is it fair to say, that Elly is a more valuable commodity than Julio Rodriguez?
Larry – Yes! Especially when you factor in JRod’s ridiculous contract.
JRod’s numbers have steadly dropped after his rookie season, he needs to step up big time to earn his pay.
He is usually torrid for 5 straight weeks & tepid the rest of the season. His lack of consistency is frustrating. His end of season numbers hide his deficiencies.
I get that Trevor Bauer isn’t everyone’s favorite, but what exactly has this guy been convicted of that they seem to hate him so much? People forgave a guy like Mike Vick, heck, we all love Bartolo Colon and he had a second family behind his wife’s back. If he’s willing to get paid the minimum and no one is giving him a chance it really stinks of a “blackballing” so to speak. Aroldis Chapman likely threatened a family member with a firearm, no one seems to care, what’s the deal? Why the double standard? Is it simply Bauer’s extremely punchable face?
“…what exactly has this guy been convicted of that they seem to hate him so much?”
First off he hasn’t been convicted of anything, but that misses the point. The question should be what has this guy done that makes every team not want anything to do with him? The answer to that is something that’s not public, which is the MLB internal investigation.
A bit of empirical thinking should bring one to the conclusion that every team has seen that report, and there’s enough there that teams want to avoid anything to do with him. We’ll probably never know what’s in that report, but it’s a reasonable conclusion, since he’ll never pitch in MLB ever again, that it had to be pretty bad.
Adrian Peterson whipped his son until his genitals were bloody. Are you saying it’s worse than that? Peterson played half a decade after that came out. If it’s that bad why would no one report on such a juicy story? It just doesn’t add up…
Tyreek Hill choked his pregnant girlfriend in college and then years later likely broke his 3 year old son’s arm and he is still in the league. No one seems to care, but people will line up to fight you over Trevor Bauer and the best I can get is a response like yours. “It’s so bad they don’t even talk about it” It really seems like nonsense to me.
