  1. Why would you trade Plouffe for an older, worse player? Plouffe is part of the present and future.
  2. Bummer. No sandwich puck, no 2nd round pick.....
  3. Thanks to Lewis for doing this, and for Seth doing the work. Good read. Good luck to him.
  4. Not a surprise, really. They just graduated Rosario, Buxton, Sano this year.......what they really need is depth in AAA and AA for the next couple years (or a catcher and SS).....for backup purposes really.
  5. Good to have games again. Go Twins.
  6. I am assuming Buxton is back in September, so maybe 4-6 weeks of less defense. I also think we are understating the delta between Norris and Suzuki in this equation.....but who knows. Maybe not. And, I'm looking at next year too....not just this year.
  7. Well, it's not great to have a year w/o a 2nd round pick, and w/o a sandwich pick.......it creates a bit of a hole in the timing of the pipeline. Hopefully he's healthy, and they can come to an agreement.
  8. Past Gordon are a bunch of guys, or guys really far away......imo. The cupboard is pretty barren once Kepler is up next year, for a few years. They are going to need health for sure.
  9. It was referenced a page back, or you can search the internet. Or not, either way, no skin off my nose.
  10. Norris + Suzuki as backup +Arcia>>>>>>>>>Hicks + Suzuki + Herrman as backup. Not even close. I don't think I can type >>>> enough to make that equation work. And, it's not just for this year.
  11. Yes, without hesitation.
  12. His floor is not major league player. I bet he makes it, but his floor is way below Glen Perkins.
  13. They have enough room.....
  14. I don't see anyone on this thread trying to rush him.....
  15. Why are the Padres trading one of their best players, who isn't old and expensive?
  16. Who did it HURT for him to look at his HR? You are choosing to be offended over something that hurt no one, not one bit. And, that excuses throwing a ball at someone, and trying to hurt them? Immature, imo.
  17. it should be, but some people don't want to change.
  18. that's not what the math says......we used to "KNOW" that a walk was a weakness in a hitter, and it was all the pitcher's fault, for example. We were certain of it.....
  19. It has to cross their minds at some point....."would I be better off in x organization?". They are humans. If I was a decent starting pitcher in AA or AAA, I'd maybe want to be dealt. There are clearly some orgs better at developing certain types of players. Or, at least at identifying them and having them work out, but probably at developing them. KLAW has talked about that on several chats.
  20. This is their best pipeline, in terms of numbers, in a long time. Whether they can turn these guys into actual pitchers, that's up for debate.
  21. I'm not worried, but that doesn't mean I like the concept either. Hopefully they are correct......
  22. Short memories on Vargas? He wasn't much of a prospect. He was called up last year in an emergency. I think the short memory is of his success last year being a bit of a fluke, personally.
  23. Picking a RP.....not my top idea. How is Burdi working out?
  24. You probably need more inflation in there, but directionally it is about right. And, no, I would not extend him right now. In a year, if he's still doing this? Yes, I'd consider that.
