@ChrisCotillo Is he hurt again already? I bet he is.

[Mike DiPalma @MikeDiPalma]

@Thelscwxman Good stuff.

Would have been funny if today’s pic included a Batman lunch box.

@1brightman1 Go Red Sox!

@SeanMcL45832660 @LouMerloni Nobody is as good as they were in July.

@BOSSportsGordo I wouldn’t even be surprised if it’s Rick Porcello. If he somehow steps into the box with the bases loaded, I’ll be thinking “oh, cool…”

@BillSimmons Late in the game, I was wondering if they had the emergency goalie in the building.

@BOSSportsGordo He began camp healthy and with a chance to win an everyday job.

There were clearly issues with attitude/entitlement immediately. Then he stunk, was moved to his natural position when Story got hurt, stunk more, then got hurt.

The complete lack of development was the problem.

@PatrickAxelFol1 @BOSSportsGordo @alexspeier @MLBPipeline This kid is in A ball. If he reaches the majors, it’ll be at least 3 years from now.

[Mike DiPalma @MikeDiPalma]

@BOSSportsGordo @saintsfan93 I wouldn't give the Arias straight up for Neto.

Also, Arias would possibly be resundant with Nimmala, who they just got from Toronto in the Soriano deal.

[Mike DiPalma @MikeDiPalma]

@mikeyBcards @darrenrovell Why would they? The world was in black and white.

[Mike DiPalma @MikeDiPalma]

@1brightman1 @notgaetti @baseball_ref @Stathead @Reds @baseballhall ...and then adjust for era. Put Votto's first five full seasons in the middle of the pitcher's era and see what happens to his numbers, especially those 356 HR's.

No knock on Joey. Fantastic player. But these comps ignore a lot of stuff.

@1brightman1 @ckamka At my current pace, I’m gonna live forever.

[Mike DiPalma @MikeDiPalma]

@D_Frank34 @midwestboxbreak I didn't see your post at the time.

I have an updated list and it appears that you have many of them if these are still available.

LMK what you'd like in return

[Mike DiPalma @MikeDiPalma]

@jasontconnor @DOBrienATL My go-to example has been the 1976 Red Sox, who used 11. I mention them in part because it was exactly 50 years ago and I also find it funny that the 11 guys included two Ricks and one Dick.

[Mike DiPalma @MikeDiPalma]

@VinnysCorner1 False

[Mike DiPalma @MikeDiPalma]

@JohnTollender @BOSSportsGordo @ChrisCotillo Exactly. They've called up Sogard, Siegler and Cheng. Someone has to play in AAA.

[Mike DiPalma @MikeDiPalma]

@heistypokerdlr @midwestboxbreak Fantastic. What else are you looking for that I can send in return?
