    100% this.

    I have not read one word of the thread, I just wanted to type how much I love the title. Now, I'll go read the thread.

    Expansion of rosters? No doubt, good point. universal DH? yup, that too. world wide draft? Agreed, though that will be very bad for Central American players.

    I can, and cannot....fans are remarkably, well, I probably shouldn't type what I think of fans in general.

    A great CEO is key for disrupters and smaller/newer companies especially. But, being the public face is different than that..... Clearly it is increases the risk some, but I don't know if Papa John's is being hurt or not with their CEO leaving. Musk leaving? Won't likely be good for Tesla......OTOH, while Apple is a different place now that Jobs is gone, it's still running ....

    I put a quote about Rooker in my new thread in the MN Twins part of the forum.......you may or may not want to read it....

    The lineup doesn't include Buxton or Sano, but it looks like what you'd have expected at the beginning of the year other than that.

    Interesting comment on the heat.......the globe is warming, so starting later and going only 7 innings might be a thing.....I had not thought of that at all. I agree expansion and 154 games are almost inevitable. Living in Portland, I just don't see how it will work, given the size of the corporate world here, but I do think it will come here. Tampa will lose its franchise, and Portland, Charlotte, and Montreal will get teams.

    Brent Rooker, LF/1B, Minnesota Twins (Profile) Level: Double-A Age: 23 Org Rank: 10 FV: 45 Line: 4-for-5, 2B, HR, BB Notes I’ve been clear about my distaste for righty-righty college first-base types because, other than Paul Goldschhmidt, Rhys Hoskins, and Erik Karros, those types of players haven’t yielded big-league value this century. Should Rooker’s .270/.335/.517 line at Double-A this year quell concerns about him as an individual? He’s striking out at a nearly 30% clip as a 23-year-old, and my scout sources regard his breaking-ball recognition as problematic. His performance is encouraging but not so dominant that I’m all in on him as a prospect. Outcomes for prospects like Rooker are binary: they either hit enough to play every day or they don’t and they’re fringe 40-man guys. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/daily-prospect-notes-7-25-18/

    Carl Pastashio 1:14 Can we start dreaming that Alex Kirilloff will pull a Juan Soto? Kiley McDaniel 1:14 Wouldn't plan on a Juan Soto happening again any time soon https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-7-25-18/

    I sold it off after the big bump recently. It isn't my style stock, really. But yes, if they drop enough, they can be a good short term play (or boring, dividend, play). shopify....new relic....nvidia.....okta.....activision....not that I'm offering advice, I'm just listing random (ha) stocks....

    The Athletic has an article ranking the best SP available (Gibson is not listed) at the trade deadline: Lynn is number 14. Requires subscription. A short bit of it: A trade of underperforming starters has been mentioned, including a floated proposal for Sonny Gray of the Yankees. https://theathletic.com/445348/2018/07/25/bowden-ranking-the-21-best-arms-available-on-the-starting-pitching-trade-market/

    After the draft this year, Fangraphs updated their prospect list. Gordon moved up from 77 to 62..... Fangraphs also really liked Lanarch a lot, and had him higher than 20th on their draft list....

    I literally didn't complain, other than the injury thing, and that's about fans. Lots of fans on this site have said it is the injuries. If you read my sig, I too thought this was a better roster than they've had in a long time. For the FO? I said I was curious. That comes from being interested in how they make their decisions....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Of course, average age is kind of meaningless for prospects, since the minors are filled with players that are older, and not moving up. But your general point that Rooker has a year in professional baseball, and he's hitting well in AA is valid.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing they are trying to deal a pitcher or three....so keeping him make sense. OTOH, they could just call up Romero or Gonsalves, and have an actual bench....
  17. Mike Sixel
    No one knows what will happen if he stays, either.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I am curious why Belisle is on the roster. I am curious if they tried to get a RH OF. I am curious what they see in Grossman, current or future. (he's no OF) But I expect no answers. As for injuries, the Twins have less WAR lost to injuries than most teams.....I'm pretty tired of the injuries excuse.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I predict Dozier is traded for a "meh" prospect or two. That's it. And then the team keeps playing veterans with no future here.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That is the rumored deal for Britton! So,, I'd want a lot more. *that rumor literally is coming out as we type....
  21. Mike Sixel
    btw, how does one post a picture in a thread? Asking for a friend....
  22. Mike Sixel
    well played. I wonder if I can get one of my sons to make the first couple posts tomorrow for me, just to let me enter later in the day......
  23. Mike Sixel
