    crazy stats!

    I could see an injury settlement, but he's not giving up that much money most likely.

    One or two bad decisions? No issue. He did recently also pinch run for Sano when there was a runner ahead of him, right? Has that EVER worked for Molly? He seems to love to take his big boppers out of the game late, either for a PR or a PH that can "make contact".

    Good luck to him! Injuries suck.

    That strategy is harder to pull off because the pool is smaller, and two teams pick a second time before Minnesota. And, you can't reach ahead, you can hope your guys fall and then that you can sign them.

    No, skill does not mean you are always right. You are the one saying picks after round one are luck, not me. I just want to know where should stops, and luck starts.

    I appreciated the game time was in Pacific time.....

    Wow. The ad server just served up a Mormon ad.... Good luck with that!
  10. Mike Sixel
    You didn't answer the question. What rounds are luck, and what are skill?
  11. Mike Sixel
    So, if they aren't taken round one, they don't count as good drafting? What round do we cut it off?

    btw, the picture with the thread? I've been growing a "beard" for almost two weeks now. It would end up looking like those if I kept going. I think I'll be shaving it off over the weekend. OTOH, I will be visiting my mom next week, and she hates when I don't shave, so it's tempting to keep it.

    Depends, do you mean for this year, or for the next 5+ years? those lists are VERY different. For example, the Dodgers have a minor leaguer that some think has no position, but he can really hit. That's very different than saying that bad team X has player Y that can hit.

    ESPN remote midwest, I believe....

    I like how this thread has been (mostly) civil, even if we don't agree...

    Pete 11:03 With the Twins playing so well, is Byungho Park doomed to spend the entire season in Rochester, NY? Or do the Twins take the first decent trade offer they get? Jeff Sullivan 11:03 Park hasn't done anything yet in Triple-A. But, Kennys Vargas hasn't been good this year in the majors. If Park catches fire he'll earn a look

    BTW, super excited that Berrios is pitching like (well, much better) than many of us felt he would last year, let alone this year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    this, and now.
  20. Mike Sixel
    DTH 10:18 Berrios was looking pretty pretty prettaaaaaay good. what level is he going to settle into this year? and do the Twins sneaky good young core have a shot at the playoffs this year? Jeff Sullivan 10:19 The pitching staff is just too bad, even with Berrios. But now we're seeing why the Twins could have a real direction. So much comes down to Buxton/Berrios/Sano because the upside is massive
  21. Mike Sixel
    It's a veritable treasure trove of Berrios questions today! bosoxforlife 10:05 Please explain Jose Berrios's 2016 season. It looks like the most unfathomable thing ever. Jeff Sullivan 10:05 It doesn't make very good sense. Obviously, something happened, but if I had to guess, he just wasn't mentally prepared for the major leagues, and he allowed things to snowball on him

    I loved the beer part! It was funny. And it made fun of beer snobs too. All around perfect joke, imo.
  23. Mike Sixel
    fake newss 9:10 Thoughts on Berrios after last night's game? More optimistic now? Jeff Sullivan 9:11 I don't think I was ever particularly un-optimistic. I never saw a convincing explanation for why what happened in 2016 happened, and the high-minors numbers have always been so promising Berrios last year went from 67% strikes in Triple-A to 58% strikes in the majors. That just wasn't going to hold up. In two starts in the majors this year, he's thrown plenty of strikes, and it turns out a strike-throwing Jose Berrios can be super good
  24. Mike Sixel
    yay!

    John: Too bad you can’t find time to stop by the Twins broadcast booth. They seem to spend half their time talking about errors, batting average, and the virtue of sacrificing runners over. Keith Law: In Smart Baseball I mention the irony of Bert Blyleven, who is only a Hall of Famer because of sabermetrics and the lobbying of people in the sabermetrics community, hating sabermetrics.
