    There isn't that much difference between AA and AAA. The big jumps are from rookie ball to A, A+ to Double A and then the big leagues. Triple A is mainly there to give veteran retreads a place to play.

    Jenkins is a pretty good bet to make it to the Mussels before the season ends. Keaschall is the same age as Rosario and Rodriguez in Cedar Rapids. He should get bumped up to that level but the Kernels infield is pretty full.
  3. DJL44
    Boras already got his commission. He has about 100 other clients to worry about.
  4. DJL44
    He'd be a very member of the playoff rotation. Ryan has been terrible.
  5. DJL44
    Try first base!
  6. DJL44
    If there were only 21 outs then they would still be playing the game. They had a bunch of hits which means their K/PA ratio was just fine.
  7. DJL44
    I don't. Julien is currently about 20 runs below average if you extrapolate out a whole season. He doesn't turn the pivot well. He might be able to improve from "poor" to "below average" but the Twins have Brooks Lee waiting in AAA.
  8. DJL44
    DH doesn't add any difficulty beyond what he's doing at 2B. He already plays on the correct side of the dirt to add 1B. All he has to add is scooping throws. Julien needs to find a home where they won't pull him for a defensive replacement in the 8th inning.

    I think the Germans add syllables when they run words together.
  10. DJL44
    Prato is doing what they wanted Austin Martin to do.
  11. DJL44
    JULIEN - move the sub-par 2B to 1B!!!
  12. DJL44
    Is Keaschall going to make it to Cedar Rapids before the season ends?
  13. DJL44
    I think they should be doing that now even with a healthy Joey Gallo. The obvious answer (to me) is to give Julien a first baseman's mitt.
  14. DJL44
    If Jeffers catches 5 out of 7 games his offense will surely suffer.
  15. DJL44
    I thought Mauer made a good speech. It was far better than Dan Gladden's drunken ramble about his wife's chest.
  16. DJL44
    I don't think it would hurt Varland, Headrick or Woods-Richardson to spend the rest of the year in the bullpen. Varland is at 110+ innings pitched on the season. They could give Ortega another chance and add Funderburk if they need a lefty. Beyond that it's probably watching the waiver wire.
  17. DJL44
    It wasn't even an either/or decision. They had the chance to keep Coulombe and Sands. For some reason they kept the young relievers with options on the Opening Day roster instead of sending them to AAA. That's just foolish. A team will need 10-15 relievers to get through the season. The younger pitchers will get plenty of opportunities. Stockpile depth in the bullpen to start the season.
  18. DJL44
    The A's have decided to give Ramon Laureano to whoever picks up the contract. The Twins should claim him if someone else doesn't first.
  19. DJL44
    Part of that is the save stat itself. You can't get a save in the 8th inning but you can get a blown save in the 8th inning. The rest of the bullpen has 55 holds which would mean they have 61 Saves + Holds against 17 Blown Saves.

    I don't doubt there is soreness, but if he's really injured how is it not effecting his velocity? Pretty much every MLB player has aches and pains this time of the season. I guess if that qualifies for the injured list, why not.
  21. DJL44
    I'm going to guess it's a make-believe groin injury.
  22. DJL44
    He's not injured, he's just ineffective. You can't go on the injured list for being bad at baseball.
  23. DJL44
    Which is the same as not doing it. That's a not-accomplishment.
  24. DJL44
    It is very unlikely Mauer gets elected on the first ballot. Catchers very rarely get elected on the first ballot. Piazza and Berra didn't get elected on the first ballot. I think the whole list of first ballot catchers is Johnny Bench and Pudge Rodriguez.
  25. DJL44
    I wouldn't call Kiersey a bust. It was always a long shot he would contribute as a major leaguer. It's still kind of a long shot. He's 26, this might be his career year and he's still only an .850 OPS in Double-A. That won't play as more than a 4th outfielder. He could be a fun addition when rosters expand as a pinch-runner, he can steal a base.
