    Another one clearly inside on Adrianza.

    That was pretty clearly inside on Castro. I hope he let the ump know he wants those calls for Santiago too.

    What I'm getting at isn't what you personally do or don't know. What I'm getting at is that it isn't enough for me, nor should it be enough for a front office, to simply reject an odd idea out of hand. It simply isn't enough to say "it won't be done because that's not how it's done."

    Especially one who doesn't seem to be an injury risk and whose skillset doesn't tend to drop off a cliff with some age.

    I ran with the bulls at Pamplona in 2016. It was somewhat less scary than Sunday's ninth inning.

    I certainly hope Mauer doesn't make them gun shy. Catastrophic brain injuries are rare. They're even rarer when you're not a catcher. Besides, the things that made Mauer a great catcher don't translate to first base as well as the things that make Sano a good ...well whatever it is he plays. Sano's power bat earns him his bread, not an odd combo of good bat and good defense at catcher that gets significantly devalued when the catcher can't play catcher.

    Kind of seems like what employees of major league clubs ought to be doing. Instead of just doing it the way everyone else does.

    The question isn't why they say they do it, the question is why they all do it the same way. And the reason for why they all do it the same way simply cannot be because that's how they all do it. Nor can the evidence for its effectiveness be the mere fact of its being done.

    I think this is much closer to the "answer" here. At the top levels, you're not going to find many disruptors, because if they attempt to disrupt things and it doesn't work immediately, they get the hook.

    Isn't that circular?

    I'm surprised he got anything at all in trade, but hey. What do I know?

    I read "at worst, a solid #3 for a long time." I'll take a floor of #3 all day. Noting, of course that the real floor is out of baseball and that the high schooler is much more likely to wash out than the guy who's been doing it at a high level for three years. I get the whole upside thing, but I've never seen a credible source say that McKay or Wright couldn't be top of the rotation guys. Greene is much scarier on the low end of his possible outcomes than he is attractive on the high end.

    That's a, well let's call it an "interesting" conclusion. We could just look at the median ages of leagues without making broad-strokes statements on the Twins prospects, many of which are good despite your ridiculously pessimistic outlook. The latest info I could find, because all I'm willing to spend on this nonsense is a quick google search, was in 2013, where the Florida State League median was 23.5 years. For AA Southern League, it's 24.6 years: http://www.baseballamerica.com/majors/median-age-for-every-full-season-league/ Kohl Stewart is currently 22 years and 7 months old. Meaning that he's not only super young for his league, he'd be about a year younger than the median for the league below him. This is simple google searching that you could have done before making conclusory statements.

    Very excited about Adrianza over Santana. Not excited at all about Rucinski but I will wait to break out the pitchforks until Gibson's next turn. If both Tepesch and Rucinski are still up then, then count me in on the pitchfork parade.

    I hope they take it further and visit him in the clubhouse for a little longer-term-view-planning sesh.

    As a developer, I don't like you very much right now.

    :fingers crossed:

    It's true but lacks any useful information. Hence, a terrible answer. Q: "Why is Joe Mauer bad? Is it BABIP? Is it contact? Is it something else?" A: "He's bad because he's bad. [Added potshot about salary for effect.]" I don't see how anyone finds that useful.
  20. 70charger
    Yes.

    Back to normal with Tonkin?
  22. 70charger
    They all had extra cream in their coffee? They're now worried about whether the tests will come back clear?
  23. 70charger
    I just really don't understand what's happening here.
  24. 70charger
    Hell yes, Buxton!

    467 feet that was measured at.
