  1. Prediction: Rosario > Hicks over the next three seasons.
  2. 80% of what people say about "makeup" is b.s.
  3. What's the average age of the Twins' bullpen vs. some other quality teams?
  4. Can't wait. Best case he turns out to be Jose Abreu 2.0.
  5. Prediction: young high-upside pitcher in the Meyer/May mold + an older average relief pitcher or 4th OF
  6. I'm glad I got to see Pinto a few times when he was mashing at the end of the '13 season! He looked great.
  7. It usually takes a while to figure out major league curveballs.
  8. Geez, let Sano play third. You want him in the OF instead?
  9. I guess you were right. You should get a TD prize for calling this shot.
  10. Why does anyone think Sano wouldn't look terrible in the OF? Willingham/Delmon-level...
  11. I feel like Walker's ceiling is Chris Carter. I suppose that's not so bad?
  12. Also, can we talk about this too then?
  13. +1 well written. there's also a good Cricket analogy at Deadspin in the comments: "Cricket had a similar thing happen. Its version of being on base is having some part of the batter’s body or bat grounded behind a line. With the introduction of replay, people were getting called out because, after having crossed the line, were temporarily in the air while in mid-stride, and being (technically) correctly called out. But it turns out the official rule makers for cricket are actually a fairly sensible bunch, so they changed the law to say that, once you’ve made that initial contact behind the line with your foot, you’re safe. The baseball version of that change would be harder to make, but surely someone could come up with a rule (or a comment on the rule) that allows things like this to go unpunished while still punishing the guy that overruns the base or steps off while the ball is still live."
  14. I live in Saint Paul and get into arguments with people about Mauer wherever I go, it seems. I usually feel like I'm the only one defending him, and the decision to sign him. The Twins had to do it and the contract was fair. Thanks for writing this up. I wish he would hit better too, but his injuries and amazing production as a 20-something buys him a whole lot of leash.
  15. like that would ever happen...
  16. http://junkee.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/cloud3.jpg
  17. First you need to have an ace for this to work.
  18. Not that I'm against this idea, but if you have the #1 farm system your chances of winning a MiLB championship go up quite a bit.
  19. "Trout-level is pretty rare." This is a massive understatement.
  20. Plouffe for prospects.
