up big time tarding Fernando Tatis Jr...imagine the insane offense of this infield, Jose Abreu, last year's MVP at 1B, Tatis Jr. at 2B, Tim Anderson at SS and Yoan Moncada at 3B :eek:

The White Sox have been fun to watch but Larusa needs to go as he sucking some of the fun out of team
As a A's fan I always enjoy seeing the Angels struggle but as a baseball fan it is a shame they wasted Trouts career. 1 playoff series in 10 years is a joke

Love watching Lance and that infield would have been oozing machismo. The batlips alone ��

The division is open but I’m not sure I trust that offense long term.
The injuries to Louie and Elroy are gonna hurt as the season progresses I think.
Wake me up when the Braves stop sucking. A team that was one win away from the World Series last year.

I dunno man, Sox were without last year's MVP Jose Abreu last night (along with our slugger Jimenez and Robert) yet they were able to muster 16 runs vs the Twinkies...they aren't hitting the long ball (yet) but they are getting on base and driving them in.

Well anything can happen in one game. Or one series. Or even a month.
Over 6 months things get trickier. I like what I see from Madrigal though.

I don't even know how the Mets are beating them :lol half the team is injured and Lindor is under .200. deGrom is hurt yet Mets are winning (except against Tampa who swept them).
The entire MLB has become unwatchable. The entire league average for hitting right is .236. This is the lowest it has EVER been.
Pathetic. Every batter is swinging for the fences and they whiffing at an alarming rate. Gone are the days of the slap hitter who would just try to make contact and put the ball in play.

The White Sox are surprisingly amongst the lowest home run hitting teams yet have the best record in the AL and by far have the best run differential so go figure :lol

I agree with your overall point here, but this was still funny :lol

Francisco Lindor received what I have to say are his heaviest boos to date as a Met after grounding into a double play in the fourth. Lindor is in a 6-for-39 (.154) funk.
Earlier today, GM Zack Scott compared Lindor's slow start to that of Carlos Beltrán in 2005:[/QUOTE]
