    We've all seen the list of things that Rick Astley will never do:
    -- give you up
    -- let you down
    -- run around
    -- desert you
    -- make you cry
    -- say goodbye
    -- tell a lie
    -- desert you

    Well in that same spirit, here are all the things Mr. Cliche Harrison Bader WILL do:
    -- take it one day at a time
    -- do his research
    -- trust his research
    -- be okay with making a mistake
    -- go out and compete
    -- have a game plan
    -- trust the plan
    -- go out and execute
    -- make it a team effort
    -- do his part
    -- play his game
    -- help his team win

    usually don’t agree with verlander’s little bro
    but completely concur with him here

    @BenVerlander
    The Dodgers are NOT the problem. In fact, they put almost 3/4 of their revenue BACK into the team. The problem is the teams at the bottom of this list that do the opposite.
    Full convo here (~12:40 in)

    From an article in the Athletic ranking the farm systems of every team........Dodgers #2

    2
    Los Angeles Dodgers
    [​IMG]
    I take no pleasure in reporting this, but the Dodgers continue to boast one of the best farm systems in baseball — and I could make an argument for them as No. 1, although the Freddy Peralta trade locked the Brewers into that spot for me. The Dodgers are the paragon of hitter development, with a clear idea of who they believe they can help and processes that make it happen once they acquire the player, whether it’s via the draft, a trade or international signing. Kendall George is not a top 100 prospect, but they took George, an 80 runner (on the 20-80 scouting scale) with an awful swing and no power, and fixed the swing to the point where he is now a viable prospect — maybe a Chandler Simpson type (it’s the obvious comparison), maybe even a little better. This seemed like such an unlikely proposition a year ago, but the Dodgers are the best at what they do. Fans of other teams can complain all day about the money the team spends on the major-league roster, but the Dodgers do back it up with the old-school stuff that you should respect, even if you don’t like it: They scout, heavily, and they do individual development work with their players — especially hitters — that is the best in the sport.

    The Padres have the worst farm system in baseball, according to @keithlaw.

    The Dodgers signed RHP Ryder Ryan to a minor league deal, sources tell The Athletic. Brother of Dodgers RHP River Ryan. Will make $800K if he makes the majors.

    @dylanohernandez
    Blake Snell’s status for opening day is uncertain, @ByJackHarris reports. Because his arm was “exhausted”after the World Series, Snell slow-played his offseason throwing program.

    @FOS
    The San Francisco Giants are being sued for allegedly charging hidden “junk fees” that illegally inflated ticket costs and weren’t disclosed until checkout.​

    And so it begins. Glassnow next?

    Anyhow, babying them and having them rested in the playoffs worked last year. Let Stone or Ryan get some work.

    The Dodgers are one of the MLB teams who are heavily persuading top NPB Draft prospect P Shoki Oda(Yokohama HS) to skip the event and sign with them.

    Would be very brutal for NPB to lose the consensus best pitchers from High School and College to MLB in a single Draft.
