    Agreed, he is interesting as a relief conversion project. I’m not sure I’d risk losing him, but it depends on who else I would need to protect. According to AZ Phil if Stewart were waived unclaimed and outrighted to AAA he would be rule 5 eligible. Whether or not he would be claimed if waived, and/or drafted via rule 5, I’m not sure. I might be tempted to sneak him through waivers when rosters expand in September. https://www.thecubreporter.com/mlb-rule-5-draft Quote: 4. Any player on a minor league reserve list who has either been released or had his contract voided and then re-signs with the same MLB organization within one year is eligible for selection. 5. Any player on a minor league reserve list who has been outrighted to the minors previously in his career is eligible for selection. End quote

    yup, exactly why you bring up Stewart over Thorpe, so you can get a look at him to decide if you want to waive him at season end and expose him to the rule 5, in favor of one of the 5 or so other decisions to be made in Nov
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    Stewart needs to be protected from the Rule 5 draft. Thorpe is a no brainer. He’s getting protected no matter what. Stewart needs some more evaluation.
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    agreed he should be a reliever, but i’d rather May be more of a fireman ala Miller. Heart of the lineup in the 7th or 8th get May warmed up.
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    Wow, lots of vitriol over a player venting. I support the FO in selling. I don’t expect Erv to like it. If I were in either of their shoes i’d feel the same way. It’s time to move on from Erv. He’s hurting his value by playing hurt. It’s a lost year for him and the Twins. Time to bring up the kids.

    Field?.... ick
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    I missed one little sentence and y’all gotta make deal about it?
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    Why did LoMo pinch run for Grossman?
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    please tell me someone got that young man some hot dogs!
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    For Dozier's benefit, or because you're sick of hearing him gripe?

  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    they already have Moya up, they need two loogy?
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    exactly! And there’s 11-12 pitchers in Rochester and 11-12 pitchers in Chattanooga, odds are you’ll find a guy or two of 22-24 that surprises you. There’s one 2nd baseman at each. You have to manage the position player pool differently.
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    I guess we’ll agree to disagree. Something to consider - Pressly was a rule 5 draftee. Most MLB relievers are drafted as starters. Most relievers have very good years, or very good stretches, but only a handful are very good year after year. In my mind relievers are to be churned through as a consumptive commodity. One that gets purchased in bulk and you sift through and decide who’s a starter, who’s a reliever, who’s on the AAAA Rochester express, and who’s minor league fodder. I feel pretty good that they’ll find another Pressly or two soon.

    Every year I wonder why HOF festivities don’t coincide with the All Star break
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    I don’t see trading Dozier as punting either. Relief pitchers are fungible. Infield tandem of Polanco 2B Adrianza SS probably yields a better hitting and fielding combo than Dozier/Polanco. Added bonus, Adrianza covers more ground to help with Sano’s Lack of lateral mobility too. Dozier can still provide some prospect assets and no way is he getting a QO anyways... trading him now is win/win
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    why are you shouting at Hugh? What did Hugh do to you?
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    Boston or Colorado, I guess. Correct, not much of a market left. To get much for Dozier, Brewers needed to be still in the mix
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    Red Sox or maybe Rockies? Moustakas trade really threw me
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    I don’t believe I am smarter than you Chief, but i’ll Take a stab... His first season was 2015, his birthday is July 1995, so assuming he signed then immediately joined the team, that would put him 19 at the time. I gotta think if he signed earlier, he’d play pro ball during his 18 season... so, with 2018 being his 4th rule 5 draft, he’ll need to be added to the 40 to protect him.
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    I think relievers may be viewed by the FO as more fungible than starters. I’m not yet convinced they’ll deal Gibby. Dozier on the other hand...
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    With Escobar and Pressly gone, Dozier is a lock to be traded right?
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    the guy lost 20lbs. Maybe he’s done most of the designed work. Where’s Parker with the Sano GIFs
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    3 propects coming back per Gambadoro https://twitter.com/Gambo987/status/1022942114206937089 Depends, but I'm glad to have gotten prospects back for 2 months of Esco - now I hope Falvine re-signs him in the offseason.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    I wish I could like this again. Gibson plus Krilliof isn’t getting it done straight up, but might in a 3 team swap
