  1. Maybe Grossman will be the new Duensing in trade talks for a catcher. Like Sussac for Grossman. Swihart for Grossman, Duke and a prospect. Realmuto for Gordon Gosalves, Granite, Grzelowski and Grossman ( and any other prospect over 19 with the last name that starts with G other than Gratero)l.
  2. For any procedure to happen there has to be a signed informed consent, Casto signed off on all of the procedures that could be done. May your good fortune of not personally knowing what consent is continue.
  3. Vargas has 3 versus LoMo's 4 HR, but otherwise a nice comp
  4. 5 singles in 12 ab from a career .250 hitter is a hot bat. You all read it here first, maybe last. Quick, trade him while he is a peak value as his value will never be higher.
  5. couldn't quickly find steamer 2017 but you can see how individually off Zips is https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2017-zips-projections-minnesota-twins/ https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=100&type=8&season=2017&month=0&season1=2017&ind=0&team=8&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=15,d When I looked one time they get the team about right as a whole. Individuals, not so much
  6. Not much in AAA to get excited about, Gonsalves is about it. Reed hasn't pitched much this year. In AA there is Gordon maybe Wiel if they find a taker for Morrison, maybe Wade if he continues to hit. Jay has not pitched much yet.
  7. According to Fangraphs 5 pa against L 1 walk 1 double. Way to early analytical pronoucements
  8. Rule v draft was in December. Chagois was designated in February. One has nothing to do with the other. Morrison was signed a week after Chargois. Cause and effect would be sketchy at best. There would be no certainty of signing anyone
  9. 8 games and nothing. Another Twins signing a bust free agent. Maybe when his body warms up, the eyes and the bat will.
  10. 4 games each for Chargois and Bard. 1 for Kinley, 2 for Moya. Not much to go on Think of the lights out bullpen would have been as Belisle has yet to give up a run this year. Take that for the small sample size judgements. Give it some time and see what happens. Vargas has yet to strike out in a game for Rochester....
  11. When they signed Lance Lynn I think that could have been a sign the did not expect Santana back anytime soon.
  12. I would guess that there are always going to be players who think their value is greater than what it is and use players who play a different position to justify that viewpoint. All it takes is one GM to have a similar opinion. Dozier will use Blackmon's contract when perhaps Fowler's or Cain's contract at 5/80 would be a better barometer.
  13. http://natsgm.com/2017/05/10/scouting-tyler-watson-lhp-hagerstown-suns/
  14. Watson got 400K as a 34th round selection. Hardly measly. There were top 100 selections that signed for less that year. He signed for what he would have got were he not thought of as an unsignable. dfat pick
  15. It would appear that one is not suposed to have a notion that you develop the players to their fullest extent
  16. KATOH seems to like Granite You can think his role whatever you want, other projection models say different things. If there is talent yet to be developed the fifth outfielder role will not do.
  17. Granite's 2017 at AAA was a fluke and the .611 MLB ops was the real Granite. If that is the case you should want a better backup than Granite. If he is a developing player with a few things to work on, then he needs to be in AAA playing every day. The guy on his tail is Wade. There are no other prospects at AAA. Nor AA
  18. You are using sire in the archaic use. To many archaic uses of words would not be what they think of. You are looking for the unheralded stud player.
  19. They might want Granite to be playing every day to start the season.
  20. Bob Hemelin could have had a great career, but did not. Could be is far far different than is. Swing and miss 9.8%, is nice an ops for the other team was .822 was .750 overall. He is better than Slegers but you never know, Slegers could develop into a number 3
  21. The pitching gurus have not yet brought stability to Pressly. There are likely 1.6 million reasons he will be given every chance in the first half of the season. From there it would depend on how the others have developed. I don't think Hildenberger and Busenitz have had the best of springs. I think Curtiss has been pitching at the end of the games so I don't think he is in the initial choices either.
  22. Yup Arrietta had a bad season for him. That may have cost him a lot of money. He still got a great contract based on the prior years. Swing and miss numbers are nice. Contact was the problem. An .850 ops against is not very good considering he had a slightly below average hr/9. League average ops was around .750 Some pitchers with command develop late. The issue is quality of pitches besides a slider.
  23. Matt Kemp says hello. If WAR is based on contracts given there is a huge fault with the over 200 million that players got paid for little of nothing in 2017.
  24. Strange comp. Mejia is no Kershaw. Kershaw spent only one full year in the minors and pitched on average more than 6 inning per game since he was 22. So Mejia can be Kershaw. Love the optimism
