    Why? An ERA and other stats that make it likley they'll lose more than they win, isn't exactly encouraging. (remember, the post was about him being as "good" as last year, not how he'd be better this year). I mean, an ERA over 5 and not going long into games, and only pitching 140 or so innings doesn't exactly scream "I am good enough to help my team win". Is it better than an ERA over 6? Sure. But is that enough to win games? Is that how low the bar is now, bad, but not awful?

    we disagree. Imo, if you decide to pass on starting pitching when you have early picks, and don't like to trade prospects (as the FO was quoted as saying last week), you need to be great at hitting and defense. I hope no one is going to come back and say it is "easy" to find good players later, since for the entire existence of this site, people said teams cycle in competitiveness based on when they draft....

    In any event....he could be a great player. I hope so. Since they don't have enough pitching, they need to hit and play defense better and better.

    Tampa dumped salary, but they are still projected to be around 500 or so. They are probably better in pitching, and a little worse than hitting, than last year. KC otoh, is shedding salary and likely worse. I don't care much about what hand a pitcher uses, just that he's good. Duffey is an interesting option.

    If they won't take guys on social media, why is Rooker in this system?
  6. Mike Sixel
    That's not exactly encouraging....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm out. If people don't want to look at all the available information, and compare him to other first basemen, that's their right.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I forgot about Wade! Big fan.

    AAA has pitching, but other than Gordon, is there a single hitter that is a good prospect? I have no idea, but I can't think of one.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Why not? Just curious. I pay for insider, and am a member at fangraphs. I've purchased the handbook here.

    Joe 3:23 Is Minnesota still adding players or are they done? Steve Adams 3:24 I don't feel like they can just add Jake Odorizzi and say their rotation is set now. They're still looking for starters. Paul Molitor 4:23 I hate to pencil Vargas in at DH after he hasn't grabbed ahold of any of the opportunities I've given him. Is there a better RH bat available that justifies the higher cost? Steve Adams 4:25 I think they should just sign Logan Morrison, personally. He's hit lefties at an above-average rate over the past two offseasons, and they can grab Napoli or someone as a cheap RH bench bat if they really want a veteran with more of a track record. Still have Grossman around as well, who didn't hit lefties much last year but has a better track record of doing so Danny Duffy 4:28 With the Royals now pretty much saying they are fully committed to the rebuild, should teams start calling on me again? Steve Adams 4:29 I don't think teams should ever have stopped. The Brewers and Twins should be driving Dayton Moore insane. Tim 4:29 Does Odorizzi trade mean Twins won't make a(nother) run at a trade for Archer? Steve Adams 4:30 They'll be continuing their efforts there and on virtually every other front either until Opening Day or until they get another arm https://www.jotcast.com/chat/chat-with-mlbtrs-steve-adams-2-20-18-3030.html

    Cold in Minnesota: I’ve seen it mentioned the Twins could move Fernando Romero to the bullpen. It’s way too soon for that discussion considering the lack of frontline SP they’ve been able to develop or sign, right? 1:32 Eric A Longenhagen: I agree that it makes sense to continue developing him as a starter in case it works out, yes. Because the value he adds if it does is really substantial.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Dusty: Is Wander Javier someone to keep an eye on this year? What would you say is his biggest obstacle? 1:29 Eric A Longenhagen: Yes, needs to mature, physically.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Guest: Is Palacios as light a return for Odorizzi as is commonly believed? 12:49 Eric A Longenhagen: If you think Odorizzi is a 2 WAR guy moving forward, it’s a little light in a vacuum. 12:49 Eric A Longenhagen: Palacios is a 40 FV guy, Odorizzi is a 45 or 50 if he bounces back, but I doubt TB had trade leverage in a market full of FA pitchers who haven’t signed.

    It would be unprecedented, I'd think.
  16. Mike Sixel
    It was inevitable he move off third at some point. He was decent there last year. His injury was not caused by weight. This does remind me of the hrbek talk, but with a lot more accusations of laziness or him not respecting the team than hrbek got... It would be greater if he was in elite shape, but this is still an elite hitter we are discussing
  17. Mike Sixel
    Cool article! Thanks
  18. Mike Sixel
    His defense is in that WAR.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Compared to other first basemen....I posted the link.

    Can we just ignore the BA list now? It is such an outlier..... As for Romero..... If they are in serious contention after the ASB, he should be in Minnesota in the bullpen. He can always be stretched back out. You only get so many years of good okaty, health, and luck. Continuing to always wait for next year gets you hope, with little to show for it. If he's a shutdown bullpen arm, and they are a legit team, he should be here.

    In going to ask a favor..... Let's keep the long discussions out of here. Previously people have asked us for this to mostly be a news aggregator thread. Thanks.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Sanchez drops two pitches and is still a starter?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I did. And? Growth is not linear. Just ask the Diamondbacks.... They were sure they'd just get better in a line. Their GM even said it. They were universally mocked, and fired the next off-season.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Good stuff, looking forward to more!
  25. Mike Sixel
    Without injuries, the Sox and Yankees are very likely in the playoffs, as are the Clevelands... That means there is really only one spot available, must likely. Gonna be tough.
