  1. Odds are what the oddsmakers figure out how to extract your money and put it into their wallet.
  2. Baseball is like football with specialization? What twisted logic am I missing? Football allows free substitution, baseball does not. Why not just advocate putting out the best 9 defenders and starting each inning with the top of the batting order? That would make baseball like football with specialization.
  3. 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.
  4. You jinxed Romero. All your fault. I hope you are proud of your actions. Just kidding
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. The Twins are a team of hope. They hope that the Ribbie Grossman of 2016 will appear. Not only that, there is the return of the LoMo of 2917 the Byron Buxton of the second half of last year, as well as any semblances of a Sano. So much to hope for that there is paralysis as to what may be hopeless seasons. Fear not, they did move on from the Hughes of 2014. What will be the next
  8. Cederoth was the 79th pick, After 2 years they would have made that trade in a heartbeat. Ryan Edes near that position. . Stuart Turner went for 100K,
  9. https://www.instagram.com/p/BjT_f50Deo9/?utm_source=ig_embed See what happens
  10. 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.
  11. And the BB%. Unfortunately the K% normalize. In a serious bit, it would be fairer to complain that sending him to Rochester is usless to get back bat timing if they do not pitch to him.
  12. Then Gregorio with his OBP should be leading off.
  13. Sano has had a great two days in Rochester. That .429 OBP is great. Dang, he should have been leading off.
  14. I do not think Sano, or Escobar to catcher would work.
  15. Game situations do not happen in whatever rehab scenario occurs in Minnesota. You could be onto something, why bother with spring training when you must not need game situation practice to be reafy to play
  16. Sano hasn't seen major league pitching in over 4 weeks. It was mocked when Grossman said it wold take him 10 AB to get ready, now people expect Sano to do so with zero?
  17. Lucroy is on a one year contract with Oakland. Likely a lottery ticket or two from A ball would do it.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Kohl Stewart was a top 50 prospect at one point. That does not mean a whole lot now.
  21. Yeah, that Eddie Morlan trade was one awful trade. That was a trade Smith should not have made. Boy did he get fleeced losing him, and the other two guys. They should have just traded the managers
  22. Melotakis was a top 20 prospect when he was a starting pitcher in low A. Travis Harrison, Oswaldo Arcia and Alex Meyer were ahead of him and they did not pan out for one reason or another. Top 20 does not mean much.
  23. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/joe-mauer-and-the-rule-of-2000/
  24. Vargas has 3 versus LoMo's 4 HR, but otherwise a nice comp
  25. 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.
