  1. I'm not a Duensing believer.....I'm still not sure why they kept him. Their reluctance to bring up young relievers continues to confuse this fan.
  2. IIRC, Sickels likes production......and, as beckmt points out, lots of these guys are still a ways from the majors.....
  3. At least that aren't giving false hope to fans that these guys might be up soon.
  4. I can get there now.
  5. Great stuff, thanks for writing and talking.
  6. Assuming it wasn't blocked at my work....
  7. I would write for that site.....
  8. I remember when people mocked me for saying Kepler would be the Twins' 1B around 2017 or so.....still hoping he succeeds!
  9. The draft, as it stands, is bad for everyone, frankly. If you had a hybrid draft/FA, where certain teams could make certain sized offers, and others could make smaller ones, or where the worst 10 teams were able to sign 3 players for x money, and everyone else could only sign one for that much.....that would be better for everyone.
  10. Of, they could stop sitting on piles of money and blow through their slot and sign a bunch of highly ranked prospects. That would be a real change. Spending in their slot? Not much of a change.
  11. Ugh. Baserunning gaffes, running into the wall.....maybe he has a "baseball IQ" issue.
  12. Ha, I think I've posted this every time you created a new site.......maybe I should show some patience.
  13. Ya, is it just too new of an URL to be "categorized"? It is currently blocked at my work. And, one of my best friends is working on it, so I was interested.....
  14. About time they start worrying about nutrition......but it does no good if they go back to awful food starting in April. Are they working on that at all?
  15. Milone has similar stuff to Meyer? Someone said that out loud and didn't laugh?
  16. Cool story. Thanks for doing the interview, both of you.
  17. Except not every player is a FA......that is the cost to buy that talent, on the market. Just look at the signings for FAs, and that is the cost to buy that much talent. No one, ever, has said you'd build an entire team that way. Taken out of context, it looks absurd. Used to understand what it would cost to buy that much talent, well, that's what it is for.......not what you did with it.
  18. And yet, we were told, over and over, that he was a good CF defender......
  19. Ya, we should not be telling a church what it can/cannot do (within obvious safety limits). But that has nothing to do with the LEGAL recognition of a marriage contract between two consenting adults........
  20. If only you had looked one post up........
  21. Fangraphs with another article about him, this one not as favorable to an extension.
  22. Well, this post shouldn't surprise anyone...... they aren't making the playoffs this year. They have tons of RP types in AAA/AA. I hate the Deunsing re-sign. I hate any RP signing that isn't about getting the youngsters here, and seeing what they have. I really don't get it at all. I'd rather see May or Meyer, for the same reason as above.......the only way to see what you have is to, you know, see what you have. But, I agree with Seth, it will be Milone or Pelfrey (that 2 year deal remaind mind boggling). One or both of those guys will come up for a few starts or stay up, but I'd rather they just start the year here. As for the INF? I'm not sure I care all that much. Not sure what t`e options really are. As for CF? I'd rather Hicks be in AAA, playing every day, until he proves he can hit a baseball to some degree.
  23. Funny, I thought this would be about AA vs AAA....... I think he's a 3B until he proves he's not. Plouffe will either be traded, or moved to the OF. But, I've been wrong before.
