    I'm really interested in Granite too. He's hitting .302 with 32 stolen bases now. He looks like a possible 4th OFer type of guy.
  2. bluechipper
    I'd rather see Jorge Polanco up, and then rotate the DH spot.
  3. bluechipper
    True, but the bad part is the 4 year deals given to free agents next year will overlap more with the big contracts that will need be given to Dieng, Wiggins, Lavine, and Towns over the next 3 years.

    Rosario in left.. and Danny Santana in CF. Um...what? The day after Buxton gets 2 hits, you sit him on the bench for Santana, who's under .100 against left handers? Sounds like a good plan to me.

    Big misplay on a David Ortiz fly ball tonight. I'm not sure if the ball hit the catwalk or not. With Arcia, you can never tell.
  6. bluechipper
    The Pirates have a Lithuanian pitcher named Dovydas Neverauskas who made the team. Now that's pretty interesting.
  7. bluechipper
    Marvin Williams would be really good as a smallish stretch-4/bench SF. He shot over 40% from 3 last year on almost 5 attempts per game.
  8. bluechipper
    Also, someone named Christian Stewart of the Tigers made the USA team as an outfielder. He's got 18 HRs, but is hitting .248 in High-A, and the Tigers have 2 representatives. Not a huge deal, but I think Daniel Palka has a stronger case.
  9. bluechipper
    High draft pick Carson Fulmer and his 5.28 ERA made the team. I'm guessing every team has to be represented then. Don't the White Sox have anyone having a better season than that?
  10. bluechipper
    Maybe? That probably the most pessimistic projection for Sano that I've read.
  11. bluechipper
    I was hoping it was 3B only now, especially when he started his first few games there.
  12. bluechipper
    I'd also consider this year a success so far. In repeating Ft. Myers, he lowered his ERA from 3.20 to 2.61, and probably the more important part is increasing his K/9 from 4.9 to 7.7. It is also interesting how we consider Stewart as maybe not living up to expectations even though he was a 2 sport guy out of high school, and he's got a 2.93 ERA in his minor league career.
  13. bluechipper
    Eddie Rosario is in a little cold spell too. He's 0-18 in his last 4 games.
  14. bluechipper
    I guess the good news is that he committed an error out there. But yeah, it's just completely ridiculous that they're continuing to entertain the idea of Sano in RF.
  15. bluechipper
    A 3.80 ERA in 47 innings at AA in 2015 and then a 3.17 ERA again at AA this year, with 4.3 BB/9. I'm not sure how this debut is going to go.
  16. bluechipper
    Also, during the game on Saturday, Terry Ryan mentioned Trevor May along with Ryan Pressly as guys who he liked when he was asked something about the bullpen.
  17. bluechipper
    Yes it does matter. No one knows if the Twins will be contending next year or not. They were in the hunt until the final weekend last year, so who knows. This isn't the NBA where you can pretty easily predict which teams will be awful and which won't.
  18. bluechipper
    Aaron Hicks has a .609 OPS for the season. I don't think "fleeced" is the right word.
  19. bluechipper
    I absolutely do not want to trade Byron Buxton, but if they did, I would expect/want nothing less than a Chris Archer/Steven Matz type of return.
  20. bluechipper
    Vargas is hitting .234 with a .776 OPS in AAA this year, so not much to be excited about. I'd rather bring Polanco up, send Park down, and then rotate the DH spot.
  21. bluechipper
    Arcia has shown no improvement at all in the playing time that he has gotten this year since his terrible 2015. I like the effort that he put into his body being in great shape, and he seemed like a really good teammate, but he's just not a good enough player to get worked up about this move.
  22. bluechipper
    Arcia has been awful at the plate for 2 years in a row now, striking out at an absurd rate, and he offers nothing other than his bat. He is easily replaceable. So what's the big deal?
  23. bluechipper
    I guess I'm one of the few who are confused by the extreme overreaction to this move then.
  24. bluechipper
    With Harrison, the walks are nice, but the hitting ability, power, and fielding are not. I think his draft position is the only reason he still gets ranked on Twins prospect lists.
  25. bluechipper
    Good to see the Rays got what sounds like a future HOF player (based on TD commenters) who can help beat up the Yankees and Red Sox.
