    I'd say he's the most impressive call-up since Sano last year.

    Keith Law wrote that Chargois struggled, and he has an "ugly short-arm delivery." http://espn.go.com/blog/keith-law/insider/post?id=5333

    Eduardo Nunez has the same Fangraphs WAR as Edwin Encarnacion and Miguel Cabrera. He's an All Star because he's been really good.
  4. bluechipper
    The good news is the other 3 teams in the AL Central have a combined 2 guys listed, Raul Mondesi and Carson Fulmer.
  5. bluechipper
    J.P. Crawford must be an amazing fielding SS. He's hitting .265 with a .725 OPS in AA and AAA this year, with 10 stolen bases, which is worse than what he did there last year. He's still only 21, but that's a little underwhelming for the #3 ranked prospect. It's definitely a much weaker prospect class than in recent years.
  6. bluechipper
    I think I've seen improvements in Buxton being more aggressive early, and even when he has fallen behind in the count, he's been laying off bad pitches more and at least putting the ball in play. Still too many popups and fly balls though.
  7. bluechipper
    He's had a pretty good year coming back from Tommy John surgery, with a 2.35 ERA and 9.4 K/9 and a low BB rate. Looks like he should get an opportunity to pitch with the Twins in September.
  8. bluechipper
    Ok yeah a .900 OPS might be on the high side, but with his eye at the plate and his improving power, a mid-.800 OPS with a few seasons above .900 seems possible.
  9. bluechipper
    That would be great, but I'm going to go a little more optimistic and hope for a .300/.400/.500 line from Kepler.
  10. bluechipper
    And Kepler has faced a left handed pitcher in 37.5% of his PA. Compare that to the 25% that Joe Mauer has faced this year.
  11. bluechipper
    Just looking at Luis Arraez's stats, they're very encouraging, except for one. He's got 0 stolen bases on the year. What does this say about his speed and athleticism?
  12. bluechipper
    Why would you consider adding Wimmers and dropping Tonkin? Tonkin has an 11.2 K/9 this year and he had a 2.65 ERA with a 9.7 K/9 in his time at AAA. Wimmers has a K/9 around 7 and an ERA around 4 in AAA.
  13. bluechipper
    Wimmers has a 4.35 ERA with 7.3 K/9 this year between AA and AAA, and he's 27 years old. His draft position is basically the only reason he'd be added and called up this year.
  14. bluechipper
    Great game today, Ervin... That's what I've heard anyways.
  15. bluechipper
    Or that said complete game was only 6 innings.
  16. bluechipper
    I know he tore his ACL a few years ago, and of course he was playing on a loaded GS team the last couple of years, but he's a 40% 3 point shooter for his career, so he should help in an area of need.
  17. bluechipper
    Brandon Rush is the newest member of the team. 1 year at $3.5M. I think it's a really nice signing for wing depth and 3 point shooting.
  18. bluechipper
    And Chris Herrmann.
  19. bluechipper
    I think OKC should just keep Russell and go for the 4/5 seed, and then hope Westbrook goes for 45 ppg against GS in the second round of the playoffs. That would be fun to watch.
  20. bluechipper
    According to today's minor league report article, Davis has been promoted to Cedar Rapids.
  21. bluechipper
    Byung Ho Park went 0-4 with 3 K's. And against a starter with an ERA around 7.
  22. bluechipper
    Those Joe Mauer stats just make me sad.
  23. bluechipper
    This move takes away from the big picture interest in the NBA this year. I'm still a huge NBA fan, but it's now basically a sure bet Warriors-Cavs rematch. Of course, the thing I'm most interested in is the Wolves development and them fighting for a playoff spot.
  24. bluechipper
    I wanted to see him and Westbrook take one more shot at GS, who they were up 3-1 on by the way. Then next offseason, Westbrook can go to the Lakers and Durant can go wherever he wants. I value great players wanting to be the reason their teams win championships, and not just be along for the ride, which is the position that an all time great in Durant has put himself in.
  25. bluechipper
    I think it's such a cheap move by Durant, and I was a big fan of his before this. I don't understand these elite players wanting to go chase rings.
