My daughter wouldn't be able to keep a surprise gift for my wife a secret, much less keep character in a totally fabricated story.

Kids are honest, even to a fault.

Bobby Witt Jr is the consensus too guy at the moment. 5-tool SS, whose dad was a 16-year big leaguer.

Former Texas Ranger.

Is he projecting as a SS in the bigs, or will he make a move somewhere else? I can just see them ****ing with Modessi and his positions again, and he never ends up figuring it out.

Mondesi needs to worry about Nicky Lopez before anyone we haven't even drafted yet. The way Lopez is playing it won't be long before he's up here. I'm guessing one will end up at 2B and the other at SS.

Haven't some big league teams figured out that 2B doesn't require perfect defense so you'd put the second best defender at 3B or perhaps outfield?

Well he hasn't. It's true that from 12 to 23 what the mind and body go through. And basically going through at least one phase that can last a few years where the average person is actually insane. This act isn't forgivable. And he probably does it again. People who do that sort of thing don't usually stop after doing it once. It's probably who he is

It's the sickest addiction in a way. Two lives were ruined. There's no restitution in a case like this. They're both f**ked in the head now, and should both be put down. He's never gonna be right. She's never gonna be right

If there's one line that needs to be drawn in the sand as a society this has to be it. F**k him. F**k Oregon St. for letting him play. F**k his parents or family for not turning their backs on him so that he could go to prison where he belongs until someone Dahmer's him. And f**k any team that brings him in

I guess so, but valuing defense is usually the last thing you have to worry about with the Royals. I can't imagine anyone would question their commitment to putting an elite defense on the field.

Now you're getting a little ridiculous. **** his parents for not turning their back on their 15 year old son?

Maybe so. But I haven't done anything as ridiculous as what he's done. Several years ago my friend's brother got into similar trouble. He opened up a photography studio in a small town south of KC with a friend of his. They were the only one in town. And obviously technology wasn't anywhere near what it is today

So most of the people in town that wanted professional photography went there if they didn't want to drive closer to the metro. A lot of business from high school students went his way. I'm not sure exactly how many 14 to 17 year old girls he took naked pics of. He was busted by taking a disc of all of the nudes that he had done to someone who he thought could get them either work as models for the ones who would do it, or was trying to sell the pics. However it was the guy asked for a copy of if he could have the disc to show someone to get a deal done. The guy immediately took the illegal material to the police

My friend's brother was arrested. His business partner was lucky enough to prove that he had no idea of what was going on and didn't face any charges. I remember one time we were all having dinner while the trial was going on. I asked how he was doing in jail. The mood in the room shifted. There was silence for a few minutes

Then his dad told me that they didn't know as they did what any person should do in a situation such as that one, and turn their back. At the time and being a lot younger I was kinda pissed that they were so cold about it. The brother had gotten some girl that was still in high school pregnant. She was like 15, 16. They got married. Had a few more kids together

We all thought that it was a little odd. It made perfect sense once he was arrested how bad his issues were. Now that I'm older I understand where his family was coming from a lot better now. And what he did was obviously very wrong. Not to the degree as this ball player. So if a lesser crime gets a family, friends, and everyone else a guys knows to move on, then a much harsher crime deserves at least the same treatment

From WS champs to putting the Repository thread on ignore in less than 3 years.

Well, it's not like these threads have ever been great... at least when people cry now, they have something to cry about.

These threads and the Royals GDT were the best threads on this site for a few years. Pray 4 Mahomes to right the ship.

Keller with another great performance today. Looking legit.

I see our hitting frenzy continues
