    No. Since you asked.

    Very nice AM. I will gladly take Sano. For me, it was between Sano and Buxton.

    I think a series of question marks about Eddie is this: What if he had not been struck in the face? Would he have played in A+ last year? How much? Would that experience have accelerated his timetable a bit? How much? How much does his performance in the winter leagues and WBC affect his standing with Terry Ryan and staff?
  4. mnfanforlife
    Again...No. I do not believe Rosario is near the level of Mike Trout. OK...everyone please..... With a different organization, Eddie may have remained an outfielder. Maybe his hypothetical organization has a need in CF? If so, He would have been pushed a little faster than spending two years in rookie ball and another in low-A. Again, as an outfielder, he could have breezed up to AA by now with the offensive skills he possesses. If he would have tore up AA last year, he would be a realistic possibility with an MLB club to start 2013. BUT....since he is converting to 2B to fill a need with MN...he will take much longer to get to the big leagues. 24-yr-old rookie probably. Whereas he could have easily been 23-or-younger-rookie with the perfect fit of an organization. Maybe he gets a Sept call-up for his 22nd birthday in the event of broken legs to Hicks, Mastro, and Benson? We would need a CF that can hit.

    Ceiling projection or a "career-year" is what I had in mind with the numbers that have caused such sour moods. Sorry everyone. People will believe what they want. Including myself. I encourage all posters on TD to believe what they want as well. Go ahead and disagree, it makes this site more fun. Thank you. Have a good night.

    "Throwing out a projection that is 4 pts higher than his best season ever is WAY over optimistic" - sounds like a contradiction to me. Four pts on a batting average is insignificant. There is no doubt in my mind Hicks can hit.290 in the major leagues someday. Its not WAY over-optimistic. .260 is more likely, but I don't give a crap about your practical visions. Thanks for reading my posts. They must be good since you feel the need to inject and infect them with boredom.

    Uh...yeah. The point of the thread is to point out that I'd rather see Rosario (who is not close to ready) struggle in Minnesota this year, than see Jamey Carroll and three AAA-ceiling talents get the opportunity ahead of Eddie. Its not difficult to comprehend the "huge leap" between each level. I mean, this isn't like traveling through interstellar space. What, exactly, is so tough to understand about the difference between A+ and AA and AAA baseball?
  8. mnfanforlife
    Thank you for your post. Ha. With another organization, he'd probably be in an MLB centerfield right now.
  9. mnfanforlife
    Some can't imagine this, but it's not completely out-of-the-question. Won't happen, just like I said in the original post. Right player for that. Wrong organization for that.

    Constantly? Get real. Are you one of those people that thinks prohibition is the answer? Sheesh

    Oh ScottyB...you're such a nice person. (Yawn)

    It will be interesting to see where Rosario finishes 2013...floor is A+...ceiling is Sept call-up
  16. mnfanforlife
    Probably wont see Eddie for another three full seasons. I agree he needs a little time to get comfortable at 2B...but we need him to learn on-the-job in Minnesota. I say start him in A+ and promote him based on offensive performance, regardless of how he is playing defensively. If he keeps hitting in AA later this year...then let the upper level coaches teach him how to play defense. They are getting paid more than the A+ coaches, right? Well let them show why they deserve to be coaches in AA and AAA, and have them teach this kid how to play a serviceable 2-bag over the next two seasons. There is no reason for Eddie to be a minor-leaguer past 2014. None
  17. mnfanforlife
    Another prospect, Miguel Sano, hit .258 last year....Yet, many pro-scouts project him to hit for a high average as he matures. Hicks' situation is not identical, but I like how he handled AA last year. Made a huge jump in hit/at-bat ratio from A+ to AA...why not expect him to maintain those numbers in AAA, and ultimately in MLB??
  18. mnfanforlife
    Hicks hit .286 last year, and .290 isn't exactly "off-the-charts" as conceivable for Hicks in the big-leagues. I believe Hicks will have more hits/at-bats as he gets in to his late-20's and through his 30's....I stand by my projections, and I'm not afraid to be bold with my predictions. If you discredit my projections, then that is your right. I'm sorry that you're not very optimistic.
  19. mnfanforlife
    All kidding aside....Joe Benson could be a very serviceable MLB outfielder in 2013.
