    If there is one thing teams are looking to trade it is proven SS. I hope that unnamed prospect you mention is Sano or Berrios.
  2. drjim
    Isn't Jay going to spend the rest of season in bullpen in Ft. Myers? If he does well why not push him? Unlikely but certainly should be on the radar.
  3. drjim
    I'm sure there were a couple of strawmen.
  4. drjim
    Way too highbrow for me.
  5. drjim
    I certainly agree that Milone doesn't work in the pen. Plenty good 6th starter.
  6. drjim
    And that they wish they had a high 90s fastball and a low 90s breaking ball.
  7. drjim
    Milone, and there really isn't a second choice.
  8. drjim
    I think this happens relatively soon.
  9. drjim
    Why take him out of the rotation?
  10. drjim
    I think this is a key point. Whatever the reasons for using him as they did, when the season was on the line he got the start. Says something.
  11. drjim
    Actually that strikes me as a very possible outcome for Stewart (barring injury). And Stewart, by all accounts I've read, has better raw stuff.
  12. drjim
    Are you sure Stewart wouldn't put up similar numbers in Low A? I certainly have advocated pumping the brakes a little on Gonsalves. I like him and don't especially quibble with this placement considering the alternatives, but putting up numbers in a second go around in Low A doesn't move the needle a ton for me.
  13. drjim
    So he can draw upon nature and nurture?
  14. drjim
    It will be Milone. Slops through some effective innings but clearly the 5th guy in the rotation right now.
  15. drjim
    I generally agree Walker will struggle to make it, but he has a carrying tool basically unmatched in the system, so he deserves to be higher. I give a lot of leeway to good defensive catchers. I'll give his bat one more year before I'm too critical.

    I hadn't done as deep a dive when I posted that and you are certainly correct, not nearly as deep as it has been. It is still a top 10 at the moment and likely will remain so even if Sano graduates, but there has certainly been some graduations, some stalling and not enough emergence or replenishing. I would personally go: 1. Sano 2. Berrios 3. Polanco 4. Kepler 5. Jay 6. Gordon 7. Stewart 8. Meyer 9. Gonsalves 10. Turner 11. Harrison 12. Walker 13. Hu That is some meat on the top, followed by talented question marks, then some legit B-/C+ guys, followed by power relievers, upside guys in the low levels, and upper level depth. It has taken a step back but still a solid system. Could look better if some of the draftees or international guys in the rookie leagues show well.
  17. drjim
    He would likely see better command in AAA relative to AA but not better stuff. And he will get much better instruction in the bigs than at AAA.
  18. drjim
    You just said send him down. He doesn't need additional motivation to work on his game, he needs reps.
  19. drjim
    I fear people are getting ahead of themselves on Gonsalves and especially Hu. Good prospects to have and doing fine, but questions on their stuff and whether success is more due to deception. Putting up numbers in A ball is certainly preferable to not putting up numbers, but the next step will really show. I trust scouting and stuff much more in A ball over numbers, in AA it begins to flip.
  20. drjim
    Not silly to burn an option but also very premature. Do you really expect the Twins to need to option him in 2018? People can't call for promotions and then panic because they struggle for a couple of games.
  21. drjim
    That seems to be the scouting report. Will outgrow CF, not enough arm for RF. He will be a LF/1B guy.
  22. drjim
    Wait, a guy has 50 games in AA, has a nice stretch and people want him promoted. That's a new one. I could be wrong as soon as tomorrow, but with his age, background, and the fact he gets hurt basically every year, I would be surprised if he makes it out of AA this year.
  23. drjim
    I'm personally more bullish on Rosario. He will never be a high bb guy, but his k rate has been creeping down. Not an ideal player, but a low bb/ lowish k guy can survive when they have a decent hit tool and bring speed and d to the table as well. I generally agree with your take on the other 4 as likely outcomes.
  24. drjim
    I'd guess more likely that it won't be until next year.
  25. drjim
    Strong take calling 3 of the 4 best hitters in the lineup as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th biggest problems.
