    KLaw really likes the "total package" guys, and defense is a huge part of that package. If Sano is going to play below-average defense, his "best offensive prospect in the minors" status is only going to carry him so high.

    So you haven't read the material to which I refer, but you don't hesitate in telling me I'm wrong? Good to know.
  3. Beezer07
    This sounds exactly like what every other manager in the league does.
  4. Beezer07
    No. Because everything he writes for ESPN is complete garbage. Ever read one of his "here are some trades that need to happen" articles?
  5. Beezer07
    Not that I necessarily disagree with the ranking, but the one rule I have with ESPN's mlb coverage is this: Completely ignore anything Jim Bowden has to say.

    What? The Twins didn't get a K-level prospect (NOTE: This would be several levels below a C-level prospect) for an essentially valueless player?!? OUTRAGE!!!!!
  7. Beezer07
    "Wrong" as in "unjust"? Yes. "Wrong" as in "inaccurate"? Sadly, no.

    Willingham K, Doumit gets a walk, Plouffe DP
  9. Beezer07
    Are we talking "you can throw the ball at the player to get an out" early days, or later than that?
  10. Beezer07
    Doumit took a year and a half to wind up and throw that ball to first.
  11. Beezer07
    Plouffe has hit .176 in his career with the bases loaded? I didn't even know it was mathematically possible to be that bad.
  12. Beezer07
    I'm not usually one to complain about umps and strike zones, but....this guy has been terrible thus far. Just horrible.
  13. Beezer07
    So...you're just ignoring Willingham's last season? I get that he has been below average offensively and has always been terrible defensively, but come on.
  14. Beezer07
    Little League-sized strike zone right there.
  15. Beezer07
    I think Mauer calls a good game, and does the best with what he has. And it'd probably be best for Deduno if he didn't take shots at his catchers...at least until he does something worthwhile in the majors. Plus, can't he just throw the breaking ball in the dirt anyway?
  16. Beezer07
    Don't worry, AVG isn't a counting stat, so you're free to like it.
  17. Beezer07
    Don't know if he hits well enough to win the gold glove.
  18. Beezer07
    Except Verlander has dozens and dozens of superbly pitched games to bolster his pitching resume. Hedricks doesn't have those. This comparison doesn't really hold any water. P.S. I don't really like Hendricks as a starting pitcher.
  19. Beezer07
    Liam Hendricks is why we can't have nice things.
  20. Beezer07
    This is actually not a terrible idea at all. Although it assumes that the Twins can compete for a playoff spot with Mauer catching only, say, 25% of the time. I think part of my concern is that moving Mauer from behind the plate to 1B on a regular basis might "cost" the Twins 3-ish wins per season, which could be the difference between playoffs and not playoffs.
  21. Beezer07
    Yes, but HICKS! (Kidding, sorta). Buxton is just absolutely destroying right now. Big fan of the more walks than strikeouts.
  22. Beezer07
    Are you being serious when you say this? A bad 1/2 season = will never be good?
  23. Beezer07
    Why do I get the feeling that this is merely a convenient argument that has nothing to do with why you really don't like considering WAR. And either way, just pick one site and go with it. Shane's point is it is crazy that there still exists the inability to realize that two players who have equal offensive statistics, one at catcher and one at 1B, are nowhere near the same level of value to a major league team.
  24. Beezer07
    Again, you're arguing how much his hits count. Everyone else is arguing that his value as a hitter is higher (and much, much higher) as a catcher than as a 1B or DH. And again, there isn't any disputing this, as it's based on math. If you don't agree with WAR, or the math behind it, that's fine. But a good-hitting catcher is worth way more to a team than a good-hitting first baseman. Why? because you can find a decent 1B a lot of other places, while most other catchers are complete garbage on offense.
  25. Beezer07
    Soooooo excited for Buxton to get to the majors and succeed. Just can't wait for someone so highly touted to actually play for my favorite team, for once! And I hope Hicks turns it around. Talk about an amazing defensive outfield.
