    No Reusse is not in the business of spouting the party line for a club. No chance that was the reason for this. Zero.

    Touki has huge upside, I am a fan puff anyone with spin on the breaking ball like that. Mlbprospects has good write-ups, I think they are free, but I could be wrong.

    Just going of a recently published article wiped by KLaw

    No, injured guys tend to get injured again. And, contrary to myth, velocity does not pick up to pre-injury levels after TJ....it only seems that way because they were injured before we knew it, and had decreasing velocity.....no interest at all. Not with other really, really good choices there.

    ha, was just going to post that, gunnarthor!

    I won't be marching, but I hope to be at the Pride beer dabbler.....

    Does the fact that there are waaaaaaaaaaaay more good pitchers available in the 2nd+ rounds change anyone's mind about taking hitting with pick 1? There isn't much hitting in this draft, from what I have read over the past month (and just read again now).
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I don't think using last year as an indication of whether they will trade people is a good idea......they had NO ONE to trade other than Perkins really.

    Flash (Texas): Does Dee Gordon's long awaited development into a major league regular have any impact whatsoever on Nick's draft status? Does it give teams a little more to dream on, now that Dee looks like (for two months, anyway), a solid major league 2B. Draft Day Chat with Nick J. Faleris: Their games aren't really similar, nor is their physical makeup, so it's unlikely the developmental path of one will much affect opinions on the other. Nick is a more refined player is more physical than his brother, with a lot less speed.

    I like this one.... Shawnykid23 (CT): How would you compare the top 3 arms in this year's draft to last year's? Basically, ignoring MILB performance, only coming into the draft how would you rank Appel, Gray, Stewart, Aiken, Rodon, and Kolek? Draft Day Chat with Nick J. Faleris: I'd strike Kolek and add Nola as third best arm in this class. Then give me Gray, Aiken, Rodon, Appel, Nola, Stewart. I could be talked into arranging the last three in basically any order. Also I could be talked into Aiken over Gray without much effort. How's that for hedging my bets?

    Ok, that baseball prospectus chat is great
  12. Mike Sixel
    it is, I wouldn't be mad if they took him, but I also would not be shocked if he doesn't work out of being worth a top 20 pick at all.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I am always amused when Brock goes off topic like this, don't know why, but it makes me smile.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'd sign him for whatever amount, almost.....he's a future Ace. And could start in A ball and make high A this year.....not sure what $6MM would do to the Twins' pool.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    On Nola, you covered why some would be disappointed, lower ceiling than some others, probably. Most value ceiling over floor at pick five.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I would rather trade Logan for Corriea
  17. Mike Sixel
    Yes, John, I realized after the last post we may be too specific on one topic......either way, I would be happy. I admit Kolek makes me nervous, seems like a guy needing a ton of coaching, and a one trick pony.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Except, that's not a good comparison. Hitters don't play single games, they play 4.8 times more games than pitchers. If we are going to compare apples and tires, sure, I agree......one game the pitcher is more important than the hitter. 162 games? Different story.
  19. Mike Sixel
    And when your hitters are terrible, because you only draft pitchers, how do you win games? And yes, I know I am taking your argument to the extreme, but that is the argument you are making. Take elite pitchers over elite hitters every time. Or am I misunderstanding your argument? A pithcher helps in at most 30 games. The delta between the number 4 pitchers, and the number 1 pitchers is probably in the 10-15 games where the pitcher actually makes a difference, since the offense will bail out the bad pitcher sometimes (and sometimes he'll be good), and the offense will let down the good pitcher (and sometimes he'll be bad). I am not arguing to pass on pitchers for hitters all the time, but you seem to be making that argument the other way.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I have also read that Gordon is a good person, and has a very advance approach to baseball for a HS kid.
  21. Mike Sixel
    On topic, I don't agree the change has really started. This year, the minors has produced Danny Santana. Meanwhile, they chose Guerrier over several worthy AAA candidates. I just don't see it as really started yet.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Law and others talk to scouts all the time, just because they don't name them doesn't mean it isn't happening. He has made that clear over and over, his projections are based on what he hears from scouts, GMs, others in baseball, not on what he would do.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Even against the best pitchers, hitters get a hit 25% of the time....and the worst less than 33% of the time. A pitcher really only effects a small percent of the at bats.
  24. Mike Sixel
    And yet, he only effects the outcome of 30 or so games. And really, probably less than that, because his offense sometimes totally loses or wins games regardless of how he pitches. At best, he can help them in 35 games. A hitter? 162 games. You totally ignore that part in your calculations.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Since they refuse to use them, I would think a bunch of AAA relievers and starters are available.
