    He wasn't arguing. He tweeted that the Twins should not be buyers. Then he tweeted that this kind of buying makes sense. He tweeted about a lot of teams and what they should do, that's his job. Then when they did something, he followed up. And, lots of people have suggested the Twins trade real prospects for Gray, for example. Lots of people. Especially here and on FG chats and other places.

    if this is like Heroes, I may never watch tv again.

    I'm not sure he thought they'd do anything major, neither of us thought they would.....but I'd guess he would be opposed to trading top prospects for 1 player. He's not a believer in them being 1 player away this year.

    for this year? No way. Way too late. If you need an emergency starter you have 3 guys in AA, and even a guy or two in AAA.

    FWIW, Dave Cameron (one of the FG guys), tweeted that while he was in theory opposed to the Twins buying, trading a low level guy for an average pitcher is a good deal (paraphrasing here).

    this was just posted: Jake 12:34 Have you had a chance to see Jo Adell? If so how does he look? Eric A Longenhagen 12:34 He's eating AZL pitching alive.

    Agreed, he's made progress, but OF is deepish....and SP is not. He's certainly hitting more consistently well this year....now if he could just make better decisions in the field and the basepaths more often....

    FWIW, KLAW does a mid-season top 5 systems. The Twins are not top 5, and did not make the short (3 team) honorable mention. He doesn't do a full system re-ranking during the year, iirc, at all. Annoyingly, Houston and NYY are top 5, and are good this year too....

    Fangraph's prospect guy thinks Badoo could crack a top 100 list next year sometime, if his power shows IN GAME the rest of this year.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I had the same thought!

    As a long time defender of scouting, despite its many issues, this is embarrassing. If I was still actively leading a group, I'd have a lot of work to do right now....
  12. Mike Sixel
    If that's all that happens with the wolves in the books, it will just be another thing mentioned that moves the plot zero....

    from yesterday's prospect update: Akil Baddoo, OF, Minnesota (Profile) Level: Short Season Age: 18 Org Rank: 23 Top 100: NR Line: 3-for-4, HR, BB Notes Baddoo has the speed to stay in center field and was just too physical for the GCL, hitting .267/.360/.440 there before promotion. He looks raw at times offensively, but is also flashing more raw power than I projected on the Twins prospects list. If he starts to show a feel for getting to that power in games, he’s a top-100 prospect. That seems far off for Baddoo, but he’s still just 18 years old and has already shown improvement at the plate in just over a year as a pro. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/daily-prospect-notes-724/

    Just a bunch of bad options really. If you are keeping Colon, this makes the most sense. What happens to Santiago when he is ready?

    Well. That was an interesting episode. Those are some nice gifts for Cersei.
  17. Mike Sixel
    The rules are very different than then. Almost no good, young, players are available now. People need tip adjust their expectations
  18. Mike Sixel
    And when you pinch hit for the pitchers, who is doing that with this bench?
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't care about money at this level at all. To me, one meh move is s bad idea. I hope there are more moves coming. Imo, Garver should be on the roster, especially in NL parks. Oh well.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I could never get into Agricola. I like the dwarf themed one, Caverna, more. Never played Dominion, would like to.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Buxton is a massive overpay for Verlander. He is old and super expensive and not good lately.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Garver should be up before the NL games start. He can hit, and has positional flexibility. Perfect guy for NL rules. Of course, they are calling up another RP instead.
  23. Mike Sixel
    KLAW calls it a win win, fwiw
  24. Mike Sixel
    All that 25 man time wasted with a short bench. I guess it was with a shot, but that whole process seemed like too much trying with the trade.
  25. Mike Sixel
    If it is the only move, not a fan. The team needs more work than one trade provides. If one in a series, cool.
