Apparently Starling Marte is moving to CF?

 

[rangerssharks414]

Yeah. McCutchen's defense has been on the decline for a few years now.

When do minor league assignments normally come out? Like where the last year Short-Season A players will be.

I normally don't give a **** which is why I don't know, but a minor leaguer was interning where I work so it will be cool as hell to see how his career pans out.

Spring training generally.

This seems kind of odd. Not that Rickey wasn't the GOAT. He was but just seems strange to name a stadium after a player. At least one who didn't play like 100 years ago.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

They're renaming the field, not the stadium.

 

[Voight]

They're renaming the field, not the stadium.

This stuff happens in CFB all the time.

So it's like Rickey Henderson Field @ The Coliseum or something like that?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

They likely won't say it like that. Can't mess with those corporate bucks. Will likely just be something that is announced on broadcasts. They'll probably put a sign on the wall or something like that.

[Quid Pro Clowe]

[robert terwilliger]

pwn remembers the days before indoor plumbing when you had to take a lantern and a six-shooter to the can with you in the middle of the night.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

The stadium's not that old.

At Wrigley you peed in troughs until just a few short years ago. It was so disgusting.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Troughs rule. They cut down on time waiting to **** BIG time.
