    Sounds like Sano might be a decent baseball player.

    In Linus' defense, there are some shameless posters that have made serious and outrageous claims like this, but not Nick, no way.

    You are a super duper alley-ooper bigot.

    Drew Butera: strike thrower.

    I have a bad feeling that the Hicks will suffer a Benson-like regression this year. Starting in AAA and having to go back to AA.

    However remote the scenario, I'd rather have the dilemma of shutting him down early while the Twins are still within 8-10 games -- because we put our five best pitchers out there from the beginning of the season. If we are 8-10 games back by the end of May because we are saving arms, what does it matter at that point. Keep the fans interested as long as possible.

    This is a good bewildering question. When KC was signed, TR had remarked that they needed to get someone, lest be be without a chair at the end of it all. I can't see that strategy being anything reasonable and consistent like the courses you've laid out in the IP, but just getting pitchers with a history of MLB experience seems to be part of the strategy. Unfortunately, this may indeed have been the entire strategy. I suspect we'll never know.

    Right, but then we can't even give money away to get them.

    But he's been awfully durable.

    I find this irony as queer as smoking while on a cannula of oxygen.

    Fair enough, but I was responding to Bonnes assertion that the quizzical signings this winter were, perhaps, a good strategy to try and get higher picks. I would think that the players, though recognizing that these are rebuilding years, would be pretty pissed that the strategy for this year is to go battle your tails off, just no too much that we win a bunch of games. I think that's a blow to morale longer term and the kind of damage to a team's culture and competitiveness that could lead to stagnation and apathy that takes some real rooting out.

    Nor a super cohesive, quiet clubhouse -- I'd bet.

    If the strategy is to really go after that first pick, then why not really try and put rookies out there, up and down? That will get you the most losses and the first pick. The Royals and Pirates are two examples of teams that have had plenty of time to rebuild and somehow never get it done, not even close. They lose, get high picks, and keep on losing.

    Those refreshing, avant-garde homophobe threads really are the stately paragons of robust discussion.
  17. Ultima Ratio
    Those first posts can be tricky

    Failure begets failure. It's not so easy to get young prospects accustomed to losing to suddenly become winners when the front office says, "okay, now we'll try and win."

    Self-deprecating irony or accidentally walking into that joke?

    Phew, at least we'll get a good, extended look at all the young guys he's blocking. /snark

    If Appel fell to #4, would he demand over slot to sign him, again?
  23. Ultima Ratio
    Huntsman: white, male.
  24. Ultima Ratio
    He'll be out there early on his day to pitch, watering the concrete.

    Put a giant dehumidifier in the vacated CF batter's eye, paint it green, and start sucking up that moisture from the concrete. Solves two made-up problems really.
