Fangraphs thinks this a fine deal for a fine pitcher.....I tend to agree. This is the price of pitching.
-
Fangraphs has an article up today from some other site, projecting the best young pitchers in baseball......Maeda isn't listed because he isn't young (or he's not that good). But, other non-US pitchers are.
-
My wife makes an incredible mousse with tofu, just awesome.
-
I too am surprised, but I think Claeys showed us he is not as conservative as his former boss.
-
the article has a whole paragraph on this.....putting that aside, not surprised KATOH loves Kepler. He did everything KATOH loves (other than pure power) last year, at AA. Of course, I have an irrational prospect crush on him too.....
-
Remember, KATOH is ONLY about stats....and the author admits this. But, we are about to be inundated with posts about how stupid this is.....
-
thoughts on the coaching change? I admit to being surprised. Horrible season......how many games did they win in the big random number?
-
It's such a better word than butterflying, isn't it?
-
I do like a good parfait. And yes, every day should be no violence to anyone day...... I am actually pretty blase about sports right now......not sure I care much who wins and loses anymore. It is definitely down to the Vikings and Twins, and even those are waning.
-
BTW, I'm spatchcocking the turkey this year. Still trying to decide if I'll dry brine or not, but I'm making this: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/southwestern-turkey-with-garlic-ancho-chili-paste-and-gravy-803 Made it a few years ago in a nuwave oven, which we no longer own......so I'm trying something new this year.
-
Jesse brought in good people, who knew how to run a government, from both sides of the aisle. It really isn't a good comparison, imo.
-
Well, that is "international" sushi day.....which I assume is the same here. popcorn, lmc..... January 19, plan ahead. I suggest the popcorns from the Boy Scouts.
-
I do like good anchovies on a good Caesar......but it is hard to find one I trust for the reason above.
-
Or, not everyone agrees with you......Wil Meyers plus a rookie MLB pitcher got back a number 2/3 and a RP.......Cameron has Buxton well down his trade value list. The certainty with which you are posting seems a bit strong, imo.
-
Here you go..... https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/sushi-day/
-
we are neither brave, nor free, frankly. At least, some people are willing to give up freedom and right, because they are afraid.
-
It's funny, I just read the AZ report......everyone seemed very upbeat in the comments. He's also admitted he will be going back thru all this, and re-looking at it all when the dust settles, and that he expects to change things up (he already has amended the ATL one).
-
2-3 good to great prospects, and another guy or two. Buxton is one player, who has no real MLB experience. He's not getting Fernandez by himself, imo. Not close.
-
I love Fangraphs. And, I'll love reading the reports Farnsworth makes because of his analysis of their approach. But I can't ever remember who is on what list past about the top 2 anyway. As much as I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, I'll miss Kiley. I had a short conversation with Cameron about the lack of scout access they have now......he admitted that was a weakness, but that it would improve over time. I'm not sure the readers will give them that time. That said, as long as people keep going to the site and reading, I'm not sure that Cameron won't give him the time. We'll see, I guess. My main issue is that the comments were downright rude and mean spirited. It's just a prospect list....

MLB Rumors: A lot of interest in Plouffe
Mike Sixel replied to HitInAPinch's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I don't think I'd base what the Twins are likely to do based on anything I read here.... -
Power is now undervalued? that seems, unlikely.....as the article points out, the market is not undervaluing power, the crowd is. At least that is the implication behind the paywall/book link, I assume.
-
Well, we only did the last three days, that was the first year we really rode....and we've been back once in a support role (that mostly means taking down and putting up tents and drinking, unless you can squeak 9 holes in with your brother in law.....). We used to be bikers, now I'd say we are more hikers. It will be interesting to see if we go Belgium and beer, or France and wine (the first time).
-
Nice..... btw, my wife and I will be biking across Belgium and/or France on one or more trips in the next few years. Not sure that means we have too much money, or just like to bike and drink and we've done RAGBRAI.
-
You don't have opinions on things you don't REALLY care about.....Interesting.
-
I would think they'll sign a AAA type catcher for sure. At a minimum, it is injury insurance.
