    One of hte two AL East teams probably will win one of the WC, barring major injuries/surprises. I'd rank the contendors: MN (this is overly optimistic compared to most models) LAA (Ohtani is 23, adjusting to a new country, and coming off an injury. He'll get better) If the Twins had a 23 yo up, with that stuff, people would be excited. TOR/TEX White Sox (the most highly variable team this year imo) BAL TB (they'd be in first if not for the injuries) SEA

    I agree, making the decision to not keep Busenitz up more puzzling to me. Kinley does not have enough upside, compared to how easy it is to find RP on the market, or convert starters, to waste a 25 man spot on him for the year. And if he's only used in wasted games, they'll never really know if he is. There are only 25 spots....a playoff contendor should not be wasting one, or two, if you count Hughes....

    I did greatly enjoy this reply, btw.

    I'm with Nate Silver. The way the media covered the campaign and the "email" scandal had more to do with this than Cambridge. Not saying there was no impact just that it is not THE thing....

    Not sure I understand what Buesnitz would have had to do last year to show he's better than Kinley, who put up worse numbers in the miinors than Alan didin the majors.....Are they trying to win this year, or not?

    The big ones are... But a lot of them are not.

    The reply I expected... mike sixel 2:03 Would you consider giving up baseball if they succeed in getting Congress to pass a law allowing them to continue screwing over minor league players? What would ownership have to do to get you to stop watching, or decrease? Keith Law 2:03 Giving up, no. I'll just continue to advocate for players.

    In retrospect, not a good trade..... RSO 2:00 RAB boldly predicted that Aaron Hicks could have a 7+WAR. Crazy or realistic? Keith Law 2:00 That seems high but I'm also a longtime believer in his ability and a 5 WAR season seems entirely reasonable if he can just stay healthy.

    mike sixel 1:58 Nick Gordon....future second basemam? SS in MN this year, in about 4-6 weeks? SS in the future? Traded? Keith Law 1:58 I believe he can play SS, but they seem to view him internally as a 2b.

    They still get half of Polanco, and Escobar is not as bad as people here seem to think. Really, those two look about even on projections....but as the article says, Polanco you can dream on. Esco is what he is.

    I'm curious why the employees should take less, and share it with other employees. MLB owners carry almost none of hte risk other business owners do. They get massive subsidies from the government in terms of stadium deals. Now they want a law passed making it legal to treat their employees differently than other employees are treated. The MLBPA is not asking for laws to be passed, saying MLB players should get more of the pie.....

    About what you'd expect, I think.... https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-shortstop/

    Number two in all of baseball. Implying Dozier will get paid, imo. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-second-base/
  14. Mike Sixel
    My position is not irrational, it is different than yours. Simple question... Does it bother you owners are trying to cement in law that they can treat minor league players differently, less, than others are legally required to be treated?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not worried. He'll be better this year. He's young. And while not all young players get better, Kepler and his background, indicate he will.
  16. Mike Sixel
    They have an unrealistic owner....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Orioles wait out free agency, then pay at least full price for a pitcher......
  18. Mike Sixel
    that's what, 2-3 years of earnings? It doesn't carry you very far if the next few years you make dirt.
  19. Mike Sixel
    This. 100% this.

    scottz 1:04 What do you think is the most likely outcome for each of these current Twins shortstop prospects: Lewis, Gordon, Javier? Eric A Longenhagen 1:04 Star in CF, average everyday 2B, potential above-avg regular at SS https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eric-longenhagen-prospects-chat-3-20/
  21. Mike Sixel
    Lower than I'd hoped....is Sano really only going to be around top 10? https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-third-base/
  22. Mike Sixel
    The old guy in the background is kind of creepy....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Projections.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Is it? Aren't most players actually career minor leaguers, and never make the majors? It's very different than college, not even close, I'd argue. But yes, we have a very different view. It's a job. They should have the same rights as other employees, imo. And yes, the union is not their friend, very true.

    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-first-base/ Joe below median, and 25+% below the top ten players in runs created.
