    Granite's opening the season on the DL with a left oblique strain. http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-zach-granite-to-open-year-on-dl/

    Interesting board. Dunno too much about some of these prep guys. I do like JB, esp. if he allowed the Twins to do some things later in the draft. I know you're a big draft guy herb. Stop by the main 2017 draft thread!

    Rooker batting .447/.539/1.008 on the year. 150 PAs, 20 BB, 25 Ks (16.7%), 15 HR, 14/18 SB. The steals are interesting. Is he fast? That could be one hell of a power-speed combo.

    Rooker with 3 homers last night. Once again an exit velo reading - 108mph on the grand slam (dunno about the other two). http://www.secsports.com/video/19112914/msu-rooker-destroys-grand-slam http://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/college/mississippi-state/2017/04/08/brent-rookers-three-homers-lift-msu-over-kentucky/100206560/

    I thinks so.

    Speaking of copyright, did someone get the expressed written consent from the Chitown pale hose for the accounts of the game going on here? RB?

    Wind blowing in tonight or was Hughes just really good?

    He's Dubnykesque.

    5 IP 1 R from Hughesie, gotta cash out now eh?
  13. Willihammer
    I suspect there's truth to that, but that's harder to prove.

    We should be clear that Bukauskas still has #1/2 starter ceiling. Probablyi the best pitcher in college and he's essentially a sophomore, he skipped a year of high school.
  15. Willihammer
    The study does say that there is a slight correlation between pitcher height and the probability of remaining a starter. Evidence which could be used to discount the price of a shorter player taken at the top of the draft.

    Question- when Suzuki blocked the pitch did he find the ball? When it happened to Molina, he couldn't find the ball and the runner advanced safely to first on a strikeout. I would assume if there were anything sketchy going on it would be the pitcher applying pine tar to the ball. In which case the catcher should say "I think it picked up some pine tar on the ground in the dugout" to cover for his pitcher. The fact Suzuki said the opposite is interesting, but again I ask did he find the ball immediately or was he looking around for it?

    There's still a lot of time left but if the draft were held today I'd take Bukauskas or Rooker, offer underslot money and then play overslot shenanigans with the 35 and 37 picks.

    Assuming this is accurate, the stats are impressive but don't scream 1-1 to me. 30 Ks against 82 BF is a 37% K-rate. On a k/9 scale its 12.9. For comparison Jameson Taillon had 114 K's in 62-2/3 IP (k/9 of 16.4). And I would guess he did it against tougher competition as his high school enrollment was over 4,000 and Greene's is only 1200.

    Byron Buxton has a lower OBP (.133) than Matt Belisle's FIP (.160).
  20. Willihammer
    1-1/2

    Eddie Rosario has more walks than Joey Votto. edit: Oh right, "numbers." Rosario has 2 more walks and as many strikeouts as Joey Votto. There.

    Recent article on Rooker. I was surprised to find an exit velocity reading on one of his HRs. Is there trackman in college parks after all? http://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/college/mississippi-state/2017/04/06/subtle-swing-changes-help-brent-rookers-monster-season/100113594/

    One guy I haven't heard much about is Mississippi St. OF Brent Rooker. Redshirt junior. R/R, 6'4 220. The stats are off the charts. .513 ISO!

    Just read the WaPo piece on Karen Pence. Sounds like Mike's dining policy is a mutual thing the two of them implemented. If not Karen unilaterally. Not that that makes it any better or worse. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/karen-pence-is-the-vice-presidents-prayer-warrior-gut-check-and-shield/2017/03/28/3d7a26ce-0a01-11e7-8884-96e6a6713f4b_story.html?utm_term=.465b270b553b
