    Show Iowa some respect.

    Nice win. I didn't have much confidence early when they ran on 3rd and 7 and 3rd and 11 on their first few drives.
  3. bluechipper
    I'm really optimistic that this year's team can be one of the top 5 offenses in the AL and hopefully get in the 175 HR range.
  4. bluechipper
    Even though 2010-2012 was there two best players' primes?
  5. bluechipper
    The Tigers better be going for it this year and next. They are getting old fast.
  6. bluechipper
    Skal Labissiere is terrible right now. I really like what I've seen from Ellenson, and he's probably more realistic where the Wolves will actually pick around #10.
  7. bluechipper
    This would probably be the second or third best team in the West if it had 03/04 Garnett. Headed towards a showdown with the Warriors in the WCF.
  8. bluechipper
    I'm going to disagree with the original prediction of Berrios not being up until August. I would predict more in May or June at the latest. I'm very optimistic about this year. 89 wins.
  9. bluechipper
    I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but with Arcia already being the 4th outfielder, I don't know where another OFer would fit or be needed. If the young guys aren't ready, call up the next one- Kepler.
  10. bluechipper
    I don't understand all the add a veteran outfielder talk. That just adds another guy to block Buxton and Kepler, even if it was just a one year deal guy. This team has had a top 3 farm system for years. Let them play. That's where the improvement will come from.
  11. bluechipper
    Then it's a good thing there's plenty of room for Buxton in Minnesota.
  12. bluechipper
    There's a reason why they did nothing with the pitching. They have young guys in Berrios and Duffey ready to contribute, and there's reasonable hope that Phil Hughes bounces back, to go along with a solid Gibson and Santana.
  13. bluechipper
    Fernando Abad is interesting. He had a really good year two years ago with pretty good strikeout numbers the past few years.
  14. bluechipper
    Taking age, contracts, etc into account, who would you trade Karl-Anthony Towns for? I honestly don't think I would trade him for anyone...
  15. bluechipper
    This losing streak is frustrating, but the play of Towns is incredible. Rubio was awesome last night too. I'm also starting to really like Lavine in his current Jamal Crawford role, but I wonder what he would look like as the starting two.
  16. bluechipper
    Actually I agree with you on the second point, but that seems to be changing. Having one below average outfielder paired with two really good ones in an effort to boost the offense seems like a good idea to me.
  17. bluechipper
    Byron Buxton was also seeing his first major league pitching and having his season interrupted by injury and coming off a lost season. I think it's pretty easy to see an upgrade and CF in 2016.
  18. bluechipper
    And the Twins don't? Rosario and Buxton are top tier fielders. Plouffe is staying at third largely because he's a good defender. So you're saying that Schwarber is such a terrible defender, that it doesn't matter where they play him? I've read that he could be an average defensive catcher.
  19. bluechipper
    Arcia posted a better OPS than Hunter's just two years ago. Last year the DH spot had 21 HR and 82 RBI with a .759 OPS, I think that's a reasonable optimistic stat line for Park. Last year CF had a ..656 OPS, I think Buxton/Santana/Rosario can easily top that.
  20. bluechipper
    The genius Cubs are putting a horrific defender in Kyle Schwarber in the outfield because he isn't great at his natural position and is blocked by a slightly above average player at that position. Sound familiar?
  21. bluechipper
    I would say that Arcia has the potential to be a big upgrade over Hunter. Park at DH for a year is probably about the same or better hopefully as Sano/nothing for half the year. This guy named Byron Buxton has the chance to be a decent player too.
  22. bluechipper
    This year's offense should be much better than last year's. Eduardo Escobar for a full season, Byung Ho Park, John Ryan Murphy, Oswaldo Arcia bouncing back hopefully, and oh yeah two top ten prospects spending the whole year with the team.
  23. bluechipper
    I think the whole question of should it be Mauer or Sano who moves to the outfield is overstated. I'm sure they'd both be fine out there, but Sano probably has a chance to be better. I don't think that Sano is the type of guy who will let playing in the OF affect who he is at the plate either. And for everyone clamoring to trade Plouffe, this lineup looks really good the way it currently stands.
  24. bluechipper
    Well they've got to play Mauer somewhere, and 1B is pretty much the only option.
  25. bluechipper
    I don't understand how Sano's minor league stolen base numbers are a good reflection of his athleticism. How about referencing him topping 20 mph on a triple this year instead. As far as being an outfielder wearing him down, really? If a 23 year old can't stand/run around in the outfield for a few hours a night, then we've really got some problems.
