    I like it for TEX, I don't think they're done adding yet either.
  3. DuckDuckGose
    I'd do that deal but, DET would need the incentive of a BP piece to pull the trigger on any Porcello deal IMO.
  4. DuckDuckGose
    slashes mean or not and...
  5. DuckDuckGose
    I can't see anyone giving up a truly elite pitching prospect, like a Wheeler, for Porcello even if he may warrant that type of player in return.
  6. DuckDuckGose
    I read somewhere (here?) DET is sending TEX $40M.
  7. DuckDuckGose
    Ask him what he thinks about the numbers? I wonder why he gets a lot of K's looking...
  8. DuckDuckGose
    Everyone is trying to shuffle payroll for FA right now.
  9. DuckDuckGose
    Would Buehrle and Janssen/Delabar/Cecil + Nolin land you Porcello?
  10. DuckDuckGose
    I didn't think it was actually happening!
  11. DuckDuckGose
    Oh, done? Too slow I guess....
  12. DuckDuckGose
    To TEX: Fielder + Bautista To TOR: Scherzer + Holland To DET: Kinsler + Buehrle + Janssen

    If you read; without, it sounds kind of harsh.
  14. DuckDuckGose
    Good read ace, keep 'em coming.

    I'm confused why Selig should have to testify...? It's not as if the league hasn't let A-Rod know why he is being suspended for so long.
  16. DuckDuckGose
    Just go with Goins then. Doesn't seem like there will be a big gap between their bats anyways.

    Every pitcher gets hurt. Not every pitcher is on the Kerry Wood trajectory.

    It was definitely elite stuff, I don't know if it was hands down better than guys like Verlander were throwing at the MLB level. I'm just saying I'd take the guy doing it at the MLB level without the red flags over the college senior. However, this part is highly debatable. If ypu are talking pure stuff/upside Strasburg at 21 wins. I think Fernandez because there is less risk and he still has incredible stuff with immense upside. Fernandez is going to get hurt. It's more of a question of when he misses significant time, not if. I think he is going to be a perennial top 10 Cy finisher. How is that not a generational talent? I think you are restricting the term to the Trout's and Bond's of the world. I guess I;m far more liberal with the term.

    Ya, we've been spoiled lately. Definitely a great time to be a fan of the game.

    Historically great college season at 21 or dominant rookie MLB season in which you finish 3rd in Cy Young voting? IMO you take the MLB season 10/10 to,es, especially given Strasburg's injury concerns even at that point in his career. So, yes, I really don't think it's debatable; Fernandez @ 21yo > Strasburg @ 21yo. Perhaps the highest regarded college senior ever drafted. I don't think that equates to vest pitching prospect ever though. Except the injury was highly predictable and the stuff could not be maintained. (some obvious hindsight in that point though) It's an arbitrary term that is used to describe a range of results and talent levels. I apologize if I wasn't clear enough in my definition but, IMO I've used it within the scope of it's common usage.
  21. DuckDuckGose
    Settle down. No one compared Fernandez to Trout.
  22. DuckDuckGose
    Fernandez had a better year at 21 than Strasburg (even if it was only marginally better than his 2012 season) has been able to put up in his young career, doesn't have the same injury concerns, can touch 100mph, sits mid 90's with the FB. and has made some MLB hitters look foolish with his secondary stuff. I wouldn't call it hyperbole at all, Fernandez is the real deal. I don't really get the point though, Strasburg is a great talent in his own right, the fact that you are comparing the two is a huge compliment. Additionally, I didn't mean generational talent as in once in a generation player (like Bonds and Trout) I meant the type of talent (in the case CY Young calibre) that organizations tend to draft and develop once in a generation.
  23. DuckDuckGose
    Ya, I'm a big Miller fan but Fernandez is a generational talent.
  24. DuckDuckGose
    How many here would trade Bautista for Holland and Sardinas/Odor?
  25. DuckDuckGose
