    Getting #73 correct requires good insight and sources. Kudos.

    The next Craig Nettles will be the first. /spoiler: it's "Graig"

    I am undecided whether I don't care about this news because I don't care that much about the ASG, orI don't care that much about the ASG because of news like this.

    Ah, that's a very good point. And not just the $$$ a player wants, but the slot value from drafting in a certain position. So you don't necessarily want a guy who drops, if he still expects the bigger money, unless you have a way to manage it. So the way I said it (who would they personally take at #1, or at #2...) doesn't quite do it. Wheels within wheels.

    I have seen various formats for mock drafts and so forth, but have you tackled this question: what is your guess of the ranking the Twins have for themselves, taking everything (best player available, organizational need) into account, all the way from 1 through 6? Who would they take if they picked #1, who would they take second if that guy was gone, and so on. In a draft like this year's, every team may literally have a different ordering (some players in one team's top 6 that don't appear in another's). Teams down the line have to be ready. Armed with such a ranking, we'd presumably be mimicking the Twins' thought process - if the players happen to go in the order the Twins rank them, so be it, they take #6 and are happy - if multiple players on the list are available then they know which one to take without a bunch of debate and drama in the style Brad Pitt showed us in Moneyball, or in that stupid recent movie about the NFL, Draft Day.

    How come you didn't provided embedded links to the actual threads for each player, in your list, always33? / I keed, I keed

    I am sure a reply will be forthcoming shortly. http://www.americanspanishsulphur.org/horse-reading.jpg

    Too much more of this catering to the masses and Terry Ryan's going to be fired for dereliction of duty. As for "acceptable" offense, the bar's pretty high for a 1B/DH. Try .260/.330/.450. He's young so I won't throw a fit if he comes up a little short but is seen as making progress.

    Me too, but I doubt Ottawa (Can-Am Assn) would take on Stauffer's salary.
  10. ashbury
    I was expecting Ish Alert to be at 10 for that.
  11. ashbury
    Possibly, possibly not. You and I do not know his attire, for example.

    Shhhh. That's just their pet name for it.
  14. ashbury
    But some of the things we said about Pelfrey last season ("he still seems to be getting over TJS"), we are not saying about Stauffer this season.

    It's really an unfair advantage having Brooks Robinson playing third for us this afternoon, isn't it?

    He's not just the president of Viagra Club for Men, he's also a client!

    Rosario looked like a lefty batter facing a lefty specialist, on that'un.
  18. ashbury
    He's got this.
  19. ashbury
    How'd we ever get in first place, if that's the jinx?
  20. ashbury
    Command isn't quite the same thing as control, and in my limited experience watching Meyer he hasn't put the ball consistently where he (surely) wants it. That may or may not translate into BB/9 numbers. I think that might account for people talking past one another on this.
  21. ashbury
    Stick a fork in Stringer. He's done.
  22. ashbury
    1901 is the new 1492.
  23. ashbury
    Super! This means you are educable in addition to being estimable.
  24. ashbury
    I can't argue against those two guys, either by performance or by age. But they're not my AAPs.
  25. ashbury
    Yeah, we can't know who they are homing in on. It's a harder task but we want to know their top 6, and in what order. I don't want to know a top 7 or 8, and I don't want to know that some of these top 6 are essentially tied. Because that isn't how I'd approach it if I were in charge of their draft. I don't have any particular insight to either of these question, of course. Then the rest is up to the other teams.
