    Jose Quintana is pretty good. Would love to have him in our rotation. Especially with that contract.
  2. King
    Come on now.
  3. King
    I feel violated.
  4. King
    Morneau in a White Sox uni. It just feels so wrong.
  5. King
    Well it was a good start at least.
  6. King
    Good start on offense.
  7. King
    My mind has been blown.

    A look at Adalberto Mejia. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/scouting-new-twins-prospect-adalberto-mejia/

    I mean Andrew Cashner and junk just fetched Josh Naylor, Capps and Luis Castillo. If we could get something similiar or even slightly lesser than that for Santana you take it and run.

    Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 59s59 seconds ago Manhattan, NY twins would need to be overwhelmed to trade ervin santana. some relievers will go tho. kintzler, abad among better ones. Why though? We should just be looking to shed the salary at this point.

    Fantastic. He hit great in AAA. 23 now time to show what he can do. Play him everyday for the rest of the season.
  12. King
    He could be a middle of the rotation guy in short order. I like it.
  13. King
    I have no preference either way but it does make sense if the two threads could be merged somehow.

    Here is what Fangraphs writer Eric Longenhagen had to say about Adalberto just 10 days ago Benny Boop: What do you think of Adalberto Mejia? Any chance he’s up this year before Sept? 3:46 Eric A Longenhagen: Solid average four pitch mix with a good idea of how to use it. I think he’s a #4 and I do believe he could help the big club this year. I need to watch the video I took of him at the Futures Game and comp it to last fall because I think the arm slot might be a little lower.
  15. King
    Yeah I wouldn't worry about the ERA at all especially in the PCL. The strikeout and walk numbers are very nice though.

    Adalberto was ranked 7th on the Giants most recently updated MLB Pipeline top 30 prospects list. Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 50 | Curveball: 40 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 55 | Overall: 50 Mejia received the highest bonus in the Giants' 2011 international crop, signing for $350,000 out of the Dominican Republic. He pitched a career-low 51 1/3 innings last year, the result of a 50-game suspension for testing positive for stimulants and a bout with shoulder tendinitis, but pitched well enough in Double-A and the Arizona Fall League to earn a spot on San Francisco's 40-man roster. Mejia often pitches in the low 90s and tops out at 95 with sink and tail on his fastball, though at times he'll dip down to the upper 80s. His slider and changeup can be solid pitches on occasion, and he has the aptitude to vary the break on his slider. He also can mix in a curveball for show. There isn't much effort in Mejia's delivery, and he's doing a better job of repeating it and maintaining the quality of his stuff and command. He'll need to watch his conditioning because his 6-foot-3 frame carries a lot more than his listed 195 pounds. He most likely will fit in the No. 4 slot in a big league rotation.

    Really like this. Adalberto could be a middle of the rotation guy with 6 years of cheap control. Here are his advanced minor league stats from StatCorner - http://www.statcorner.com/pitch.php?id=606167 .
  18. King
    Fantastic trade. Adalberto is good.
  19. King
    Nice win.
  20. King
    Kepler is pretty good I'd say.
  21. King
    Without reading this thread. I will add my opinion. For starters, he has an xFIP- 94 which is that of an above average starter. His BABIP is .340 and HR/FB is 19.3%, both of which he's been unlucky in the run prevention department, and one of the reasons for the bloated ERA. I would leave him in the rotation to work out any kinks and expect him to perform like a league average starter as soon as next season - which is a valuable piece, especially on his current contract. I wouldn't mess around by yanking him and the rotation and the bullpen, like we have done with Trevor May (who I think should be in the rotation as well).
  22. King
    Right. That contract is a mess. Not exactly a good situation.
  23. King
    The log jam at 1B/DH is real though. Would be nice if we could shed the Mauer contract but I doubt anyone would be interested.
  24. King
    Hey Guys! Been pretty busy the last week or so nice to finally tune into a game again. Looks like Gibson has been pretty good so far.
  25. King
    This pretty well sums it up.
