    He pitched 3 innings in that series... Give me a break LOL

    I'm on the other side of the spectrum - I'd say there's a 30% chance he dominates. I usually love the typical "starter turned reliever project" when the stuff is good, but Paddack seems to give up lots of hits, regardless. Right there with you on everything else though, and hope you're right!

    From 1 to 100, what do you place the likelihood of Paddock actually dominating out of the pen? Genuinely curious to know how realistic you feel this is.

    Luis Rivas was signed as an international free agent Edit: "getting traded FROM the Twins" - I see now!

    Players become eligible after X amount of years after signing with their team (based on their age when they sign). That being said, any team would prefer to have 0 players eligible for the Rule 5 in any given year. To put it simply, if you have no players eligible (obviously unlikely), there is 0 risk of losing talent within your organization. Perhaps I misunderstood your reply, but I don't see any situation arising where a team would be happy to have lots of players eligible or selected from their team via Rule 5 draft.
  16. Devilsadvocate
    Idk about you but I'd much prefer to have as few players eligible for the Role 5 as possible. It keeps talent in the organization.

    To be fair, Jenkins could elect to be a free agent well prior to turning 27, so the chances of this happening are close to 0.

    Believe he's also Rule 5 eligible after the season as well

    Except this guy has a legit starter's frame. He's 17. Excited to say the least.

    There's other OF options currently on the 40 man roster that they want ABs for. Longer term players. Adding Stevenson to the 40 man also means you need to free up a spot via DFA or otherwise of someone currently on the 40 man.

    Don't give yourself too much credit, my day was ruined before reading your comment. I just don't understand the idea of stating that not all prospects pan out and that injury can take place at any time. Both statements are correct but what's the point of stating something that everyone already knows for a fact?
  33. Devilsadvocate
    I don't understand what this comment does to contribute to the conversation. Idk, maybe I'm just having a bad day.

    Actually if you pro rate his per game strikeout numbers in college (.87) over 150 games that would equate to 130 K's. With minor league pitching being better than college pitching from an overall perspective, I think it was completely reasonably to expect 150 K's+ at any level above college and I think many here expected lots of whiffs.
  35. Devilsadvocate
    I have a fair amount of confidence in Nick G. Dude was one of the better players on the team for much of the second half and didn't suck at any point when he got consistent playing time. Sure, he can't hit lefties but he's improved a great deal over the last few years.
