  1. Choices, consequences. The entertainment industry is loaded with people working for little of nothing, hoping to make it big.
  2. At some point with draft order money does become an issue, Spending more to entice a player or finding someone you can spend less on but still like. I don't think as you get to the later rounds of the draft the difference between a round or two for the players makes that much difference. It becomes what do you see in the player that you can make into a good player.
  3. Websites have him listed as a senior at Clemson. The chooice would be Twins or indie ball
  4. If the players are lucky their season was still going on in high school and college playoffs. The money at the top has an effect on what they can do with the rest of the money.
  5. A strategy that might be effective is to take the best ths player that fell. If they do not sign the pick and money carries over to the next year. Same for the second round pick. That gives the team far more room to play with in 2019. If a college player falls that the team loves that changes things. The rukes of the draft are such that a team has to consider the following year in their planning.
  6. You jinxed Romero. All your fault. I hope you are proud of your actions. Just kidding
  7. 1 and 2. You might have an good take that is worth commenting on. You could be predicting a setback for Santana. because his fastball was not coming back as before Thus the headline becomes sort of a teaser As it was you had a bad take. Much of this website, or others, is not about predicting injury rehab. In the future I will remember that you did not have a creative take and overlook your postings.
  8. Santana is not ready to come back now why would you be worried about what roster spot will be used. If the return is not likely until the end of June the answer will be clearer at the end of June.
  9. Convincing someone that appears to think that they can hit any pitch out of the park that selectivity will get him easier pitches to hit must not be an easy thing to do.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Vargas has 3 versus LoMo's 4 HR, but otherwise a nice comp
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. According to Fangraphs 5 pa against L 1 walk 1 double. Way to early analytical pronoucements
  17. 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
  18. 8 games and nothing. Another Twins signing a bust free agent. Maybe when his body warms up, the eyes and the bat will.
  19. 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....
  20. When they signed Lance Lynn I think that could have been a sign the did not expect Santana back anytime soon.
  21. 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.
  22. http://natsgm.com/2017/05/10/scouting-tyler-watson-lhp-hagerstown-suns/
  23. 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
  24. It would appear that one is not suposed to have a notion that you develop the players to their fullest extent
  25. 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.
