If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Here are his stats since Aug 5:
.394/.575/.708, 8 2B, 11 HR, 34 RBI, 36 R, 59/21 BB/K, 137 AB, 200 PA. His walk rate during this period is 29.5% (!!).
Currently, he is 2nd in OPS in MLB behind Harper after he led MLB in OPS in 2020.

According to Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes, Juan Soto turned down a 13-year, $350 million contract extension offer from the Nationals prior to the lockout.
Soto did confirm the report: "Yes, they made me the offer a couple of months ago, before the strike we have in baseball," the young slugger told ESPN on Wednesday. "But right now, me and my agents think the best option is to go year after year and wait for free agency. My agent, Scott Boras, is in control of that situation." The extension would have carried an average annual salary of nearly $27 million and contained no deferred money, per Rojas. Soto is arbitration-eligible for the second time in 2022 and is currently slated to reach the free agent market at the conclusion of the 2024 season.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I know how it sounds to put forth any kind of optimism after one decent ST outing for a pitcher, but Corbin looked decent against he Marlins today. He went 4 IP, struck out 4, no ER, no walks. I know there is no way that the likely opening day starter for the Nationals (what a sorry state of affairs that is) is ever close to what he was at his peak. But I can't help but see deep sleeper potential for him. No one wants the guy, and who would after last year? But IDK, I kinda feel he could bounce back to not being a total waste of a roster spot this year. Anyone else mildly interested in Corbin this year (as in, a top 80 mixed league SP, top 40 NL SP), or am I being too quick to jump on one decent outing and some praise from the coach? Maybe, but I still know I'd rather take the gamble on him over his teammate, Stras, whose adp is 30 spots higher than Corbin's.

The line-up he faced was not awe inspiring. I need to see more before I would consider him but yeah if the opportunity to get him cheap and see something that convinces you a return to pre 2020 I would be interested. I just haven't seen it yet.

Originally posted by pitbull View PostWasn't his average velocity the highest in his career last year? Rotowire shows his fastball at 92.5 last season and that shows the highest since he started in 2012.
