    Ooh, bold move by Colorado. How long ago was it that the Jays tried a four-man rotation? Five, six years ago? For the Rockies, it might not be a bad move. It's hard to pitch there... Allowing for bullpen-type concentration and pitch style from the starters might work for them, letting guys throw harder and ditch their usually subpar third and/or fourth pitch because they'll be facing fewer batters. For the Twins? I'm not really sold on the idea. Their problem is that they have lousy pitchers, not that they have too few pitchers.

    Sano easily would have been a first-rounder, probably top ten. There was huge buzz surrounding him and it was quite a surprise to see the Twins come out on top.

    The new and improved Snepp: now posting with 257% more quotation marks!

    Okay, I booted it up on another computer. I see what you're saying... It plays sound-less video. Not my favorite thing in the world but not terribly annoying, either. I'll check with the TwinsCentric guys and get their opinions.

    Good to know. I'm going to try booting the site on different computers and see what kind of ad results I get. Apparently, the site thinks I'm unemployed (technically, I guess I am) and almost exclusively delivers me Monster.com advertisements. What browser are you using, BTW? Type and version.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Is the video auto-playing with sound? If so, I certainly want to know immediately. That is a huge no-no in my opinion. Each person is delivered individual ads based on what the network feels is appropriate for you. I haven't seen any video yet so if you could keep me in the loop here, I'd appreciate it.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I think there's virtually a zero chance that Baker will get anything more than a one year, incentive-laden contract.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Definitely... I was trying to point out guys that had their primes before Morneau or Mauer hit the bigs. All three of the guys you mentioned are pretty consistent bats.

    This is a great idea, Seth. I'm a big fan of forum "games". I probably won't participate in this one but it's fun to keep an eye on which players people choose to adopt.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    I'd consider both Hunter and Koskie to be "consistent bats". Both had above league average bats for over a half decade.

    Jesus, Dave... JJ Hardy hits way too many homeruns to play shortstop. Everybody knows that.

    MLB's strategy has been quite different from the NFL in that everything they do digitally has had an emphasis on the MLB brand, not individual teams. I think this has to do with the split revenue system the MLB has historically employed. Until the digital age, teams basically fended for themselves. They signed their own stadium deals, negotiated their own television rights, sold their own jerseys, and had control over every aspect of their business. Given the disparity of revenue in baseball, MLB wisely took advantage of the emerging digital age to change that policy. If you look at team websites, they all redirect to an MLB subdomain. MLB.tv doesn't work for individual teams; it is run completely by MLB and revenue is dispersed equally (to my knowledge). The app is an MLB app and there are no team apps. The MLB Network is also in this vein. All of this is an attempt to consolidate revenue and disperse it equally between teams. Personally, I think it's a good idea that makes for a stronger MLB moving forward. The more money that MLB makes from digital content that is equally distributed between teams, the smaller the gap between the Yankees and A's revenue becomes in time.

    It makes sense to me. It's not as if the situation could really get any worse, could it?

    You'd be surprised how many people don't check certain forums or the front page. There are some rather significant changes coming to TD in the coming weeks and new people are going to be joining the forums. The idea is to join the forum content with the article content as closely as possible. While people have access to everything with one click, many don't notice or don't choose to click into those areas where content that interests them may exist. The forums aren't getting the traffic they should and this is an experiment to try to fix that. As with everything else at TD, your input is valued. Nothing is set in stone. If the general consensus is that the community doesn't like something, we will certainly change it.

    Moved to the On The Farm forum.

    I suspect that they expect you to use the MLB app. As far as I know, individual teams don't have apps.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    And there you go.

    Liriano isn't in line for the win... Burton got the last out in the seventh.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    No doubt about that one.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    That's why I chose to listen to the Pirates broadcast.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Almost certainly.

    I chose to listen to the Pirates broadcast.

    And Liriano stays at 1-7 for the season. Ouch.
