Just correcting the facts. The fraud case is also civil, not criminal genius. It’s hilariously ironic that you keep referring to me as a flat earther when you can’t seem to get any of the facts straight.
Haha wow, for someone that doesn't want to talk about an off topic you really like talking about it. Here are the facts bud, not your alternative facts that you MAGA cult people try to bring up. Your orange cult leader has lost 3 civil trials so far. 1. The liable rape trial, that was about 8 million bucks. 2. Basically an extention of the rape trial where the orangutan couldn't keep his mouth shut so about 85 million bucks for defamation. 3. The the New York fraud trial, jury found your fake spray tan leader guilty for about 455 million. So far he's batting 0-3 lol, oh for voting fraud about 60 judges said nope lol, even judges he elected
So that's like 0-63. That's like the batting average of a DD player trying to play Franchise on Legend lol. It doesn't matter dude, if Trump is found criminally guilty in Georgia you're gonna say that's its fake news or something else to justify your maga cult feelings that he's innocent. And I'm not calling you a flat earther or sovereign citizen, I'm saying you have their mentality. You live in an alternate reality with alternate "facts" that you tell yourself to justify your cultist nature. So make sure you maga people buy Trump's ugly golden shoes because he's BROKE, he needs money to pay for his legal battles or else he'll have to file for bankruptcy again. Alright guys, it's a new season, I'll be here all year, please tip your waiter and try the veal or for DD players try the hot pokets

Josh appears to be more interested in stirring the pot than discussing baseball. Josh needs to go to Huffington Post, or some other political site.

0-63 is pretty shitty batting average and most DD players couldn’t play franchise with a real simulation set of sliders to save their lives.

I play DD on All Star and when I go into my franchise which I played on All Star this year thanks to no wind sometimes it’s rough to get anything going.

I'm basically a unicorn, I play Franchise from Spring Training, every pitch until the October on Legend with maxed out pitched speeds with matured Sim Sliders I get from Operation Sports with my own tweaking.

I’m usually play on HOF. That’s where I max out on Dynamic. I found a slider set for All Star+ and rode with those. I wish wind comes back and removal for offline modes was an error. I found playing at Dodger Stadium very early 1900s while on HOF. Lots of 1-0 extra inning games.

I’d be all for the Braves signing him,

@joshjays44 still better than what we have now. But this kind of post is probably what OP wanted to avoid.

Wow. That lasted long. Third post and we're already off topic. Guess before this gets shutdown; I can at least thank @broken_toy1 for having a discussion.
Guess certain people want to watch the world burn.
everyone should block that joshjay guy. He's a troll with nothing positive or worthwhile to add. I've had him blocked for months and been better off for it. I don't just block anyone either.
-
I find this thread to be pretty silly.
The OP is basically saying "Ignore all the stuff that are a negative of bringing in Bauer and only focus on the positive parts when discussing". Like yeah, what an easy way to win a discussion/argument if you phrase it that way

I disagree. I believe he's saying don't be vulgar or discourteous. Not, "ignore the elephant."
I do believe it's a little disingenuous to immediately put aspersions to OP's motivation. Considering he put a good question forth, I think it's something we should be able to talk about, as adults, acting like adults.
Would you want Bauer on your favorite team? Why? Why not? That's what you should be answering.
-
@broken_toy1 He limited our discussion to this "Discuss without bringing up anything besides playing baseball.",
So I can only talk about wanting or not wanting Bauer on my team in the context of baseball is what he is saying. He wrote it right up there. That sentence boils down to, "Only comment on whether he would be good at baseball or not"
That is the way I read it, if you can point out to me what I'm missing, I'll try and answer as genuine as I can

@joshjays44 The burden of proof is low for civil matters. He was never charged criminally for rape. He hasn’t even been charged with insurrection either. Facts matter. TDS
Actually facts,proof,and charges/convictions never matter in the court of public opinion.
What he did or didn't do is irrelevant,what matters is the perception of him,
His career is over ,he is too volatile for anyone to take that risk,he is paying the price of fame,and of not being careful to protect his image. -

Hey bud, I help franchise people out but that's seldom cause this fourm is filled with DD casuals so I have a little fun

If he was a normal civilian he could of stayed under the radar and keep doing his shady business and ripping people off. Now he's going to be battling court cases for the few remaining days he has left and probably go bankrupt once again. I just hope he doesn't take America down with him, you guys are better than that.

I didn't want anyone to ignore what happened. I just didn't want this thread turning onto an argument between others. But that idea was thrown out the window with the third or fourth comment and, I'm not going yo name names, but fuel keeps getting added to the fire with all the political posts.
Edit: we have almost two pages of posts here end I can count on my hand, and still have fingers left over, the number of posts thst are about baseball. The majority kf the rest turned into two to three people arguing about politics.
That's not what I wanted. I wanted a baseball discussion. If it included what happened, then so be it.
I just didn't want that aspect, or the aspect that is present now, being the majority of this thread.
But I guess a few people would rather watch the world burn than have an adult conversation about baseball.

Let's gooooooo! Just kidding. I know people thought it was me who got the other thread shut down.
Your starting premise is flawed because the PRIMARY REASON nobody will sign him has everything to do with off-the-field stuff.
No team just gets "a decent pitcher" -- they get all the fun stuff that comes along with TB. And looking at easy-to-find career comps, at his age, it just ain't worth it.
There is no universe where you can separate him as a pitcher from him as a PR nightmare. Sorry.
-
His stats after they started checking for sticky stuff regressed back to what he was before 2020. In the 4 starts his ERA was 3.45 and WHIP was 1.45 so without his SpiderTack he was back to a normal average pitcher. That also makes a difference.
