    It is interesting (in a good way) that his stat projections in Beloit are pretty much the same as in E-Town last year (few more walks this year).

    Forget about broadcasts sounding like G and G! I want Gleeman and the Geek to broadcast a game (pipe dream, but good entertainment at least . . . whole meaningless half innings taken over instead by arguments that soon become unclear as to what the argument is about . . .)
  3. Shane Wahl
    His stock just went up even more in my book. And was that summer ball in the Northwoods League?
  4. Shane Wahl
    I think the tier system is pretty accurate to what goes on. Let's say that the Twins have needs: starting pitchers (including some lefties), third basemen, and catchers. . . is the "BPA" crowd really going to ignore this? I mean if the Twins had a history of trading prospect depth for major league players, that would be one thing. That doesn't really happen too much (though it is true that something's got to give with the OF situation), so all I am saying is that maybe some need-consideration is quite necessary.

    I thought I had read that Rucker was more likely to pitch? Anyway, I am talking about Twins picks, 2, 32, 42, and 63.
  6. Shane Wahl
    The point, also, is not that whoever they sign is going to be in the rotation by 2013. But it would be nice if that were a possibility for 2014. Anyway, something like Mark Appel (RHP), Rock Rucker (LHP), Kevin Plawecki ©, Kyle Hansen (RHP) . . . would be nice.

    "Best player available"--as though that is at all clear, especially when comparing high school and college players. Come on.
  8. Shane Wahl
    It's one thing to do that in ST, which happened, but this is just absurd.
  9. Shane Wahl
    Good details about Benson and Herrmann, in particular (for me). Thanks.

    gmarais66, just because the bullpen has been good doesn't mean it can't be improved. And Jeff Gray and Anthony Swarzak will implode soon.
  11. Shane Wahl
    Given the state of health for Baker, Gibson, Wimmers, Salcedo, Soliman, etc., and the fact that Pavano, Liriano, Marquis, and Blackburn all either will be gone or suck, it is laughable to think of taking Buxton.
  12. Shane Wahl
    It's the great 1% swindle of the public. Just because it happens everywhere else too doesn't make it right. How are Minnesota schools doing? Childcare? Healthcare? Welfare programs? Haven't those all faced budget cuts?
  13. Shane Wahl
    $150 million hospitality tax from Minneapolis.
  14. Shane Wahl
    And compare that to 2006 in the bullpen! He was dominant. One would think that the goal would be to maximize the dominance from him as opposed to just being terrified every time he started a game. But I have to ask . . . has anyone analyzed his pitches in the first inning vs. the subsequent innings of trouble?
  15. Shane Wahl
    What? Moving him to 3B?
  16. Shane Wahl
    But wouldn't the line drive rate be a sign against this? I still think he is going to homer more than most expect this year, but to do so does require some rest!
  17. Shane Wahl
    Don't get me started on this team signing actual legitimate MLB players instead of assclowns like Clete Thomas. Derrek Lee, Bobby Abreu, Vlad Guerrero, Brandon Inge. Yeah . . . no value there . . . let's sign Clete Thomas . . . and what's actually worse . . . after Thomas is terrible, allowing him to further pollute the farm system in Rochester. My god.
  18. Shane Wahl
    Haha, yeah people like Seth and Aaron Gleeman were pretty adamant about Inge's terribleness. Note that in G and G 39, I believe, Aaron claims that Inge has been terrible for the last five years. That is a blatant falsity. Last year he was bad. 2008 he was below average. Before and in-between? Good. Certainly better than Drew Butera. That is the true replacement here. My god. What a damn joke.
  19. Shane Wahl
    Doumit catching 2 out of every three games for a few weeks is not going to ruin this team any further. Maybe Doumit does that with Mauer at 1B for two weeks. Big deal. No Butera needed.
  20. Shane Wahl
    Every other time I would say, "he's hurt" but this time I think he is in a slump. I guess there is the combination option--he has played a bit too much for a still-majority catcher. A few more days off would have been helpful.
  21. Shane Wahl
    This year is key for him. Steady progress through the system is required here. Give him a taste of AA ball in August and see what happens in 2013. I see September 2014 callup as a possible first appearance in the Show.
  22. Shane Wahl
    Billionaire owners getting taxpayers to build a stadium. It's a disgrace, but desperate sports fans are too desperate to see how ridiculous it is.
  23. Shane Wahl
    Seriously? Some subtlety is required. Talking about coaches from the ages of 5-18 is one thing . . . of course they have a significant impact. The question is not about them, however. While I think the impact of a MLB manager is greater than Nick may indicate here, it is NOT like those coaches when one was a kid.
  24. Shane Wahl
    Meanwhile, Jairo Perez and Danny Santana hang out in Fort Myers. Roof is old. Again, I don't get it. I don't know of a way to access this information about minor league free agents, but there has GOT to be someone under 25 who they could sign to fill that role instead. Using more at bats on players with nothing to offer . . .
  25. Shane Wahl
    Thanks for this, by the way. It will be good to get a picture of the top 3 or 4 rounds this way.
