Baseball Transfer Portal

Is it weird that transfers get more threads about them than players that are staying? Could more threads be solution to making them want to stay?

Players don't lose sleep over message boards.

Players don't lose sleep over message boards.

I have always believed that. Players know that most of us participating here have little athletic ability or knowledge of the game compared to them. Therefore they don’t worry much about what is posted on fan boards. Still I recommend players, coaches, and families of both not even bother visiting here. I don’t see anything to be gained by doing so. Their energy is better spent trying to improve individually and as a team. Administrators on the other hand should monitor these at least. Beyond getting a pulse of the fan base, a good idea may be proposed here.

Yeah, I didn't include coaches in my statement. Finding a good idea is a longshot, but that won't stop them.

Good idea coming from here that a coach or player will listen to is virtually impossible to imagine. Much more likely for a promotion idea to be suggested which an administration should consider.

If they do lose sleep, then they really can't handle hostile road crowds or any kind of adversity.

Colton Frank also in the portal.

The roster crunch is going to be interesting.

[talktomewillis]

Simple math.

33 on the 2019 roster
Add 16 signees

That's 49. It looks like you can subtract seven or eight that will not return.

[Dad04]

After the super short draft, there may be additional incoming.

Interesting program on Dr. Oz this morning. He had motivational guru Tony Robbins on to offer tips to deal with the illegal home confinement. One of his recommendations was to visualize success. He used free throws as an example. I do believe you become whatever you can visualize to a large extent. Visualize your success and take the appropriate steps to be ready. That's very similar to some Robe saying you have to work to be ready to seize opportunity.

Two very successful con men.
Ironic that they’d be giving advice on a perceived con job.
