    This is too funny. If this works out....
  2. tobi0040
    I think we need to give Pelf a 3 year extension this time.
  3. tobi0040
    I agree, I doubt Eddie is taking Buxton's spot. The only way I would like to see Sano moved is if he was a disaster at 3B.
  4. tobi0040
    I thought the reports on Rosario's defense were good. We just moved him because of Buxton.
  5. tobi0040
    And that was just the Oakland A's.

    My friend asked Terry to handicap CF at Twinsfest. He did not mention Hicks at all. The first name he mentioned was Eddie Rosario. When asked about CF versus a corner, Terry said Eddie is definitely good enough to play CF. He seemed to hint again, at Sano in the OF if Plouffe continues to improve Open to Meyer in the pen. Said last year he was throwing instead of pitching, which caused his location issues. One prospect he thought would make a huge jump is Kohl Stewart. Seemed very high on him. He kept saying Ricky gets a do-over and needs to get straightened out

    Nice to hear. A guy that can play all three OF spots and hit is valuable.
  8. tobi0040
    We obviously did not make Duensing available.

    I was only calling out the May trade because a case could be made that even if may is a useful reliever we still won that trade. In hindsight we were a lot less deep than we thought, I.e. Hicks and buxton. But I will take a young upside arm that k's guys left and right for a replacement level-esque guy like revere. And even if Meyer doesn't turn out, give me a 22 year old top 30 prospect that throws upper 90's with a great slider for an above average but not all star level 28 year old cf that makes 10 million
  10. tobi0040
    Jimmer, b ref has revere at 3.8 career war across basically 4 full seasons. 2.6 of that was in one year. Primarily driven by him playing cf and having a good average and swiping bags. I know you are not saying or even implying this, but that is a trade you want your gm to make all day and live with the results. Some have pointed to that being a bad trade and I don't see how.
  11. tobi0040
    My buddy asked terry Ryan today about Meyer making the team out of ST. He said "he can definitely make this team". My friend then asked "if he does not make the rotation, is the pen an option" and terry said "yes, he is 25, we need to get him going". So that sounds encouraging to me
  12. tobi0040
    In the case of the May trade, Revere's career OPS is .666, effectively the same as Sam Fuld, about as replacement level as it gets.
  13. tobi0040
    Boggling is two tame when I re-think that decision. Even worse so is Terry Ryan has not seen enough regarding Pelfrey as a starter.
  14. tobi0040
    For better or worse, Nolasco should be included in the first tier from the standpoint that he will be handed a spot, and frankly will have to pitch very poorly to get to the pen or AAA. He also should be viewed diferently from Pelfrey, he was about a league averager pitcher for 8 years, then had one bad year in which he may have been hurt.
  15. tobi0040
    He technically had a higher OPS last year, but I still have Miggy ahead of Goldshmidt. My other comment relates to the salaries commited to players out of the top 5 and some way down the list. Votto (7), Pujols (9), Prince (10), Mauer (18), Teixera (26), Howard (34), Swisher (38). Yikes.
  16. tobi0040
    If you back out numbers in Yankee stadium, Hughes has a career sub 4 ERA. The HR rate is about .7. The BB rate is just over 2, and the K rate is 7.5. Even the range you selected, if viewed right shows Hughes and Bike Belfrey on different levels.
  17. tobi0040
    I think he gets a few starts this year, if his 2015 resembles anything like his 2014. Those could be meaningless games in September. But come June, you could have a scenario where Pelfrey and Milone are no longer in front of him. Milone was whining last year in AAA for Oakland and could find himself there again. So now you are talking about ineffectiveness/injury of just a couple of guys.
  18. tobi0040
    We don't want him to get hurt.
  19. tobi0040
    I get the logic and your overall point, but if our coaches reach this conclusion, lets just devote this site to the 2015 and 2016 MLB drafts.
  20. tobi0040
    I am generally in agreement. Except I have experienced Ryan/Gardy led trauma by consistently starting the year with three players starting that we all know are terrible and have no shot to be on the team in June. Livan, Bautista, Castro, Ortiz....ahh make is stop.
  21. tobi0040
    I think a 6 man rotation 3-4 times through in April makes sense (Meyer and May). Then bump one guy or one will be hurt anyway. Not a bad solution.
  22. tobi0040
    I just read the bio of Ted Lerner and I see the light. The guy is worth $4.6B. He is 89. Largest land-owner in DC region. I don't think he is overly concerned about paying Max $105M starting in 2022! The Tigers owner is kind of in the same boat, he just wants to win a world series and is willing to lose money in order to do it because a few million doesn't matter to him.
  23. tobi0040
    My order would be May, Meyer, then Milone. I think they start Meyer where they think is best, between the pen and the ace at AAA. It can't be Pelfrey, it just can't.
  24. tobi0040
    The difference between the two of us, I view Max's production from 30.5 to 37.5, based on the history of pitchers, even elite pitchers through that age range as an IF as well. Now they have locked up that money for 14 years and probably means sending younger guys out the door. The certainties they had were: Gio and Stras for two years. Zimmerman and Fister for one. Roark under control for 5 more years. And about as good of a pitching prospect as exist in MLB. With $210M they could have probably locked up any one of those, or Gio and had a ton of money left over.
  25. tobi0040
    I guess I don't follow the they are going to lose two pitcher logic, given that they had $210M at their disposal. $210M would have kept at least one there and Lucas Giolito will be up in 1-2 years. He is going to be a stud with 6 years of control. Either way, we see this differently and that is fine.
