    Oh, right. They're too busy making Final Fantasy MMCCLV
  2. PseudoSABR
    Baldur's Gate 3 is coming out; so you never know. I think a remake or sequel of Chrono Trigger would sell well. Who owns the IP of Chrono Trigger anyway?
  3. PseudoSABR
    Inventive. Kudos for putting the work in and throwing it out there.

    No way would the team rely on the player to navigate the immigration on either side of the border/sea; it's their investment. Lot's administratively can go wrong in these complex multi-nation, multi-lingual bureaucratic processes, without either party being negligent. That said, I was really looking forward to seeing something from Romero this Spring.
  5. PseudoSABR
    He didn't hit well in AA, either (148 PAs). But boy did he kill it in the AFL in nearly a 100 plate appearances. Ft. Myers, of course, is a notoriously unfriendly league to hitters. This, combined with the low sample size in the other two leagues, suggests we should look at his stat line with a great deal of suspicion.

    I wanted to check out Bailey's contract, and I see this on BR; what is this about the Dodger's paying 5m?
  7. PseudoSABR
    I ended up finishing it. After a minute, you begin unlocking force powers at a quicker rate.
  8. PseudoSABR
    When guys enter the minors unranked/relatively unknown, it's hard to climb above the guys who were highly regarded prospects at the start of their careers.
  9. PseudoSABR
    That's part of his point though: that TV ratings as a measure of your league's popularity and exposure is completely outmoded. The NBA's presence on social media I'm sure completely surpasses MLB, perhaps 100 fold; and it's social media how young people consume entertainment.
  10. PseudoSABR
    Like Maeda? I'm not sure dealing either of them except for top of the line pitching, which no one is selling right now. Maybe if the Mets implode we'd have some kind of match.
  11. PseudoSABR
    Twins getting significant cash too.
  12. PseudoSABR
    The Redsox stated concern is that Graterol may end as a reliever, which was the Twins stated preference for him this year, so the Redsox already knew about that risk. Scott Boris has stated that there's no injury that was revealed in the medical records, so I'm not sure what the medical records would have illuminated that the Redsox didn't already know/suspect. The real problem was their concern about Graterol being leaked to the press.

  14. PseudoSABR
    Twins may be leveraging the Redsox by going to the media and saying they've pulled out.
  15. PseudoSABR
    Right. It certainly appears that Boston is using Graterol's medical review as a cover for backing out of the deal due to backlash.
  16. PseudoSABR
    What a mess. Whether or not Boston's concerns with Graterol were legitimate after a medical review, those concerns never should have leaked to the press.
  17. PseudoSABR
    I would be much less of a fan if the trade included either of those two over Graterol. I'd rather see the Twins add another player to the deal, or send cash, comp draft picks, int'l pool. There's plenty of room to get creative without dealing one of their true starter prospects.
  18. PseudoSABR
    I mean you're right they didn't get an ace. But are there any available? Could Brudsar landed such even as part of package? Maeda is a good get. Fills a need, even if not the chief need.
  19. PseudoSABR
    I think Maeda is more than filler (who can't like those Ks). And giving certainty to the rotation at low cost, doesn't hinder the pursuit of a true ace; in fact, I think it helps. I wish Graterol the best, but my stomach was already sinking with him being designated to the bullpen. This feels like a surprisingly good result after that.
  20. PseudoSABR
    Maeda is not merely cost-controlled--he's not making the 10+ mil contract his performance deserves (see Pineda)--he's a steal on that contract. Graterol has awesome specs, but still isn't regarded highly nationally in the prospect lists or even by the Twins (hence bullpen). In any case I'd rather have Maeda than Price, er, well even regardless of price.
  21. PseudoSABR
    Not really. (Come on, you're purposedly not digging into Maeta's secondary stats, including those sexy K rates). I'd be interested in a publication calling Graterol a potential ace, though.
  22. PseudoSABR
    I need one of these guys or someone more credible than me to assess the talent exchange. But as far as risk/cost/certainty management the trade wins me over even with my armchair perusal of Maeta's numbers.
  23. PseudoSABR
    Now you didn't frame it that way to benefit your point, did you?
  24. PseudoSABR
    Proof? Meh. Can never have enough pitching. They still may have plenty of faith in those players, it's the pitching part that probably gives them pause.
  25. PseudoSABR
    We traded a lot of potential, but with that, a lot of uncertainty, for a lot certainty in the middle of the rotation for FOUR years at a very cheap price whether Maeda hits his incentives or not. Given that Graterol was designated as a reliever, and the in-roads the Twins pitching coaches/techniques made with veterans last year, I really like this.
