    It’s not as far fetched as you think. He’s made Sinton in to even more of a force then they were, and he’s developed a few MLB caliber prospects since he took over. And most of them aren’t from Sinton either. Some say they moved there just to be coached by him, but if not then that means he’s got decent recruiting experience as well.

    Recruiting in high school is one thing. Recruiting I. The sec where everyone pays is another.  But yea congrats to sinton for stealing athletes from Ben bolt and Agua Dulce

    What if, to cover his debts, Ohtani sold special edition cards like NIL style to fans.  Different types of them and fans could trade them, or sell them online to other fans or institutions.  And he could say they'll certainly appreciate in value as he gets back to the pitcher's mound.  Has any baseball player ever considered licensing themselves out like that, in/on card format that's fungible?  I may have stumbled upon the greatest marketing idea for baseball merch since the ballcap.

    Who does Ohtani owe money to?

    LOL sure. You'd rather believe he's a criminal mastermind who managed to hide all incriminating evidence tying himself to a sad and sorry gambling addiction downfall -- cellular, ip address, voice recordings at bank, and all evidence apparently that exists -- while also having his agent, his bookkeeper and accountant all expose themselves as failing to live up to their fiduciary responsibilities. And having his personal rep admit even to the bookie, the US Attorney and a court that he's guilty of theft.

    That’s just pilots error being pilots error. No cr

    What's the story here?

    The Houston version is Shaun Bagwell having goes with at least Darryl Kile, Ken Caminiti, and Mike Hampton. The Caminiti trade was driven by Jeff Bagwell's demands, allegedly.

    I think that’s why Hampton was traded too

    Yeah, I agree. It’s completely rationale to have both some excitement and trepidation about all of this. That’s how I feel @Dbeasy is operating. 

    I think 80% of the board is in wait and see approach. 
     

    however I think these recent adds are a sign that Rodney can pivot and can learn from his mistakes.

    Why do you irrationally hate RT?

    Yep.  He has been out on RT and maybe he’s right.  I’m still “time will tell” guy.  Dbeasy isn’t quite the mouth breather the other haters are though

    It’s debatable if he’s better than Garrison. They’re totally different players though. 

    Preferably you would like both but seems unlikely. 

    This will eventually spiral down to “is disorganized” and “not a leader.”
