Javier better be a great prospect, they likely won't sign any more than him this year, or they'd suffer next year (which, you know, would be nice if they went all in with their money, but whatever). Frankly, if he's really not a top 10 guy, they probably wasted their money. Burdi vs Meyer, dang, that's a tough one for me. Frankly, as bad as Meyer was last year, I'd probably rate him higher. He has succeeded at a higher level.

He is a great example of why I root for teams, not individuals, any more in sports. Flip, otoh, is why you keep rooting for individuals in life.

Speaking of made up holidays........ Today is National American Beer Day. No idea why I am at work today.

I loved the council of Elrond joke.......would have been too much for Bean to say more.

Ryan On Suzuki: He Took The Post
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Ha, as I said on another thread, that's not me.....I'm 51 and don't really like fighting all that much. As for using money to get a catcher, have people looked at the catching FA list? That's one reason the Jays were so smart to pounce when they did, good catchers don't usually make FA. -
Good luck to him.

Ya, I don't get the AJ love for next year, frankly. -
Isn't that true of any survival story though? Guy cuts his arm off, doesn't bleed out, people find him at just the right moment? Guy gets stuck in his car in the winter, and just happens to be near water or near a source of heat. Sure, this required A LOT of that, but there are so many real life survival stories, that it didn't require a huge suspension for me. Heck, Jewish survivors of WWII, their specific survival story required what, compared to those that dies? We are an amazingly agile species at times.

that got me more laughter, thanks,

Why the heck would I go to an amateur baseball game?

A personal endeavor - Atlanta Braves prospects

Cool stuff. -
Zero percent chance. They don't sign Cubans.

He always seemed so much more giving on the radio than some others, never heard him be condescending to the fans (admittedly, I didn't listen all the time). Good luck to his family.

That was a great movie. I might even read the book now. Really loved that movie.

Ha, that made me laugh....clearly it was meant that way, and not in a mean way. I still have the same wants and desires*, I just decided to be open with my name. * -

It's always next year. When does that year come? -
As if IPA was the only craft beer........
-
That said, if they dealt for Lucroy, and the cost wasn't outrageous, I'd be good with that decision.
-
I don't see Boston dealing Swihart.....but I can see the Yankees dealing Sanchez. Supposedly he took the defense more seriously this year, and showed real improvement. You can either go "now" and deal Dozier or Plouffe or go "soon, but not yet" and deal Polanco and something good for him, I think. I don't think you can deal a far off prospect or two for him. Prospect for prospect deals are pretty rare, so I think it would take a MLB player to get him. I don't know what the cost would really be, frankly.
-
How does this effect the site lines? I mean, we don't need more excuses for the hitters here. As a guy that likes a beer at the game, I gotta say, I agree with the parents here. That place did not need more places to drink.

Jake Reed earns AFL praise from Keith Law
Mike Sixel replied to Steven Buhr's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
To answer an earlier question, that was the only Twin mentioned in the last update. He's only commenting on guys he gets to see play live so far (not sure if he'll talk to others for later work). With Kiley out at FG, we are missing out on them doing reporting from there, as far as I can tell (while the new guy gets up to speed on writing all the rankings for the orgs). I don't know how anyone can say the experiment is a complete failure at this point. Duffey has already provided actual MLB value. Doesn't mean they've found a new inefficiency they can use over and over, but it might mean they have one data point that works. -
I'd certainly be interested. Milwaukee has zero shot for the foreseeable future, they should be dealing for super young players like crazy. the Twins have those. I predict he is dealt someplace else. Gary Sanchez is a guy I would pursue.....
-
I don't think you can find a quote from me saying don't shop him..... I don't think they KNOW anything at this point, they probably think some things about Sano and his defense, but I doubt they know anything. And no place did I say handcuff themselves waiting for certainty, I said that insurance is there to protect against uncertainty. No place did I say don't trade him because of uncertainty. Indeed, I've typed on this site over and over that if you wait to see which prospects are good, you can't trade any of them, because you need to keep the good ones and the other ones offer no value......
-
I endorse the decision made, if the information was not public, frankly. These aren't state secrets we should all know....

thanks,
