    No. That is what you said, and quite well. I say what I want to say. I really don't know what your point is in engaging me now. I have the right to my opinion, as do you, your's. I have nothing for you further here.

    OK. Whatever. The Reds suck at picking, too, if you like. Still livid. They didn't pass on Greene when they had the opportunity, though.
  3. h2oface
    Falvey apparently just doesn't like to use the number one pick for the number one pick. Not in rule 5, and not here. How many times do you get that pick? Hopefully never, because you are winning. But when you do............ still livid in SoCal. The Reds didn't miss it. They know a 1-1 when they see it.

    Seems there was some confusion, and Tampa wanted him announced as a two way player. McKay was noticeably surprized.
  5. h2oface
    Good for McKay. Entitled is the system. The individual, no matter when, has the right to take control of ones career. This is a lot of supposition here.
  6. h2oface
    Wow. Falvey and Levine - soooo disappointed. Give them a team and the number one pick, and they take a # 7 or lower. No guts no glory. Who needs pitching anyway. Better to get a HIGH SCHOOL SHORTSTOP THAT HAS A NOODLE ARM and give him millions to play in the minors. I hate this.
  7. h2oface
    Good. Best to go Greene.

    Span never would dive for the ball. That damn butt slide for the Santana ball..... it should have been caught. Span never had the right stuff. I am so glad we have outfielders now that will dive and slide on their belly for a catch! I don't miss Span at all....... but Aaron Hicks is another subject.

    Scouts? The same ones that were so right about Trout? The professionals.

    Kintzler pitches ninth again. Big sigh of relief. Tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc............
  11. h2oface
    All I am saying is........ that I would rather have a bright star that burns quick, and shines bright, than a long term innings eater middle of the road pitcher.
  12. h2oface
    Don't you just love the strategy of being so bad you get the number one pick, and then you take a number 9 at number 1, just to save a couple million to pay a 30 something? And you totally don't take advantage of the number one overall pick. Not my style.

    ?? 43 Ks in 28 innings this year. They shut him down on the mound in April. Parents want to save the arm and development for pro ball. http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/hunter-greene/uMJm9ZrFEeOzMAAmVebBJg/gendersport/baseball-stats.htm

    Interesting, that when the predictions for the NCAA basketball tourney are looked back on, the talking heads that told us what would happen, don't fare well. I agree that the science is not to be denied. If Greene can do what he does now without his legs "strong enough", just imagine what can be with legs becoming strong enough, and used more! I will take 4 great Lincecum years, more than a 4 ish ERA inning eater (Brake Radke?) that last a longer time. All pitchers are going to break down. Their time, like running backs, is limited, and they know that going in, or should. Even with the science, we are guessing, just convincing ourselves it is a better guess with better probabilities. Until they go down anyway. Which they do with ever increasing frequency, regardless of the better knowledge and science. It's fun to talk about, though. And then there are unexplainable occurances, like Sandy Koufax (bright and quick and violent delivery) and ageless Nolan Ryan, and Randy Johnson...... and Clayton Kershaw.

    Rosario does fine fresh out of the pen. Let him sit in the dugout for a half inning, and it all goes to hell.

    I met his dad at the games I saw. Nice guy. Definitely the family is hoping for San Diego, he even said so, and that is influencing the son. Seems to me it would be best to not be close to helicopter family, for over all becoming. He said they have modeled Hunter's training after the San Diego philosophy, whatever that means.
  17. h2oface
    Some just need to convince themselves they know more than others. Just turn on sports talk radio. Green looks plenty smooth to me. Lincecum didn't do bad for years with his freaky delivery. Nobody knows.
  18. h2oface
    We? This is the pitcher that the Angels would trade for Nolasco and fleece the Twins and take Meyer, too. Even the pitching starved Angels were tired of him and didn't want him. I never wan't him extended or even on the team at all. At least Hughes had a good year. Santiago had a good month. Good thing Ryan was gone. He probably would have extended him.

    I'm so used to the Twins number one pick being a disappointment, that if they pick Greene and he falters or hurts himself, it would be SNAFU. Expected. Because, other than Mauer, the first round picks are lucky to make it at all, and if they do, are pretty not so special. So, I hope they aren't the team that misses the chance to grab the anointed one, and watches him be as special as the cover of Sports Illustrated projects him to be. And I always want them to draft college players and not high school. Except this time. I hope they don't blow this.

    I am sure he meant the NCAA regional on Saturday. Clemson took them the rubber game.
  21. h2oface
    I fear being picked #1 by the Twins will be like being on the cover of the Madden football box. If they pick Wright, he will suck. If they pick Greene, he will. I wish they could pick one and instantly trade for the other. I am hoping now it is Greene. I saw him play in three games out here at Notre Dame High School. He is amazing. Being picked in the first round by the Twins seems like a curse ever since Mauer. We will see. I bet it is Greene.

    Great article!

    I went and saw 3 games. He pitched in two of them. I don't like the idea of another high school pitcher.... but he really looked good. And smooth. And hit a couple of homers. I bet they take him.
  24. h2oface
    While I didn't expect Castro would hit much, I didn't think he would be as poor at the plate as he has been so far. And...... I expected him to catch more pitches. PBs and WPs that sure looked like they were catchable. The miscue at the plate on the great Buxton throw..... I have been disappointed in his glove more than his bat even. Plenty of season for him to perform better, though.
  25. h2oface
    Hey! Is Berrios an ace? He's had 2 ace games!
