  1. Chicks dig the long ball.
  2. Obviously it takes some blending here but generally: 1. High OBP, w/ some speed 2. High OBP 3. High SLG 4. Best Hitter 5. High SLG, less then 3 though probably. 6 - 9 best guys by order.
  3. The way you wrote that makes it sound like the Reds are adding the prospect? I'd definitely think we'd have to toss in the prospect.
  4. He's a gamble to be a below-average C. While the bat is nice, with Park in the fold (presumably) there really is nowhere to put him if he were to fail at C (a large chance). I also don't think the Cubbies would do this deal, noting their preference for FA Pitcher's and Self-Developed Position Prospects. Verdict: Too Risky a gamble on Schwarber's glove.
  5. Yea, but what are the odds that that would happen? Realistically that leaves, what, Gordon as the headliner? He hasn't played at a high enough level to be a headliner of this deal.
  6. Seems like somebody is trolling because basic knowledge of the baseball offseason says we are barely started...
  7. No it hasn't. It was my thought process on what might be one interpretation of a possible alignment of relevant players.
  8. If he has a similar transition to Kang, he might hit .270. Obviously that is not concrete nor a good assumption but perhaps an indicator he isn't Adam Dunn.
  9. This is splashy for certain (or at least un-Twins like) They must really like this guy.
  10. No I did that too, I was just thinking maybe he was pranking people?
  11. MLBTradeRumors just confirmed. Twins won the bid. Though they did source the guy from Twitter above.
  12. RF: Sano 3B: Plouffe 1B: Mauer DH: Park I wonder if this is a good idea.
  13. Radke reminds me of James Shields, except Shields is better (2 more K/9, .5 point lower FIP and ERA, albeit with a higher BB/9) And by this I mean a player that eats a lot of innings and is durable. Difference being Shields is a #2 and Radke a #3.
  14. I'd be OK with a one-day signing for sentiment. Does this ever happen in baseball? Is there a rule for this?
  15. Plouffe is worth more then Ramos anyways...
  16. I'm extraordinarily concerned about his K%. Even Mark Reynolds didn't strike out this much in the minors. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=7619&position=1B/3B
  17. I'm happy for Torii. I'm also happy that the temptation is gone.
  18. Hughes for Castro has more merits as an actual trade then Nolasco for Castro, but I don't think the Cubs are going this route. They will sign SP's with their excess $$ and trade for prospects I suspect.
  19. I haven't seen a single Twins game on TV at my house because of the cable issue, which is sad because it's the only sport I really want to watch. But then again, I really don't want to spend the $ for one channel. MLBNetwork would be ideal but that isn't an option...
  20. He's definitely not alone. The whole Royals team is built around this. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-royals-are-basically-the-best-contact-team-ever/
  21. Have you seen his hair? It's gorgeous.
