  1. Gibson is like the stomach flu... you know it's coming. You try hard to suppress it... and then it happens.
  2. Gibson... stop this madness now!
  3. I do believe that belongs in the (not so) fun with numbers thread.
  4. just a correction, but I do believe that's observations of attractive female fans in the stands...
  5. and with that, Gibson lowers his ERA by a half a run...
  6. woah... Gibby with a swinging strike...
  7. In other news, the Vikings traded up in the second round to grab a RB... Dalvin Cook.
  8. I'd probably avoid Jose Mesa all together. We have enough problems with choking as it is. Don't want him getting any influence on the bottom half of our rotation or that abomination that is the pen.
  9. Will the real Scott Stahoviak please stand up? Please stand up.
  10. Sickle's discussion on 2 way players... http://www.minorleagueball.com/2017/4/28/15433944/madison-bumgarner-noah-syndergaard-friday-discussion-question-two-way-players
  11. I heard you can get them at Starbucks if you believe.
  12. I'd be a bit leery of a 19 yo HS pitcher to be honest... Don't they prefer getting the 17 yo guys?
  13. The Chargois thing doesn't make me happy... we need better arms in the pen and I was hoping he cemented on of those spots this season...
  14. Could.Not.Disagree.More McKay is still a top half of the rotation starter as a ceiling, and a decent hitter as a floor. I know the two way thing has been beaten to death, but I wouldn't write that off. There's a huge advantage there when a player is special enough to do both well.
  15. not that I'd use the power for evil, but if I had a super power, I'd like to have Kilgrave's mind control abilities...
  16. Honestly, there's not a hitter worth taking at 1-1. Even McKay as a 1B isn't worth a 1-1. The best talent at the top are pitchers in my opinion and it's not close. The question is do you take a higher floor guy like McKay/Wright or a higher ceiling guy like Greene.
  17. anyone know how fast Wells throws? Genuinely curious here. Those K rates are impressive. He's pretty much league average in terms of his age, but could see himself a bump to high A at some point this year if he keeps it up. I find it interesting that he's pitched better in the pros than he did in college. I expect that to an extent in rookie ball, but I wouldn't expect that in A ball.
  18. I'm 100% behind you on GTFO... think that's a bit different than NK, but GTFO needs to be applied at more than Korea.... You're right that we probably haven't tried to formally end the war.
  19. I like the idea of formally ending the war... but I don't think this is the guy you can do it with personally.
  20. Honestly, the way Hildenberger has pitched the last few years, I'm a bit surprised they don't 60 day O'Rourke and give him a shot. My fear is he's going to be the next Slama/Tonkin.
  21. I'd be quite happy if this team got a left handed Cliff Lee who was forcing his way on to the 40 man this time next year... We need starting pitching.
  22. The real trick is finding people who understand what is and is not a reasonable ask...
