    How???????
  2. bluechipper
    With all due respect, I'm skeptical. I guess we'll see.
  3. bluechipper
    Yeah, that's a good point. Mark Trumbo might seem like a better fit, especially since it sounds like Desmond is going to play 1B. They get some positional flexibility though, and I'm still a fan of the move overall.
  4. bluechipper
    Yeah, let's criticize a team for signing a quality player to a fair deal. Nolan Arenado is in his prime, Car-go is still very good, they have the batting champ in Lemehieu, and some of their young pitching is up and pitching well. Why not make a big free agent signing?
  5. bluechipper
    I'm not sure what this means, but I think Buxton 2 years ago was a better prospect than what Moncada is now.
  6. bluechipper
    Well the Yankees are talking about a $90M deal with Chapman, so I'd say they're going for it, while breaking in their young guys at the same time.
  7. bluechipper
    Maybe now he is, but at their peak value, Buxton would be considered a better prospect. A stat that might be of interest is their minor league strikeout numbers: Moncada: 24%, Buxton: 21%.

    They did a lot of joking around, but he said that he's meeting with Levine and Falvey tonight. He's paying attention to and taking a positive approach to all of the rumors and taking it as a compliment, but said he'd like to be here for the long haul to win with the Twins. Overall, he said it's a really exciting time for him. He's such a great guy, which makes the possibility of him being traded a tough one.

    Brian Dozier is going to be on Intentional Talk in a few minutes.
  10. bluechipper
    Mark Melancon is signing with the Giants. No big surprise there, as that really helps fill out their team. Maybe an upgrade in the outfield is the next move for them.
  11. bluechipper
    I think Deleon is more than a 3rd starter, and the Dodgers are probably going to have to add in another good prospect or two too. Julio Urias is not getting traded. I think that's pretty clear.
  12. bluechipper
    For what it's worth, Jon Heyman just said on MLB Tonight that he believes Dozier will be traded to the Dodgers. He also mentioned a few mystery teams, the Angels and Phillies.
  13. bluechipper
    The Dodgers aren't moving Urias for Chris Sale. Why would they move him for Dozier?
  14. bluechipper
    I'm assuming Julio Urias is nearly untouchable. Stewart and Dozier wouldn't be enough to get Urias alone, much less a package including two other really good prospects.
  15. bluechipper
    If he's that good of a hitter, you find a spot for him. There's probably a reason why MLB.com has him ranked right in the same area as Yusniel Diaz. Of course I'd rather have Verdugo than Calhoun, but a package of Verdugo and Deleon might be too much to ask for.
  16. bluechipper
    If you're pessimistic about Rosario, then Calhoun seems like a good prospect to look at. He's probably going to have to move to LF from 2B. He hit 27 HRs in AA as a 21 year old and only had an 11.6% K rate. He's an intriguing prospect as the second piece in the deal.
  17. bluechipper
    The Astros signed Carlos Beltran to a 1 yr. $16M deal. They are going to score a ton of runs next year.
  18. bluechipper
    This draft is looking good. Really, really good. There should be a really good player available in the 5 to 10 range.
  19. bluechipper
    You know he had 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists last night, and he was a +18 in only 21 minutes? Sure, he had one bad turnover (his only turnover), but he was good other than that. I actually think he should start. Probably for Gorgui, or maybe for LaVine. Something needs to change.
  20. bluechipper
    Don't forget the Ramos/Capps trade.
  21. bluechipper
    I wish Kris Dunn wasn't an even worse shooter than Rubio.
  22. bluechipper
    You're right. He's got an .803 OPS against RH and .574 against LH for his career. And last year, he was at .884 OPS against RH.
  23. bluechipper
    The A's made a very A'sey signing today by getting Matt Joyce for 2 years and $11M. I'm surprised he got that much. He bounced back from an awful 2015 to have a pretty solid 2016. His line was .242/.403/.463 (.866), but only had 293 PA.
  24. bluechipper
    It'll be interesting to see what they do with their surplus of outfielders.
  25. bluechipper
    I think Dansby Swanson had the second fastest inside the park HR this year, and it was about a full second slower than Buxton's. He sure is fun to watch, and I am really looking forward to seeing what he can do in 2017.
