    Best part about this is that we now have a Mennonite on the team. A totally untapped TV market in the majors.

    I remember Rasmussen when he was with Cole and Bauer on that 2010 UCLA finalist team. Undersized, throws some nice breaking stuff. Could be a lefty specialist if he fails as a back of the rotation guy. One thing I said about AA is true...he hates to have empty spots on his 40 man. He's on the 40 but he's got his options. We'll start him in Buffalo and if he fails he gets moved to the pen or off of the 40.

    Yankees have become a bit of a fan favourite...they just take players from other teams now.

    it's right about this time that he started leaving the house with his ignorance showing ...
  5. TheHurl
    Makes total sense. He hates to leave spots on the 40 man empty and he loves to add useless bats who used to look like they have potential. Lets not forget that he loves guys that are out of options. Although he doesn't strike out...maybe he's not an AA guy

    JPA to the M's for Carlos Triunfel. You heard it here first.
  7. TheHurl
    M's so he can be in Nashville with his bride.

    He hits lefties just fine and moves to RF when Barnes plays. Barnes is twice the CF that Blackmon is.
  9. TheHurl
    keeps players affordable as an added bonus. Injuries usually force these players into too many AB's in their weaker position but that's why you do it with good defensive players like Barnes.

    As a Fowler owner...don't like the deal. I think Barnes kills lefties in Colorado. Can play the field, he and Dickerson in a platoon out-perform Fowler. True platoons, everyone is doing them...well except for AA

    This probably hurts my prediction that Knebel will be closing by September.

    I wonder if Choice can be a lower K guy and a big power guy, but I like his chances better in Texas than in Oakland. Oakland won't bend as much as Texas did on Gentry's splits. He'll see 60 to 70% lefties IMO and do well there in 150 PA. Stops Seth Smith from seeing lefties too.
  13. TheHurl
    Of course the jays are infatuated with him, AA looked at the innings pitched and assumed he's a reliever.

    Hinske hired as the Cubs firstbase coach

    I'd like to add that Cincy made out like bandits here. They have a pretty damn good catching tandem themselves and get Holmberg for the extra piece. A 22 year old that has thrown over 150 innings three straight years is my kind of pitcher. I see him as a Mark Buehrle type.
  16. TheHurl
    He's not even Arbitration eligible yet is he?
  17. TheHurl
    Pretty sure that would still be Lucroy and Maldonado. Edit: Noticed you explained yourself. I'd like to add that Maldonado on his own might be a better framer and catcher than Hanigan. Considering I don't think the Brewers really have a clue in this regard it would seem they just lucked into the two of them.
  18. TheHurl
    Nats tried for Price...wouldn't move Rendon. Settled on Fister...who knew they'd be able to steal him as the Tigers were desperate for a utility infielder. I like Ray...but he's a mid rotation guy best case scenario.
  19. TheHurl
    when the NL is done I'll send you all. Promise

    I look back to the Delmon trade though. last place team and they traded the former #1 prospect in baseball who just came off of a season where he was 2nd in rookie of the year voting, who just drove in 93 runs. They knew what his negative defensive value and inability to take a walk meant and they turned him into Garza and Bartlett. And this trade somehow doesn't go down as one of the best in baseball...when you factor in the balls it took it's huge. 3 seasons of both Bartlett and Garza at good prices where they produced a total of 15.9 fWAR for a negative value player.

    You know Trout went 25th overall right? The baseball draft is not such a great science we know that. From 1990 to 2010 the 20th slot in the draft has produced 15 MLB players, 12 of which have had 5 year MLB careers, 7 which had 10 year MLB careers (Out of a possible 13 that's pretty unreal) and has produced 263.8 career bWAR. In comparison to the 277.6 average of the top 3 that's very comparable. It's actually ahead of the average of 233.2 of the top 5 picks and well ahead of the 190.8 of the top 10. Yes I cherry picked the best low pick number. I could have chose pick 18 which has produced one all star (Dickey) and 18.2 Career bWAR but the point remains that being in the lower part of the 1st round is not an excuse for any team.

    Love seeing UB Catcher Tom Murphy on the Rockies list. He's going to swing and miss a bunch but he'll draw a walk and can catch.
  23. TheHurl
    My only suggestion here is that you make it more obvious that this is three different writers. Just a small sub-heading works
  24. TheHurl
    we will be doing our full poll again. With everyone's top 25 posted.
  25. TheHurl
    Poll locked but I'd have gone with Stroman. I'm much bigger on "likely to reach their ceiling" over the height of the ceiling.
