Any way.... Future Prima-donna battle: Watson vs. Acuña?

Still wish I could see all of it... should have purchased it when it was in the iTunes store.

I remember not wanting him to retire, and hoping he would come back next season.

Seems to me like its the product of the Marlins shitty hitting development staff.

Bleier, Thompson/Poteet, and Nicolas/Eder/McCambley for Angels' CF Brandon Marsh. They need pitching. Who says no??

Technically he's Venezuelan (his parents are). He WAS born in Lima, Peru though. So more Arepa Power?

It's not that bad. But then again, I be in the stands and not the mound. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Maybe. What about Isan? He makes me cry watching him play. Why haven't the Marlins cancelled his existence?

Yeah, if you watch the whole interview it softens the blow. The original tweet had just that question and answer (way worse),

Found it! https://www.highschoolot.com/kahlil-watson-this-is-a-dream-come-true-im-cherishing-it-for-sure/19768193/ The question is asked at 3:11 and the response in question is at 3:20

Thank you, kind sir lol @Michael

That would be the smart move. Not so sure this FO does this, though.

It was Kahlil in a short video answering a question with something close to "they better have my money" or "they better give me my money" while chewing gum in a very douchey way. Don't want to dislike the guy, but that's how it comes across.

I'm thinking he (or more likely, his agent) said it to coax out an offer from the Marlins - otherwise I don't think the Marlins were even thinking about doing it. It works to his benefit. He gets an extra offer and kind of sees where they're at (to make it a starting point as far as potential deals), then basically lets media and the fans view it as "cheap Marlins again" and that it just didn't work out (after all, he said he wanted to stay here - totally genuine and definitely not a strategy), then tests the FA market and gets any other team with bigger pockets to offer that 1 more year.

I think he's delusional if he really thinks he's even close to guaranteeing getting 5 to 6 Million or higher next time around in the draft, let alone now. Watson ain't getting #4 slot money. Sign now, or miss the chance to get $4.5 Million, big boy.

I'd be happy with Cedric Mullins. Looks like he can bunt for hits and hit for a lot of doubles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3Y77Ow3WWI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhiUwx5LLdQ

I hope it fuels him.

And what team signed him?

It would. Not completely though. I still don't like how cheap they seem and their lack of transparency.

Again, shouldn't the #1 pick (since he's a catcher) have been the best one then? Why are some saying our #31 is the best one? Awesome if true, but idk how they measure that.

I'm confused. Wouldn't Harry Ford be considered the best one since he was the first chosen? 12th overall.. Not sure how that works.

Didn't Urena hit him twice? First unintentional, then I think he stole a base?, then Urena hit him intentionally at another point in a different game.

Many would argue that the answer to that is subjective. Not everyone is going to agree. What does set the U.S. apart from every other nation is our rights and opportunities. Rights enshrined in our Constitution, and granted by God (not the government). The right to self-protect and defend against a possible tyrannical government with weapons. The right to free speech for the people and for the press (ability to critique presidents, politicians, law enforcement, etc..). Freedom of religion, and from persecution. The right to start different political parties. The opportunities for upwards mobility is unlike any other country. Land and home ownership. The choices, and abundance, of products and services available. The fact the U.S. helps countries all over the world. However, no country is perfect. These are just the positives. I know there's tons of negatives, but for millions everywhere it is worthy of being the "greatest".

Let's go Bender!! Do or die, baby!
