Updated Money Mike Kryptonite List

Sandy Alcantara
Carlos Rodon (L)
Patrick Corbin (L)
Jacob Degrom
David Pederson (L)

No shame in this... But I bet a second look at Corbin would yield different results

He's the only person Corbin has gotten out all year.

No shame man, Tony Gwynn may have only gone 1-4 against Degrom last night.

This looks more like a hit list to me. Since he owns everyone else these are his next targets to pump some sweet sweet hits off of.

Mike is going to really improve once he starts becoming more selective on his pitches.

I've heard him say that he was always taught that it's basically a disgrace to strike out looking. I believe his father taught him that. "Go down swinging."

I can't wait to see his career take off in the next few years!

That makes sense because Mike has spent so little time playing professional baseball.

When I was playing baseball recreationally, you better get that bat off your shoulder if the pitcher is throwing strikes. Maybe philosophies have changed and some younger board members can correct me.

If you don't swing at pitches outside of the strike zone...you will succeed in baseball.

Apparently solo homers in the 9th down by a run aren’t exciting either.

ROY will be an ATL Brave.

I’d love for he and Strider to both win.

Yup. They paid Ozzie half that for 7 years. It's only $28M short of Ronald. What is AA saying to these guys to get them to sign?

Gives him a guaranteed contract through is arbitration years and first couple years of FA. Allows him to be seeking that mega deal right at the start of him entering his prime

Will wait and see the details, but $72M/8 feels like it would be less of a discount than the other recent ones (obviously Albies and Acuna are a whole different level).
