    In the 80's the average fastball was in the 88-89 mph range now it is around 92. More torque, no evolution to compensate, not intelligently designed enough to handle the stress over time.

    This is what his college coach said of him "He's an effective closer, but I think he could be one of the best starters in the nation. To me, he looks like a big league starter, and I've never seen a big league guy look like that for how he executes his pitches." -- Illinois pitching coach Drew Dickinson Give him a couple more years, then be all doom and gloomy.

    IWhat rank a player has when traded is of less than zero importance. What that player produces is. Kudos to Detroit for being smarter than the rankings people if Fulmer continues to produce.

    With the left side defense as it currently is, the LF might be making a lot of plays, and throws to 2b

    Adding players that could hit and catch a ball would be a better idea

    Vargas left off with a 64 WRC for August and September. I hope he does not continue where he left of but more like the July hitter

    Who's trade rumor do you want to believe? DeLeon straight up? If that is the offer, Dozier will have value later. The couldn't agree on a 3 or 4th piece rumor? Dozier will lose value due to contract. The contracts given out this winter do not show age is a limiting factor in contracts or consideration of a player.

    Dozier, Mauer, Escobar, Nunez was traded, Plouffe was hurt as much as healthy. Perhaps not much for veterans would have been more accurate. Vetran starters who have it figured out would be Sanatana. There really wasn't an established reliever healthy and performing. Through the season I guess you could say Kinzler figured it out.

    Chris Colabello signed a minor league deal with the Indians Oswaldo Arcia signed with the Diamondbacks Good luck to them

    A mid 70 draft pick returns a 10 war player about 5% of the time. Another 20% of the time you get a player the equivalent of Santiago. A team needing to fill in the back of their rotation, a late comp pick is cheap for that

    At least they have players that are currently in the system. Beyond that, the significance is minuscule as it is but one person's opinion.

    It is amazing that a guy with a few bits repeated 13-14 times a week can have a show that lasts

    I like the steamer prediction that he will pitch 1 inning and give up 1.29 HR/9 Mathematically impossible.

    JD Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie say hello and look at what they have done . Anti trust laws exist to prevent monopolies, which would be allowed under capitalism. Your definition of capitalism is off. Players are workers, not individual businesses.

    HELLLO he had announced his retirement http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/torii-hunter-retires-too-sore-to-play-anymore/

    Walker could have chose not to sign. He could have completed and used his education. Baseball is capitalistic as can be. The cartel that is baseball fits right in with the monopolies of yore when the country was capitalistic The workers have made gains, but not so much for the vast majority who play for pay. AB Walker, Plouffe, Chris Carter are all proof the system works for the owners.
  19. old nurse
    That choice was paid for by a signing bonus. For Walker it was 490000 for his choice. For the far fringe player like Walker, the bouncing around happens to a couple of players every year. The world is not fair.

    The discussion should be what player has a significant chance to be your 12h or 13th best pitcher or utility/position player. other opinions http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/katohs-guide-to-the-2016-rule-5-draft/

    Apple to orange alert. Which one is an 8 million a year signing as a free agent player?
  22. old nurse
    The proponents of pitch framing say yes while ignoring past studies showing that it is not a consistent skill. It is not called evenly, with effects for score and inning.

    From baseball america Major League Baseball grants a fourth option to teams when a player has five or fewer professional seasons under his belt but already has burned through three optional assignments. For this purpose, the Collective Bargaining Agreement credits a player with a season of service when he spends 90 or more days on the active list during a season. In 2009 and 2010 Vargas might not have been on the active list for 90 days.

    Is another team's 20th best prospect a major league player? The Phillies and the Rays would appear to have number issues. http://m.twins.mlb.com/news/article/208914172/prospects-added-to-40-man-or-exposed-to-rule-5/

    Isn't it command that kept Meyer in the minors?
