  1. The standards for criminal prosecution and MLB/Union language are very different, and the fact he wasn't charged isn't really relevant.
  2. Shockingly long, given MLB history. Also, they did it during the NFL draft, as many suspected they would to bury the news some (though most of those thought he'd be reinstated)....
  3. Same. If they get three good starters out of one draft, I don't care about the rest of the draft, frankly.
  4. I'm hard pressed to say anyone will be "close enough" to a guy that is one of the best players in the game. It could be a very long fall (or not) to Lewis..... I do agree he could play any position....but if you are going in, you have to be willing to deal him for 2+ years of an elite pitcher, imo. No way they could afford that (given their budget), though, imo.
  5. It would be chips all in for sure. And it would be fun to have those two here for a long time....
  6. Agreed. The real question is.....can/should the Twins pay that? I'm hesitant, because I don't see them going over 155 or so for a payroll....OTOH, Buxton is signed to a reasonable deal, they have a TON of young pitching coming (fingers crossed), and enough young position players (outside catcher) to have a pretty inexpensive roster (let Sano and Sanchez go next year, then Kepler and Polanco when their deals are up and who is getting paid, other than Ryan?)...... That said, I see almost no chance they sign him to a 7 year extension on top of what they already have......
  7. Yuck. I hate everything about this. I hope to be very wrong.
  8. I'm already down on the new guy
  9. Terrible trade. Awful value. Awful. Terrible.
  10. I still imagine one of the crazy deals some pundit said could happen months ago, with the Vikings getting multiple picks from the Jets for Hunter (seems impossible)....
  11. Good thing I can't watch, I read it is straight up military propaganda again. The NFL sure has a bit....
  12. I'd do 12 for 29 and 30 (I think.....but, risky). I'd rather do 12 and a mid round pick to Pitt for their 1st and 2nd....
  13. This defense is so much better..... And, Detroit is not good at baseball.
  14. Maybe his knee wasn't bothering him as much last night.....
  15. You watch every game in the majors, write down every play, and compare him to every first baseman? Good for you....I don't have time for that.
  16. Bad teams don't trade prospects... And good teams aren't giving up a starting player right now.... So, how would this work?
  17. Which bad team is trading for a starting pitcher, and giving up prospects? Because I doubt a good team is trading a good first baseman.
  18. . If you have evidenced he's good, let's see it.
  19. Correa has been great on defense. And has a very different track record.
  20. By what measure is he not terrible at defense? Just search the internet, it's clear he's terrible.
  21. The stats that matters for this discussion is BABIP and that low number is not reflective of anything but bad luck. You can choose to think the advanced stats are garbage, but they are much more predictive of future production than the old timey stats. OTOH, his defense is atrocious, so I'm not sure it matters if he hits very well or not....because he'd have to hit better than well to be worth keeping (assuming AK is healthy or Arraez and play first).
  22. Same.....but I'd rather Larnach was up and AK was at first.....plus, how long until AK feels pain again?
  23. SS or C for me, given the rankings. But, I'd be ok with Lesko too.
  24. This thread reads like they lost..... Some people just have to complain every thread....
