  1. Who are you talking about, there are several options...
  2. I'll never forget him. Back in the day, they let us all on the field for camera day. I asked him if he was going to stay in MN or not, and he said he hoped to....seemed like a nice guy, as he was answering lots of questions and really interacting with people.
  3. Are you even thirty? Sigh
  4. Pretty much a self fulfilling prophecy, no? If you don't acquire better players, you won't get better results. The Sox are not far behind the Twins, have money coming off the books, and have spent much more in the past. How aligned would the stars have to be for you to go all in?
  5. Other than Garver, who is really time in experience? How long would the outfielders have to be on rosters for you not to think of them as green? I don't think three years is all that green anymore
  6. By weighted WAR projections, the twins are not in the top ten for youngest position players, so I don't know about next decade... They better be in win now mode, ESan, Dozier, Mauer, Castro are not getting younger or signed for long.... Not to mention Morrison and Lynn.
  7. Lindor says hello. His worst year is 4.4 WAR... His rookie year. Ramirez put up an insane 6.6 last year. Two White Sox put up over 4 last year. Sure, Buxton could be better than all of them, but my money is on lindor. And Dozier.
  8. he was raised in the Dominican....still not sure how it works, exactly. And, cool moment!
  9. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-bullpen-1-15/
  10. Imagine an intern paying for her computer, phone, desk space, internet access.....
  11. Those are two different stories about projections and predictions In both, people like the Twins more than projection systems.
  12. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/here-is-what-you-think-of-our-team-projections-2/
  13. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/fangraphs-2018-staff-predictions/
  14. The Sox are the real variance team. If the time players come on fast, or slowly, that is the question. But, they are coming. The Cleveland team is probably 8-10 wins better, given equal health, imo. That is makeupable, but they are the clear favorites.
  15. One of the better rosters we've seen in some time. Good luck to the team!
  16. Free athletic article https://theathletic.com/288633/2018/03/27/sarris-three-days-in-the-life-and-finances-of-a-minor-league-baseball-player/
  17. We are happy they are rewarding spring training production, and ignoring years of minor league results? Ok then. Congrats and good luck to him. I hope he makes me look more stupid than I do on my own.
  18. Does anyone think union members paid any attention to minor league bonuses in the last vote? I don't, not for one minute. The athletic has a great article on how much these guys work, and have to pay for gloves, shoes, supplements, training, clubhouse food, how they don't get paid for spring training, or extended spring training, or so called voluntary of season workouts, or travel.....
  19. A new scout, specializes in flying over fields for a new perspective..... The athletic has an article on Buxton and his ability to hit better. Not sure it drew any conclusions....
  20. It costs that much to get him. I'm not sure why spreading the money over more years is bad. You need to look at the entirety of the contract, not just the bad years, to judge the contract.
  21. KKAW has an insider column on nine players he thinks will be better this year, in a breakout way. Kepler it's one of them, thinking 25 bombs and average OBP, losing much of his platoon issues.
  22. I never said the other leagues were better.
  23. Think about that. Baseball is so screwing the players, that a guy can't go to another country to work in his chosen field. Wow. Good luck to him.
  24. People are awful, and we just can't have nice things on the interwebs....which is sad. We should be more informed, more connected, more better...
