Fastest man in baseball?
Yup

The best Blue Jays in S3SL ever?
Oh yeah

Hall of Fame?
He better

Icon of Baseball?
Maybe

The greatest of all-time?
only Ricky would say that

Hall of Famer based on complete stats, especially for the position, no brainer. But not even close to the best ever in the league. Hard to top Beckett, Morabito, Azevedo, or Weeks

And The Moustache might re-define EVERYTHING.

Come to think of it, maybe Galeana cursed the Phillies when I traded him.

We in Philly salute you Paul Galeana. Thank you for your contributions in Philly years ago.

In other news, Paul Galeana and Vlad Ulyanov scheduled their wedding in MA and will ride off into the sunset on their yacht for a tour across the world.

[OrioleMagic]

Just like the well-known fact that cowboys can't be gay... negating any validity to the movie Brokeback Mountain, a future HOFer like Galeana can't be gay either. Your remarks need to be reserved for Californians, certain New Yorkers, and obviously some Bostonians.

Galena's 2022 season was amazing.

That's alright, Azevedo doesn't need them. He is taking a rocket powered dune buggy straight to the moon!

Mission at least stopped Barbosa from setting some insane record for triples. He was averaging 20 plus until the engine changes.

Slyder's dude is going to be a 300 game winner easy if Slyder sticks to a four man rotation or at least stops sitting him in the month of September. If if if if.

Rolland Michel is going to be a 500 HR 1000 SB guy, that's impressive.

[OrioleMagic]

May I ask what year these "engine changes" occurred?

[General]

Azevedo is a freak and is therefore ineligible for the Vlad Ulyanov love boat.

Morabito is, however, invited.

[Kingdom]

May I ask what year these "engine changes" occurred?

When pitchers started logging 300 innings. He made things retro, players had a longer life span, more emphasis on pitching and stealing, etc.

[Fishercat]

Galeana was an absolute hoss, best draft pick I/we ever made (well, I think I made it, that should have been after we went to manual drafts). William Sailer didn't turn out that badly either though and I know that was a manual pick.

Darrin Pressnell should have been the next Galeana in SB terms, and then he decided to go from a 6 to 4 in contact.

[General]

Yeah, Pressnell sucked my cooter.

In other news, welcome back from the dead!

[missionhockey21]

Pretty much my expression when I saw Fish's post:



Welcome back man! How's life, are you about ready to finish up school or are you already working?
