    Yeah, nobody gets out of a full-year at low-A, right?

    Caved in face? No problem. Eddie's "Rosa Rio" - Blogs - Minnesota Twins News & Rumors Forum Eddie is a baller
  3. mnfanforlife
    I have him in the top-5 for sure, but I cannot agree on the HR's...He might be a 15 homer guy in Minnesota, but not 28 like Mauer hit his MVP year. Awesome hitter though. Should be ready a year from now, but probably won't be starting 2014 in Minnesota
  4. mnfanforlife
    Whoa! Easy now...this is somewhat of a high-end projection. Watch out for the blue-meanies! Personally, I could not agree more.
  5. mnfanforlife
    Yep, in the original post....I disclaimed that we wont see Eddie this year....But I still think it would be fun!
  6. mnfanforlife
    Haha! Knoblauch was my favorite player growing up. And he was All-League for several years with the Twins. Would love to see that success happen for Eddie.

    So, you're more interested in what their "average" season may look like? I am more interested in what their "best" season may look like. Nothing wrong with either interest, is there?
  8. mnfanforlife
    Another Rosario fan! Great. Keep the optimistic thoughts going. The tone of these comments is refreshing.

    You mean a "career-.300-hitter" right?...and No. Kubel nor Hunter qualify for that since both are under .280 for their respective MLB careers. But Hicks could have a said "lucky" season in MLB where he finishes the year over .290...pretty reasonable statement as I think the original was taken out of context. My bad for not clarifying. I will probably cling to the hope that Hicks will resemble Hunter statistically until I am proven wrong. This year in AAA will be very telling. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if Hicks duplicated his numbers from AA. Would you be? If Hicks accomplishes this, what would you project his career-year stat-line to look like? (which is what my Hicks projection was intended to be)
  10. mnfanforlife
    Look, thank you for the statistical breakdown you provided to try and convince me that Hicks cannot ever hit .290 in MLB. But, I have the right to project whatever I want. If you don't think its good, then dont post on the thread. And yes, they were defending you. There is a little support group of posters that like to be very modest with projections and never risk any criticism. Don't be afraid to make mistakes! This is baseball...have some fun! Your stats proved absolutely nothing about Hicks. However, I do appreciate the effort. You cannot prove anything about Hicks' future right now. Time will prove that. I understand your thinking, but I will never think like that. I'm not afraid to make mistakes about prospects and I invite criticism. Go ahead and tell me the problems you have with this post...I promise to be respectful.

    Agreed. Hicks has a much higher ceiling than both Benson and Mastro. But why rush Hicks when he can stay in AAA til June, and secure another year of team control. Arcia is a better all -around hitter, but Hicks and Oswaldo will both serve vital roles in the 2014 line-up.
  12. mnfanforlife
    Hicks minor league career is very similar statistically to Hunter's. And Hicks has been compared to Hunter since draft day. Hicks could very well hit .300 in MLB someday..like Hunter did twice in his 30's....It is not out of the question to assert that Hicks will develop into a very similar player. So what are you talking about here?
  13. mnfanforlife
    Please teach me everything you know! I want to learn from the best - - The TD "Experts" - - they are always correct about every prospect. And they never stray from low-to-moderate projections! I can't wait for my first lecture. Its about how to squash your imagination by being overly-concerned with statistics.
  14. mnfanforlife
    You are always a quality human being. Thank you. No emotions. Just baseball.
  15. mnfanforlife
    Wow. We will see who is right or wrong about Hicks. As for your little "group think" session. Be careful what you're all so sure about...The vast majority of people at NASA believed the Challenger mission was "good to go" that fateful day, despite one engineer that was "crazy" enough to predict an O-ring failure. Obviously, these baseball projections mean nothing compared to the loss of human life. But its a good example of everyone going along with what the group thinks, even though they were all wrong. Hunter is a perfect comparison for Hicks. And I continue to assert that Hicks could very well have a career year of .290 with 25 HR's and 35 Sb's. I apologize for any confusion about the intentions of my "Hicks projection." Individuality is a good thing. Monotony of opinion is not. Be open-minded and allow positive things to enter your life.
  16. mnfanforlife
    Oh yes, can hardly keep them straight! Its still fun though. BTW...this is actually the Oswaldo Arcia thread!!! So you CAN be wrong! Amazing
  17. mnfanforlife
    Kab can speak for his or herself. If you hate my posts so much, just stop reading them! It really is your choice to ignore or to become involved. Kab's facts support the Hicks-Hunter comparison very well. Thank you Kab
  18. mnfanforlife
    Dude chill. Kab can stand up for his/herself. I know. Rosario won't play in Minnesota this year. Its in the original post/thread. I wasn't arguing anything. I was stating my opinion (would rather see Rasario struggle than the AAA guys struggle). It is a perfectly rational idea. I even disclaimed that IT WONT HAPPEN. So you can stop pretending like youre "above" anyone else on here. Because you ARE NOT
  19. mnfanforlife
    50 SB's if he sees 600 plate appearances?
  20. mnfanforlife
    You're so creative and wonderfully pleasant to talk baseball with
  21. mnfanforlife
    That's all you could gather huh? Yeah some "expert" said 6 years for Torii, and i was like, "Whoa!" He turned out to be pretty much dead-on. Yeah I think you missed the point that I was comparing their reputation as "great defenders" in their respective sports. But, hey, its your world Frog Daddy Geez, even an eight-yr-old can read an entire page without throwing a fit.

    I really like Benson. I think he could be serviceable this year. I actually would rather see him start in CF, than Mastro...but Darin could change my mind with a good spring.
  23. mnfanforlife
    Thank you for your opinion. The blog post had a point, whether you choose to see it or not. Did you read all of it? Because if you did not, I could see why you thought it was incoherent. I know, its almost an entire page long...might take a while.
  24. mnfanforlife
    I remember that interview! Cash money. Do another one after he travels to Minnesota in April
  25. mnfanforlife
    No, they will marvel at how hateful people used to be.
