Why do you call that poster Ketch? I've noticed this for a while but don't know the origin
Some ridiculously good-looking and knowledgeable poster might have given it to him.tylhair said:
Gotcha. I know who tu ketch is, I was curious why 2015 got the name.
I guess it is because he has information, but we have to take it with a healthy bit of skepticism?
2015 are you cool with the Ketch moniker?
It's simply because he has a couple of contacts within the organization, so he's pretty much an insider for us. That's the extent of it. It's not a commentary on the reliability of his information. 2015 has proven pretty darn reliable for us!tylhair said:

You can pretty much take 2015 to the bank. He called the Schloss thing weeks before and I told him he was a damn dirty liar. We saw how that worked out.
He doesn't get a say.
The deadline for MLB teams to exchange filing numbers with arbitration eligible players is this Thursday, January 9th.

Many players will avoid arbitration, agreeing to 2025 salaries by Thurs. Others will exchange numbers, setting up potential hearings ahead of spring training.

2015 told us they started calling him that last season
Credit to you for making it stick, though

Speaking of the Schloss thing… I teach high school and the other teachers know I'm a big A&M sports guy. Well our assistant baseball coach (and tshirt longhorn fan) came up to me in like late April and said "enjoy Schloss while you have him cuz he's coming to Texas this summer". I blew it off but he kept saying it over the next few weeks "it's happening, he's coming" all that kind of stuff. Saw him again at the start of school in August and he just gave me a shrug and a "I told you so".

Can you really claim to be on Texags and not understand Ketch?
Does that mean you also don't know about Barnes and Doss as well?

There's a bit of a difference between winning a championship and losing the last game. Thought Astro fans would grasp that.
There's also a bit of difference between "can" and "did"… unless you saying the baseball team is not capable of winning a championship.
Mostly because their coach had already resigned without mentioning it to anyone.
I'm not convinced they are willing to pay what we are asking. Their farm is still really good but not as deep as when they made that trade last year for Burnes. Castillo likely has more appeal to them with 3 years of control.Wabs said:
It's clear the O's are in desperate need of SP. We should be on the phone seeing what they'd give for Framber. Been saying this for a while now.
No, porkchop was talking about the women already winning a title in basketball under Blair, and Marvin is pointing out his misuse of the word "can" win.Sex Panther said:The Porkchop Express said:I feel like this incarnation of Aggie baseball had their shot and didn't win.Marvin said:The Porkchop Express said:

I'm still confused by this exchange... You think the unranked 8-6 - Aggie women's basketball team can win the national title... But the soon to be preseason #1 Aggie baseball team - with one of the best lineups ever assembled on paper - that almost won the national title last year... doesn't have a shot?
Don't disagree with you about Castillo. But they have tons of young talent and I'd at least be asking the question of what they'd be willing to part with, especially if we could include Pressly in the deal.MaxPower said:I'm not convinced they are willing to pay what we are asking.

Plus, if they wouldn't sign Burnes, why would they sign Framber? Couple that with Castillo possibly being out there with his years of control and they will lowball the Astros every time.Farmer1906 said:Wabs said:

I don't think that is clear at all. Could they use a Framber? Sure. Everyone could. But they're probably winning 90+ with the roster as constructed right now.

Right-hander Michael Lorenzen and the Kansas City Royals are in agreement on a one-year, $7 million contract, sources tell ESPN. Lorenzen, 33, was excellent down the stretch, and the deal includes a second-year mutual option for $12 million. Versatile arm, great clubhouse guy.
