  1. A "Hicks" in the hand is worth two in AAA
  2. All I can say about Tim Wood....Good God! wtf man
  3. Juan Carlos is a liar, and he will always be a liar. True SS though
  4. The God particle? Hilarious!
  5. Stuck In the Middle With Who???
  6. I cannot think of ANY TIME that I would rather see my guys get doubled-up than an infield pop-up
  7. That's kind of how projections work...you make them up. The only number that was a reach was the 25 HR's.
  8. Yeah, Hicks is getting better....slowly. He will hit for power, but maybe 25 HR's is a high projection for him. Every other number is pretty much what he did at NB. His hit/at-bat ratio was good last year, even though he has moved up a level after hitting .242
  9. I think he is ready because he was awesome post-face-surgery, and stepped it up a notch in winter ball. Its like the Sano situation...He played low-A, but was the 1st overall pick in the winter-draft back home. He is obviously being handled with kid gloves, and likewise for Rosario. For better or worse, i dont know. I just want to see them being challenged.
  10. These points you have made here, cannot be argued with. Completely agree. I hope Dozier can reporduce his NB numbers with Minnesota....then you can play Dozier at SS and Rosario at 2B in 2014.
  11. Yeah. Trout is on another level. Eddie is a very talented offensive force, and will be a top-of-the order guy in the bigs. Offensively, Eddie is ready. Defensively, no.
  12. I would bet that at this time next year, people will be screaming for Rosario to start the season in Minnesota. And...if you read the post, it's hardly an overreaction to anything. Facts are stated, as well as my opinion. It would be A LOT MORE FUN to watch Eddie struggle in the majors, than to see the AAA clown squad we are going to roll out there this season
  13. If Dozier is so "ready", then maybe he can play shortstop for Minnesota? In my opinion, Carrol is a bench guy, and Florimon and Escobar are AAA material. Eddie is MLB material. Dozier might be, but he sure didn't look like it during his extended playing time with MN last year. Obviously we won't see Eddie next year in Minnesota. But it sure would be more fun than seeing these other posers.
  14. Eddie is better than Dozier offensively, right now. I think, since the big club is gonna suck this year, that Rosario will get at least 2 years of defensive work in the minor leagues.
  15. Yes!! There is an awesome 2-bagger playing in front of Rosario for the WBC. His name is Falu. I played with a Puerto Rican that knows him personally. Falu is a pimp. But so is Eddie, he's just young.
  16. Back to "The Blizzard of Oz" - - - I envision a stat line like this in Minnesota: .300 hitter, 90 Runs, 45 doubles, 25 homers, 100+ RBI. Great 3-hole or 5-hole hitter.
  17. If Hicks just gets a little bit better...you can imagine these offensive stats: .290 hitter, 100 Runs, 160 hits, 35 doubles, 10 triples, 25 homers, 35 stolen bases. Nice lead-off hitter with power. Think Shannon Stewart or better as a hitter, and Gold Glove potential defender.
