Twins could eat some of the salary to accommodate a partner that couldn't afford him otherwise. They could also maybe package him with someone else they want to dump (pelfrey, willingham, maybe even nolasco).
We need an adblock plus for TV I hate the political season. Seriously, tout your own plans and what you would do (assuming the plans actually make sense), but quit only putting out attack ads.
I'd like to see Gose take a step or so further towards the outfield when he takes his lead at 1st. His first step on a pickoff is towards the inner part of the diamond, so he's diving toward the inner edge of the bag rather than the outer edge which makes it easier to get tagged out.
Yeah, I know we have an organizational philosophy to draft up the middle (C, SS, CF, P), but when you hear that kind of bat speed with comps to Butler with better defense, it gets your attention.
I don't mind Wells. Sounds like the kind of guy you can strike gold on. Not so fond of this pick, but I don't think it's a bad one either. I just like some of the other guys on the board better.
I was only referring to the 1k - 5k guys since those are more realistically considered punted picks for cap space. If one or two of those actually produce major leaguers, it would be amazing.
The interesting thing about last year's cheap college guys to manipulate the cap is that Graveman and Girodo may actually turn out to be major leaguers. Hopefully we can find some more guys like that this year.
Apparently the Indians have already signed Sheffield. Talk about fast.
