  1. that's kind of a mature, and nuanced, take for an internet post, Nick.
  2. I believe you are correct sir (or madam, or other ).
  3. Well, we can look at the next 20 picks...... If trading picks were allowed, would you trade the number 5 overall pick for Perkins? Would you do that if you were a rebuilding team?
  4. I didn't say he had nothing to learn......I said nearly every prospect in baseball comes up before they have nothing left to learn. I literally said that.....so who are you arguing against on that point?
  5. Well, since we don't sit in Rochester and watch games, not sure what people want... It is definitely a trade off. If Berrios can't start, and you can't trade Dozier, and you aren't likely to outbid other teams for SP in FA, well, they are going to need some serious luck.
  6. Other than: 1. Pitchers lose velocity over time 2. Pitchers tend to get hurt over time sure....
  7. That Jay pick......will he make anyone's top 100? Just a year or two after being picked number 5 overall?
  8. If you wait until a prospect is "ready", you've lost a year or two of major league playing. Very few prospects are finished products, and as the league gets younger and younger, that's more true than ever. At least that's what guys like Maddon and others say in interviews. I kind of trust them....
  9. Thank you Ben.
  10. Other than the stats showing that he did, what evidence would you want?
  11. Doesn't say much about Polanco at SS......let's hope he can do it.
  12. I don't get why anyone wants Berrios in AAA at this point. If your best coach is in the majors, and he utterly dominated AAA, what is the point? As for Hughes, he's had about half good years, and half bad years. He's had one great year. It is hard to see a LIKELY path where he is great this year. I really believe he could be a very good to great RP, though, and I'd start him there this year, unless he's just blowing serious fastballs this spring.
  13. Concur. Castro signing and this are neck and neck right now.
  14. I really wish that was a love button, not like button, on that one....
  15. Time to extend Sammy....they won't find a better QB, unless they tank and lose a lot.....
  16. It took 20 minutes? you were on a roll, sir.....
  17. i don't think I've coddled it, or let it fester. What would you like me to do about overly PC media, exactly? I think most people have very little influence on stuff outsider their circle of friends, saying anyone coddled it is specious at best. If you mean the political elite of the left did, that may or may not be true. I don't see Clinton or Obama acting that way in office, for example.
  18. I don't think I've ever drunk purchased on line.....though I certainly have friends that have/do.
  19. This completely ignores context, and that Dozier is signed for 2 years, and JDL is controlled for 6, imo. If you really think JDL is a three, you make that deal all day. If you are only 75% sure, maybe you want a flyer on top of that.....but unless you think the Twins are in the playoffs this year, what good is 1 year of Dozier? Before you answer "you can always trade him later"....I assume, since you won't do it for a number three, you'd want more than that, what would it take later?
  20. Not every democrat is anti outsourcing, where appropriate......if the rest of the world has no money and no jobs, imo, the unrest is worse. Some of us democrats used to be moderate republicans, when the world was very different....
  21. Kevin: Is Adam Walker just AAA filler at this point? I see that he was a top 20 prospect for the O’s on MLB.com’s final 2016 update Klaw: He can’t hit and has no position. I don’t see ranking him anywhere.
  22. When money is paid is a pretty big deal to those that have the money......
  23. I'm not denying he used it....I'm denying it is a reflection of what most liberals are really like.
