    Fair enough; I debated even throwing that out there, it's not really more than a first impression, and I can't pretend I know what goes on between his ears.

    The short clip I saw so far doesn't look like a man who feels confident - sighing and groping for words. I think the coaching staff has some work cut out for them starting in February.

    Sounds more like a difference between major leaguer versus career minor leaguer, than starter versus reliever.

    I misread my Pacific coast clock and thought it was already underway.
  6. ashbury
    Is there a live feed for the press conference?
  7. ashbury
    Or the all-too-often, "well, at least I won't have to face any of those guys a third time tonight."

    I think I'd rather have Will Smith than Aoki. So if he would have cost the Twins a similar price, probably no.

    The Similarity Scores found at b-r.com are just for fun; still, it's a little intriguing to see among the "most similar at age 25" Ben Oglivie and George Foster. Imagine catching lightning in a bottle like that. Of course you could also end up with the next Chet Ross.

    With that rule in place, why would the player ever accept the first offer?
  11. ashbury
    Or, "Ask the Federal Correction Facility".

    MLBTR points out the FL vs MN sales tax difference. That plus it being his home state, probably meant that Twins had to significantly outbid the Fish to get him

    I must be missing something. The comments I've seen on Pinto range from "ready for MLB starting job right now" to "needs a season of AAA, his defense is still not where it should be". Can't recall anything worse than that, let alone "hopeless".

    And this one quickly got covered too...

    Good job. First question asked, by the Channel 5 guy.

    I'd ask if I could use it to remodel my retirement fund.

    Isn't there a $20M windfall (TV revenue?) for each team starting this year? Maybe the As are approaching it as a chance to spend on an individual player or two, rather than spread it around more thinly. And Hudson for whatever reason (age?) wasn't to their liking for that expenditure.

    To my mild surprise, an interesting story arose from that incident...
  20. ashbury
    You can have too many pitchers who are out of minor league options. I think we're about at that point now.
  21. ashbury
    MLBTR has it as a one-year deal for 8.25 with the Bosox.
  22. ashbury
    It's funny because it's true.
  23. ashbury
    Appears that Hanigan is headed to Tampa, anyway.
  24. ashbury
    No rule in Moneyball prohibits acquiring an "effective reliever" though. If they had soured on Weeks, particularly his defense, then converting an inadequate infield part into a productive bullpen piece sounds like a win to me.

    Depending on which indy league the guy played it, he might still be a pro. Even if the league pays so little that he still needs an off-season job, that's not so different than the Major Leagues were up until the 1950's or maybe even a bit later. She was lucky she woke up still in possession of her kidneys. Moderator's note: forgive me for changing the title. It was a little too National Enquirer-like.
