    I try to avoid using Yankees contracts as proof of anything because they're stupid with money. Really, really stupid with money. Thankfully, their saving grace is that they have a bottomless pit of money. Jacoby Ellsbury. I still can't believe people defended that contract. I damned near fell out of my chair in hysterical laughter when I read the details.

    Yeah, that was a failure on everyone's part. http://api.ning.com/files/uPp1xVKsh5GHKiNVlvlgCY3PvEpTVqjgrxEDR7fmUbrq7r*wESVzpSG7gWcPj0iuSGJd6BICx6oBy4x4QwePJYnbvx9K1YOJ/whatwehaveherecoolhandlukede2.jpg

    There's the Aaron Hicks we know and don't love.

    More bunts like that. Less bunts that result in an automatic out. I don't care whether it worked or not, that was a savvy play. Fresh off a homer with two outs, that's the last thing the opposing team is expecting and it required a fantastic defensive play to get the out. That's the kind of baseball I expected when Molitor was hired, not that asinine "move the runner over" crap we've seen.

    Is it slow for you? It's pretty snappy for me so if anyone is having issues, let me know. I did clear the cache about 20 minutes ago so that may have caused some temporary speed issues.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    A HIT!
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Not elite yet, no. His 2014 is dragging him down. He'll need to finish 2015 strong and do the same in 2016.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    I'd play fast and loose with Arcia and Vargas but Kepler is just getting his feet under him. Due to growing up in Germany and getting injured, I think slow and steady is the right path for Max.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Hunter catches that standing. Blindfolded. Twice.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    I know the stats are readily available but Kepler's line at AA is worth posting: .331 .412 .521 .933 294 PAs 35 BB 37 SO (!) As a 22 year old in AA with fringy up-the-middle skills, that approaches "elite prospect" territory. The only major ding on him as a player is that he didn't have a very good season in 2014.

    More than that. If you want to dive into one of the longest threads in TD history, there's A LOT of discussion here: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/19271-article-twins-rockies-talk-tulowitzki/page-23

    Nobody thought Trout would be anything like the player he is today. Nobody.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    It's a good thing 2015 Albert Pujols is not 2010 Albert Pujols or the score would be 2-0 right now.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Prospect lists haven't caught up with Kepler yet. MLB GMs will not suffer the same problem. Kepler is showing the massive upside the Twins thought he had when they signed him out of Germany. But you're right, if the Yankees get into the mix, they could easily drive up the price with a bevy of good prospects. If I was Ryan, I'd bow out the moment a bidding war started. The risk in Tulo is too great to overpay for him and there's too much to lose if you're wrong.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    He was tired. Grass is soft. In all seriousness, I think Hicks is going to always be "that guy" who drives you nuts on occasion because he takes a play off or doesn't hustle. As long as it doesn't happen too often, I can live with it.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I think the Yankees would have to offer both Severino and Judge to match Berrios and Kepler. Severino is a stud and I'd probably take him over Berrios but Judge... Eh, I'd go with the huge upside of Kepler over Judge. I've always been slightly skeptical of Kepler but his contact ability, discipline, and potential as a centerfielder won me over. Judge has to rake to be a good player but Kepler has an outside shot at being a fringy centerfielder in the majors, which makes it a lot easier to get production out of him. Also, Kepler is nearly a full year younger. Agreed on the Mets. If they want to get into the mix, they could win Tulo (really, so could the Twins, but Ryan isn't trading Buxton or Sano).
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Not to mention that you also free up $20m to sign some pretty good players. A team could look pretty good in 2016-2017 with Gibson/Berrios, Polanco, Kepler/Walker, and $20m.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    It didn't work from the Twins' side of things. It wasn't until I started rearranging multiple pieces that I saw a way to make it work. I'm still not 100% sold on the idea. It's a big gamble... But it sure is interesting.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I know nothing of the Rockies' financials but yeah, there's a good chance they're in no hurry to trade Tulowitzki at all.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    He had no greater injury risk than any other healthy player. Tulo can't say the same. He missed half his team's games from 2012-2014. Santana was as much of a sure thing as one can find in a pitcher at the time of the trade. He never started fewer than 33 games after entering the rotation to start a season.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't know. It's not far from the Johan deal and Santana was the best pitcher in baseball with no injury risk. He was also two years younger. All three players are on the cusp of MLB (unlike the Johan deal). Berrios is a 30-ish prospect. Polanco is a fringe 100. Kepler is pretty much a lock to creep into the 75 range this offseason (that kid is seriously raking at an advanced level). On top of that, who in baseball needs a SS and can even match that offer?
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't see the Rockies getting a top ten prospect from the Twins or anyone else, not with the money he's owed over the next several years (which is why I think cash considerations will not be part of the deal). Prospects, especially blue chippers, are just too highly prized in today's game and there's a lot of risk coming along with Tulo: age, injuries, money.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm seeing this game as a 2:30 central start. Does MLB have that wrong?
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    That's very possible. We step into the world of pure hypothesis in that regard. If I was the Rockies, I'd tell Ryan to pound sand if he wants cash included in the deal.
