MLB Offseason Thread: Lockdown is over, now prepare for a lockout

[Krandor]

Honestly we should just remove Wisconsin and Minnesota entirely, seems like they're not worth the problems they cause.

You forgot about Ohio.

The only thing good to come out of there lately out of all the major sports was that drive into deep left field.

Ohtani absolutely deserved it. I know there was a lot of arguing for Vlad jr., but what Ohtani did literally hasn't been done in 100 years.

[Obsidian]

I wanna know who the one guy that gave Vlad the third place vote, gave his second place vote to lol.

[Richybear]

salvador perez, kc catcher apparently

[NynJa]

Not apparently. VladJr got 29/30 seconds, Salvador Perez got the 30th.

Lol Brandon Crawford got more first place votes than Tatis, and one of them was from a San Diego sports writer

Some dude put $30,000 on Ohtani getting AL MVP with 30 to 1 odds prior to the season and just made $900,000.

I don't think I could produce enough semen in my entire lifetime for this.

last year of eligibility for a couple people you may have heard of

Ten votes, for once not a shitty tough decision

Bonds
Clemens
Kent
Ortiz
A-Rod
Schilling

And then you still have 4 spots to argue the merits of Vizquel, Wagner, Sheffield, Hunter, Fielder, Andrew Jones, and if you want to be spicy, Manny.

Did David Ortiz ever get to the bottom of his steroid use?

He is pretty much a lock for the hall of very good. But when you only have 3 seasons of an ERA below 3, and 9 at 4 or above (plus another where he finished with a 3.99 era) you really aren't getting in. If he got in based on post season alone, Mad Bum should have already been elected.

In Giants news, Giants re-signed Anthony DeSclafani to a 3 year 36million contract, and close to signing Alex Wood to a 2 year 20 million contract. If they can somehow also get Gausman for something like 3 for 48-52, I'd be so happy.

Trey Mancini and Buster Posey are AL/NL Comeback Players of the Year, to no one's surprise.

Saw that earlier. The Rays spending money? What is this sorcery? Next, you're going to tell me the Mets will have a relatively quiet season on the injury front, and the Padres will do more than just win the offseason.
