    I shall be tucking this useful meme away, for future use I'm sure.

    Concur.

    I haven't been this excited since my cell phone got stuck on vibrate.

    TOO silly, of course. Veddy, veddy, VEDDY silly.

    Also, to his employers, we make mention that he has been working for you under an assumed name. Long story.

    It's moot now that San Diego has him, but he was age 20 and Turner was age 24. That's the type of distinction that, for example, separated Eduardo Escobar from Pedro Florimon in my estimation, a few years ago. Torrens has a much better ceiling. Whether Cincy San Diego can keep him on the 25-man all season is a different question...
  7. ashbury
    As mentioned above, the picking team can work out some kind of considerations in order to keep the player and option him. Cash, FA cap room, or another player in trade. That might be San Diego's plan here. They were apparently carrying only 33 on their roster. Get the guys, then see what can be worked out.

    Oops, that cancels part of my logic regarding the Reds and Turner. I forgot that with Rule 5 you have to wait a few hours to see how things shake out.

    This man agrees: http://golistyourself.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/This-Random-Guy-Paid-Us-to-A-Lot-to-Write-About-How-Sexy-He-Is-360x240.jpg / he's what comes up first when I do a Google image search today for "random guy"

    I'm going to stick my neck out and say we get him back via Rule 5's methods, before next off-season. The Reds also took a Yankees catcher in the first round, and probably they are thinking they will try to keep one or the other but not both. Since more than half of Rule 5 picks get offered back anyway, or a trade is worked out satisfactory to both teams, and Turner was apparently the Reds' second choice, I'll be surprised if he sticks. Particularly since he managed only a .646 OPS in AA last year. His bat's just not ready, and has low upside at best, so it'll be hard to keep a glove-only catcher all year.

    Yes, this is why the TD ownership cartel continues to invest their time developing and maintaining this site, for those sweet, sweet hundred dollar paydays two or three days a year.
  12. ashbury
    No, but I liked Dave's scoop too. It livens things up. And if the trade falls through... we can always stick a fork in Dave.

    Is intrigued by your analysis and would like to learn more: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/players/head_shot/543548.jpg

    I took a quick look at your other posts, and didn't see what your knock on De Leon might be. He's pretty well regarded on various MLB prospect lists.

    To the Twins Front Office, Please trade Brian Dozier for good controllable starting pitching Respectfully, Other Twins Fans
  16. ashbury
    Mr Pohlad could afford that. We should keep this possible acquisition of talent in mind.

    This past election reaffirmed my faith in this country being not very nice, so what else is new?
  18. ashbury
    Ordinarily I am fine with the principle of going after the best possible player, regardless of position. But this is our one best trade chip, and starting pitching is our crying need. I'll be pretty disappointed if a trade occurs and doesn't involve a young but MLB-ready front of the rotation candidate.
  19. ashbury
    Future 2016 elections, for sure.
  20. ashbury
    And also too Joe Benson. For another fun parallel: Free Anthony Slama! Though, Slama did actually get his cuppa.

    The more I read about the masters of snark who populated BYTO, the more I think of this crowd http://mblogthumb3.phinf.naver.net/20140804_198/styleweeks_1407115758552gDpfz_JPEG/%C1%A6%B8%F1%BF%A1_%B3%D6%B4%C2_%BB%E7%C1%F8.jpg?type=w420 or this crowd http://cdn.broscience.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/awesome-nerd-party.jpg trying to be this crowd http://r.mtdata.ru/r480x-/u10/photoADD3/20686106223-0/original.jpg or this crowd

    I keed, I keed.

    Hope he enjoys rubbing elbows with the major leaguers during his month in Ft Myers. A .762 career OPS for a Rockies player (i.e., .705 on the road) isn't going to cut it at a corner defensive position. I'm not against signings such as this. Depth is needed in the minors, which is how Seth pegs it.
  24. ashbury
    I can be on board with including Kohl, if it is to help get a guy like Urias who we hoped Kohl someday became, when we drafted him. Not "just to trade him".
  25. ashbury
    Dozier is coming to the meetings? That would be significant.
