Apparently MLB will be looking into the claims for some reason.

There are a bunch of umps still around from Lenny's playing days so they could fire Joe West or someone if they were involved. Or maybe they'll revoke the Mets '86 title.

For this reason alone, no expense should be spared.

Angel Hernandez begging people to believe he was bribed, not just really bad.

Stock Down: J.P. Crawford, SS, Philadelphia Phillies

2015 AFL Stats: 5 G, .150/.227/.150, 2 BB, 6 K, 0-of-1 SB

J.P. Crawford is probably the best prospect in the Arizona Fall League, but you wouldn't know it from his lackluster numbers at the plate. He's managed only three singles thus far and shown none of the plate discipline that has seen him walk (160) nearly as much as he's whiffed (163) over his minor league career.

Part of that could be due to an unnecessary change to his two-strike approach, as ESPN's Eric Longenhagen points out in the video above, or maybe, as Longenhagen suggests, Crawford is just exhausted.

While this doesn't change Crawford's long-term outlook, it is a bit troubling that he hasn't found success in an AFL that is light on elite pitching prospects.

Hard to believe we have three guys on the roster next year who weren't even born yet the last time we won a championship.

Mainly because it's not true, but whatever.

They pulled Crawford from the AFL...

J.P. Crawford's time in the Arizona Fall League has come to an end after just five games.

The Phillies' top prospect, ranked No. 5 on MLBPipeline.com's Top 100 Prospects list, was the highest-ranked prospect in the Fall League this season. Crawford went 3-for-20 (.150) with three singles, two walks and six strikeouts for the Glendale Desert Dogs.

The Phillies have not commented on the reason for Crawford's departure.

I'm hoping it's that he's tired and he doesn't have a mitochondrial disorder.

I bet if you go over to pp cd will have a post within 24 hours about how he fears Crawford might have a career ending injury that the phillies are hiding.

by **Monkeyboy** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 17:02:25

He had more ABs and games last year, so I'm not sure why he would be tired. But maybe he's got the flu or something and they just decided it wasn't worth it.

He had a bad July, but was solid again in August, so it's not like there were signs of him wearing down.

JP Crawford has slight tear in thumb ligament. No surgery. AFL season done. Injury immobilized. Will be 100 percent for ST.

The offseason, at least in terms of players, has sucked so far.

by **Wheels Tupay** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 20:17:47

im just going to assume his career is over

Hope it wasn't his hamate ligament
