  1. Man, how do they keep big moves like this so secret, and out of the rumor mill? This wasn't on anyone's radar!
  2. Where's the "I'm so excited" gif?
  3. I'd do that in 1 second if MN. I'd even do that if they made me keep Nolasco.
  4. I've never said they can't trade them, have I?
  5. She's the Pawlenty of national candidates.....imo. Nice and likable, not much really done.
  6. If you wait to see who has no value.....how do you trade them for anything? That's the risk here, people (TR, imo) need to get over the fear of trading a guy that MIGHT be good.
  7. he doesn't hit HRs? He's already 22? His name is Max? the only way you trade him is for a legit MLB player with multiple years of control, imo.
  8. if you can pair her with someone from one of the big swing states.....maybe......
  9. If I can't use him to get a SS or C (somehow), then I just keep him, I think. I'm not interested in weakening the roster for low level prospects......
  10. for Lucroy, I'm all in. Kepler and another prospect or two, sure. For a RP, I'm less excited.....but willing to listen. but he compared Kepler's CEILING to a stiff. And, Arcia is out of options. He's either here, or gone, next year.
  11. Please tell me something better is coming back.....Plouffe is a top 10 guy at his position. He should be netting a SS or C in AA or higher that you are virtually certain is a starter.
  12. that would be depressing.....is Buxton elite, like all the other top guys coming up this year, or not?
  13. I'm not sure what that has to do with my post, can you help me understand?
  14. that seems more fair to me. Man......that's so fair I don't know what I'd do.
  15. Good point. Arcia is the greatest OF defender EVAR!
  16. Arcia is out of options after this year....Kepler has them. Again, that has huge value. I don't get this talk at all.
  17. Uh, Kepler's SLG is pretty high for a 22 YO in AA ball....... Defense? He plays CF, RF, and 1B. Ceiling is Stahoviak? Uh, no. Not close. Wow. Just, wow.
  18. That's not a "random" group though....that's the group of players that started out very, very, badly. For me the question was "what are the odds that someone started this badly would ever turn out to be good", so, ya, that was the question I and others asked 2 years ago. One of the Fangraphs writers, in a chat so it might have been off hand, said that "no one" had started that badly and turned out to be good. Odds, not declarative, definitive, that was my question. It's cool if we don't know the answer, I am merely explaining my question.
  19. that was me trying really, really hard to be nice to TR, and you killed it! Killed me being nice to TR? Why would you do that to me? I need a beer....* *that whole rant wasn't serious, for all you overly serious people......
  20. Kepler will not have proved anything, nor will Hicks. Yet you suggest trading one this off season? I don't disagree with maybe taking that chance, btw, but I'm not sure I understand this response.
  21. it's not just him. Guys get hurt sliding head first, more, longer, than feet first. Again, what is the value trade off here? 4 times a year vs missing months?
  22. Of those 703 that were worse, how many put up more than 2 WAR in their career? I think that is the point. And how many is that 704 out of? Tens of thousands?
  23. How often will it matter if he slides headfirst or feet first, on him being out or not? 4 times? 10 times? No way it is 10 times, no way.
