  1. Ya, I'd like to see him play a lot more. Get some more data. He's healthy and mature.
  2. To be clear, I'm not in love with the FO and pitching development either......but I think we can't judge their work on one player this fast.
  3. It's not even one year......I think we have to realize that no human knows everything, and that they need to adjust to success and failure. I think saying they've failed with this player this soon is jumping the gun. Or do we expect perfection in the first two months of new MLB players now?
  4. It is good when they win....
  5. At some point, he has to pitch the pitchers he has.....
  6. It's really more about getting the max for Berrios....
  7. As am I....but perhaps this season is about learning and practice at this point? That or Maeda? I got no idea.
  8. Truth. Though.....Berrios and Garver for the Dodgers top two prospects (pitcher and catcher) interests me.....ducks
  9. I totally get the sentiment. I guess since I don't watch the games, but only on Gamecast and box scores, I'm more into the possibility of winning, than what I get out of watching ..... and I get that others disagree. I just don't see how they add more prospects if they refuse to trade anyone that is entertaining to watch. And if they won't do that, I don't see how they build up the system so they either graduate more players, or trade prospects for MLB players.
  10. What good can he do this year? They are 100% not making the playoffs. Also, if he's the secret sauce, what happened this year?
  11. I'm no fan of the Pohlads, but this ownership group has shown NO need to go cheap since they fully took over.
  12. So, teams that take pitchers are just all wrong? I mean, other, successful, teams do draft pitchers in round 1 (like Tampa, even).
  13. Partly because they trade guys like Cruz (or even Berrios).....which I get isn't popular all the time. The Rays are one of a kind, though. NO ONE else has been close to duplicating what they do. I agree with the above...a low A guy with high upside would be MUCH better than a low ceiling guy.
  14. they really think that pitchers are just lying around in late rounds, and hitters aren't.....they've also devalued defense with their selections....how's that working? I guess we'll find out how right they are in the next couple years. I have my doubts it is a sustainable path.
  15. How do you plan to acquire said players, if you won't deal guys on expiring deals? It is likely they get nothing, but they 100% get nothing if they don't re-sign them. And, there is almost no way they are re-signing most of them after this year.
  16. If people think the Twins' FO had a bad off season....the Cubs. Ugh. I blame the owner, given his comments, but man. Anyway, I'll say it again. It is the FO's job to make the system better. They will have failed if the don't deal some of the expiring contracts.
  17. I prefer a SS, CF, or pitcher over another corner bat. Catcher would be OK, but not my fave. Fangraphs has them taking catchers in round 1 and the supplemental (one of whom you name).
  18. I doubt any team cares about his season long ERA.....if his last 4 starts are good, he MIGHT be worth something. I have my doubts he's moved, though.
  19. They are losing 90 games with those players, on expiring deals (not Donaldson).....I'm not sure what you want them to do? Keep them until they sign somewhere else next year, and get nothing, and still lost 90 games?
  20. You aren't getting a MLB ready player for Cruz. More likely a lottery ticket in A ball. I'm also no fan of dealing Kepler. He will be more than worth his deal, and it would be nice if 1 OF could field his position.
