    This is the kind of unsubstantiated opinion that makes me roll my eyes (no offense). At age 24, in 2013, Chris Archer was the 44th rated minor league prospect, after a 2012 3.8 ERA at AAA, with around 9.5K/9 Nobody would've said that 2013 Chris Archer's ceiling was actual Chris Archer's performance Pitching is fickle. I think talking about pitchers' ceilings is silly. There are too many examples every year of "WTF" to convince me that modern analytics have a great handle on pitchers. At the end of the day, results matter. Certain previous results can indicate likelihood of future success, but ceilings of successful minor league pitchers still seem more art than science. Having said all that, I have NO PROBLEM trading either of those minor leaguers for Cole or Archer

    And yet, someone who signed a minor league deal last offseason, has just been declared the best FA reliever of this class

    I mean, if you go strictly on what they paid him, he should be around Enlow. Realistically, in an open market, as is the case with Intl free agents, you'll have to overpay a bit. So he's probably 4-5 spots worse than Enlow

    I like the idea of an increasing value on WAR 1st WAR - 3m 2nd WAR - 5m 3rd WAR - 7m 4th WAR - 9m 5th WAR - 10m So... a 2 WAR player would be worth 8m annually and a 4 WAR player would be worth 24m annually Maybe my escalation numbers are a little low, but you get the idea
  5. Whammy
    I'd guess mid to high teens
  6. Whammy
    I would say Lewis on 3rd, Polanco on 2nd, and Gordon at Short

    Did I miss when Rooker hit like Babe Ruth? It's such an incredibly small sample, for a college graduate, in leagues he should dominate.... and he still struck out 26% of the time. I mean, I like him as a prospect, but I feel like there's serious Rooker overhyping going on here (and yes... I know the "rooker is my whole top 5" post was a joke)

    Just for the sake of argument, let's say Darvish and Ohtani sign here on the same day... That passes Parise/Suter, right? I would argue, other than actual championships, it's the biggest moment in MN Sports history.

    I could have sworn there was a limit to the amount of FA money you could trade for (or trade away)
  10. Whammy
    Dozier: was that outside? Ump: (sheepish shoulder shrug) yeah, like a foot
  11. Whammy
    Chapman officially more two hand catches than Rosario this season. Wanted to make sure he secured that toss back from Sanchez
  12. Whammy
    Make that 8mph
  13. Whammy
    Chapman... only 4mph hotter than Hildy
  14. Whammy
    Then... Dylan Gee for the close?
  15. Whammy
    Pffft... Gimenez isn't burned yet
  16. Whammy
    That was a mercifully quick bottom of 8, for those of us that have mentally committed to watching until the bitter end
  17. Whammy
    Did Molitor just fire Granite?
  18. Whammy
    Missing the base? Can't make this up
  19. Whammy
    Gabriel Moya
  20. Whammy
    Nice throwing Booz
  21. Whammy
    And which was it.... a bonehead decision to throw or a good decision with a bad result
  22. Whammy
    I completely disagree that a good throw would've got Judge. He was running on the pitch. It would've had to be a perfect throw
  23. Whammy
    Would Hildenburger be on the Yankees Wild Card roster
  24. Whammy
    This bullpen.
  25. Whammy
    "... and he's out," he says with confidence.
