    Bill Veeck was clear to Eddie to get the socks correct if he did nothing else: http://s3.birthmoviesdeath.com/images/made/eddiegaedel_1050_591_81_s_c1.jpg

    Sven was going for his morning walk one day when he went past Ole's house and saw a sign that said "Boat For Sale." This confused Sven because he knew that Ole didn't own a boat. So he finally decided to go in and ask Ole about it. "Hey Ole," said Sven, "I noticed da sign in your yard dat says 'Boat For Sale,' but all ya have in the yard is your old John Deere tractor and combine." Ole replied, "Ya, and dey're boat for sale."

    "... the mandatory retrieval of [Nunez's] helmet."

    Ish.

    Google Translate could not identify which language this is, so I'm staying on the fence as to the value of his observation.

    Nice, through five. The book on Gibson has been inconsistency, though, so I would like to see the rest of this game, not to mention about three more, before rushing to judgement.

    Ole and Sven worked for the city of Minneapolis. Sven would dig a hole - he would dig, dig, dig. Ole would come along and fill the hole - fill, fill, fill. Sven and Ole worked furiously; one digging a hole, the other filling it up again. A man was watching from the sidewalk and couldn't believe how hard these men were working, but couldn't understand what they were doing. Finally he had to ask them. He said to Sven the hole digger, "I appreciate how hard you work, but what are you doing? You dig a hole and your partner comes along behind you and fills it up again!" Sven, hole digger replied, "Yaah, I suppose it does look funny, but Lars, he's da guy who plants da trees, and donchaknow, he's sick today."

    Didn't that play depend more on coming in than moving to the side? It's coming in that I think Sano does well on.
  14. ashbury
    Yes. And, concur.
  15. ashbury
    Just like Mets fans moan about those D'Arnaud strikeouts.
  16. ashbury
    Does Sano come in to make that play at third? I kind of think he would have a better shot at it than Plouffe. It's the one thing I've seen Sano do extremely well on defense.

    Quite an uppercut young mister Buxton has developed.
  18. ashbury
    He's too busy reaching second on his own, apparently.

    I also didn't see them drafting prospects from below AAA, though I didn't search exhaustively. That seems like the direction I would go after about my first 10 picks. Instead they were focusing on guys with at least a little bit of MLB experience.
  24. ashbury
    Coming from it slightly in the reverse direction, there's a lot of .200 ISO guys, which would make for a good study (for someone with better database skills than me) but is time-consuming to spot check by hand. Just looking at the top 10 guys in MLB this year (.280 and above), the guys like Arenado, Duvall, and Bruce had 20 homer seasons in the minors while in their late teens or early twenties. Ortiz, Rizzo and Bryant were all considered power bats as prospects. Story, Machado, they had double digit HR as teens and brought up young enough that their power was still developing. Lamb and Carpenter reached double digit HR while a little older in the minors, so might be examples of what you're describing, but hardly under the radar to the scouts rating them, I'd have to think. Expectation versus ceiling, might be the farthest you could distinguish.

    They call with spoofed phone numbers, so I don't see what a call blocking scheme can do.
