    I have never been a believer. Not even when he was in the minors. Lee was never really dominant in Milb and he is a mediocre at best defender. I would love to be wrong. He has been great for his last roughly 100 ABs. Let's hope this is a break-out and not just a hot streak.

    IDK exactly how to define "under the radar" but there are quite a few unheralded prospects playing very well right now. Ben Ross has kind of cone out of nowhere. Ricardo Olivar and Billy Amick are both pretty well-known but their stock was down based on performance over the past couple years. Those two guys are playing great. Jaime Ferrer is raking. Yasser Mercedes stock had been down but he has put himself back on the map. If there is a silver lining right now it's all the prospects that have picked it up a notch or two. I didn't include Prielipp, Quick or Ellwanger because I think the expectations for those three were high.

    If the goal is to go from 70 wins to 73 wins, then yes, keeping Larnach makes sense. He is not at all important if your goal is to build a 90-win team. For those of us who think these half measures generally produce mediocrity or less, it does not matter if Larnach is here to get us to 73 or 75 wins. It just takes up a roster spot that could be used to audition players that could contribute to building a contender. We also don’t know if Rodriguez or Jenkins would be hurt if they had been brought up. We do know that Rodriguez would not have made the slide into 1B that got him hurt and Jenkins would not have run into the wall on the play that got him hurt.

    I would be thrilled with this acquisition if Gomez became a reliable 7th inning option.
  16. Major League Ready
    Trades for prospects are not made for the impact on the following season. Should we judge the Duran trade based on him not making it to the majors until 4 seasons later? Looking at this through this lens makes absolutely no sense.
  17. Major League Ready
    Great. I would love to hear the basis for your disagreement? Are you suggesting there are teams with 3 or 4 MLB proven starters sitting in AAA? If so, give us some examples. If that's not your contention I would love to hear why you disagree without any examples. If these MLB ready SPs are not in AAA, where are they?
  18. Major League Ready
    Ask yourself .... How many teams in the league this year or any other year have 8 or 9 SPs with a proven track record. It does not exist. Therefore, why would anyone define depth in the context of proven starting pitchers? Depth is and always has been in the form of prospects that are ready or veterans on Milb contracts looking to make a comeback. I would call Abel, Prielipp, Rojas, and Morris good depth.

    Arcia is a better SS than Lee so it would be more likely Lee slides to 3rd and Arcia plays SS. I like the idea. We are better short-term and if Arcia plays well he could be a decent trade piece at the deadline. That would give Culpepper a little more time to work on his approach at AAA. His defense looks ready to me.
  21. Major League Ready
    Ben Ross is probably a better OFer than Outman. He tore up AA, got promoted and stunk it up for the first 5 games. He has only played 11 AAA games so I am not suggesting they should bring him up in the immediate future. However, the last 6 games his line is .300. / 500. / 750 for a 1.250 OPS. For the season .337 / .454 / .663 for an OPS of 1.117 He can't possibly be worse the Outman. I hope he gets a shot 4-6 weeks from now if he continues to play well. They could also put him at SS, move Brooks to 3B and give Lewis a reset at AAA.
  22. Major League Ready
    I have been watching the Saints games and Gonzalez looks like he can stick at 1B which is a nice development but he is not hitting. (.643 OPS). They are not going to dump Bell just yet or perhaps ever if history replays itself. However, if they could somehow move Bell, Sabato would be a lot more likely to get a shot. He has been red hot.

    I think they will move Lee to 3rd and use Arcia at SS. I would like to see Culpepper up but I worry about his approach. I have watched about half the Saints games and ML pitchers will exploit his lack of discipline. The question is do you work on that in St. Paul or use this opportunity to give him a shot. His defense is legit.
  27. Major League Ready
    I was thinking the same. Might be time to let Cardenas go. He would be a black hole at the ML level. The other problem in getting Olivar ABs in AAA is all the OF depth. Perhaps the picture becomes clearer a month down the road. If Olivar is still anywhere near this hot they need to get him to AAA. Tait and Olivar could be quite the catching tandem in the future.
  28. Major League Ready
    Ricardo Olivar's has 10 HRs in his last 13 games with an OPS of 1.507. (.362 / .464 / 1.043)

  30. Major League Ready
    A potential deal with Boston at last year's deadline seemed legit. Could they have gotten Arias and another top prospect? Maybe that speculation by the baseball writers was never going to happen. However, if that possibility was real, their delusions of being a contender this year really hurt the team's future. How good would the future look with Arias, and the #3 pick in a couple months. Arias is hitting .346 / .426 / .704 at AA as a 20 year old.
  31. Major League Ready
    I would assume the guys that can go longer would be used in a more traditional way. Perhaps 3 traditional SPs and 4 that piggy-back still leaves 6 BP arms.
