  1. Thankyou Broch. I will be on the lookout. Thanks for all you guys do!
  2. Thankyou for the insight John. How long will you be there sir? This will be my 10th spring training. Hands down my favorite few weeks of every year. I've been blessed to make many new friends down at the Fort.
  3. Kinda funny story....I was introduced ti him when he first came to spring training by a batting coach...this was before he was on many maps. Me being the idiot I am asked "who are you?"...hadn't seen him play yet. Anyways after talking with him for a bit I loved the young man. Spoke with the coach after and he explained what a talent and even better person he is. Then I watched him play a handful of games and as I stated before superstar written all over him..and humble. We got to talk again and we just laughed at it. Just takes me as person that would be great at anything he tried.
  4. I agree. And I would not bet against him. May never be an everyday starter...not everyone can. But he has real value to the team. He has improved many times in his minor league career. Just because he has a high BABIP does not mean he can not adjust or continue to be an above average player. Solid utility player and good teammate. He has already proven many wrong..and I believe will continue to do so.
  5. Yes I'd envision if needed Julien would play 1st base before we turned to Polanco to man the cold corner.
  6. Best article AND comments of all time!
  7. I definitely must look threw bright rose colored glasses. Each player listed has a solid chance in my view to meet and exceed in many cases these goals. I don't see any of them being aggressive by any means on an individual per player basis. Not all will, but I mean Correa is still the same player with the same ankle he has had for the past how many years....Buxton I just feel will put a "healthy" season together at some point...but definitely would love to cut down on the strikeouts. The Gallo one scares me the most honestly. Not sure what to expect from him. Great write up.
  8. My question to anybody that may have input on him or an opinion. Wasn't he a top 100 global prospect back with Toronto..maybe even top 50 by mlb? If so why the drop? Was it the bad year in 21 or just new pitchers added to lists..or something I am overlooking? Thanks
  9. Well said. I know others think he got a bump for being new to our system. But I feel fans would and do have him lower and subtract .because he is not asknown to us as other stated prospects. While the national pundits seem to like him more than many TD posters. I believe he will earn this ranking and more this year.
  10. I feel these are really quality prospects. Three high round draft picks, a large bonus international signing and Canterino was higher this time last year....for our 11-15 prospects is solid. In my opinion anyway. We shall see how they fair though.
  11. Great question. While I have been very high on Rodriquez and believe he will be a top 20 prospect this time next year. I've been able to watch him play alot and his Latin coaches speak very highly of his character leadership and tools. I havne seen or met Mercedes yet but have heard great attributes of him as well. We should have a much clearer view of them both this time next year considering they both stay healthy. However neither of them quite have a Buxton ceiling yet. We should see a big year from Emma.
  12. I know I can be very optimistic. But I honestly believe one of our starters will establish themselves as a solid number 1 this season. Plenty of options and opportunities arise.
  13. Yikes! I mean in a good way. Hard to pick out the best of this group. But I personally love Emma Rodriguez. That being said...lots of high end talent here.
  14. I'm sorry, but I strongly disagree with this take. Why do you consider Lopez to only have a cieling of a number 3 starter? How many #3 starters throw 180 innings these days? To say we got fleeced is just not true. Salas is not 4 years away either. So you are telling me you peg the Twins for 3rd place? I am wondering if you envisioned a 1st or 3rd place finish prior to the trade?
  15. But honestly you had 3 years to do so. Sounds like our FO said yes let's trade him you now since you were right about to buy a jersey
  16. Some really great people on staff. I've been blessed with an opportunity to get to know a few of these guys. Many of them are high character individuals.
  17. If I remember correctly..they were unable to align their schedules. Stayed in contact but unable to workout together unfortunately a lost opportunity.
  18. Well said! Unfortunately they will move on to something else to complain about...that is what they do. Many fans on here seam to only parrot the negative and worst case scenario. I feel sorry for those folks. But hey we are all entitled to our opinions.
  19. Ok..I was on the golf course. Wow! I am happy as hell. I do have to ask from the folks on here that wanted to move on from him or only do a one year contract at most. Am I being over excited, or is this still a bad deal. I honestly would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks
  20. No ...but he can play shortstop. How do you feel about this deal? Honestly asking. I know you were not interested in him for anything longer than one year contract.
  21. Donaldson is not and never will be like Bauer. He's actually a positive person and helps many. But ya..if you read he's a bad person by somebody that doesn't even know him...I guess it must be true.
