Of course he is.Originally Posted by mvp 78
Just look at how stupid he looks compared to when he had the Moss flowing. Now maybe he grew up in the Barrio. I have no idea and really don't care enough to look it up. But that kid was brought up white. Just listen to him talk or sing! His cornrows smell of boredom and cultural appropriation. Any way you slice it, Arroyo is not from Africa.
I am so glad that I derailed this thread by mentioning Willy Mo. I am God.

Who knew this would become such a lively thread.

I believe that is missing a purse.
They photo-shopped it out of this picture, so ARod wouldn't be embarrassed while on his farewell tour.
Are you responsible for all of this? You are the best! End of fucking story. My new hero. I saw what you were able to do.
Can I just ask why Mauricio Dubon is not getting more attention on the prospect sites? He's currently hitting like a champ in Portland at only age 21, and apparently he's a good fielding SS too. Where's the love?

I know the power isn't necessarily there, but this is a shortstop. Power is a luxury at short, not a necessity, and power is the only thing this guy seems to be lacking. And he's shown strides in his gap to gap power.
This kid has a real potential at his position. And nobody is even talking about him. Perhaps because he's blocked by Bogaerts? Either way that should change.

If history tells us anything, the path to redeption for any bad baseball team is marked with a deep rotation of durable starters, a world class defense in both infield and outfield, a lineup that can generate runs in more than one way, a bullpen that won't steal defeat from the jaws of victory, and a top end catcher to hold the whole package together. These are the conditions by which victory is achieved, anything that does not accomplish these objectives is a waste of resources.
Because even Soxprospects have said his recent numbers have come out from nowhere. It's not like he was mashing when the midseason lists came out.
It's also nice to see Kopech, Johnson and Owens doing well of late.
I am with you on this one. Mauricio Dubon is having a great season. His current numbers put him at the head of the class for Portland. He is also very smooth in the field. He very well might have a great career.
Scratch Owens from this list.
The walks are killing me!
Groome is pitching today.
