    What depth, in regards to young position players,do we actually have? Some of the higher regarded ones have come up and underwhelmed, to say the least, and the ones in the farm system arent highly regarded. The quality isnt there. We had two good chips to get well regarded pitching. Both will be in our opening day lineup.

    And now they are talking about lifting Russian sanctions and cutting the EPA by half (for starters, maybe mire after that). It took less than a week for me to consider him the worst President in my lifetime.

    De leon grades out exceptionally well by my KATOH system. It projects him for 8.1 WAR over his first six seasons by the traditional method (KATOH) and also 10.1 WAR by the method that integrates Baseball America’s rankings (KATOH+). He’s the 13th-highest-ranking prospect by KATOH+ and the third-highest-ranking pitcher.

    Eno Sarris from Fangraphs was on MLB Now (on MLB Network) talking about pitching (his specialty, along with beer:-)) It was a good segment. They were focusing on the Dodgers very deep rotation to start with. Suggested starting Urias later in the season (due to controlling innings for the young man) so he'd be available in the offseason which they expect to be in.

    or even better, 2009.

    are there many/any people saying that this team is truly a 103 loss team? Are any of them people who used baseruns in 2015?
  8. jimmer
    nitpick. I keep reading top 50 pitching prospect. He is a top 50 overall prospect and most listings i have seen have him top 10 pitching prospect.

    Well, if the team regresses, I think our record should be much better. IMO, you are spot on in many areas, especially what you wrote in the Castro part of your article.
  10. jimmer
    I think it would be interesting to say our FO was right if, in season one of six controllable seasons, De Leon was bad. That would be holding De Leon to a standard many/most havent been willing to do with our own prospects and doing it in a season where we arent going to be contending any way.
  11. jimmer
    your version of history is interesting Not everyone was using baseruns as the only reason to explain why the talent wasnt as good as the record and no one was saying the record didnt matter. I remember everyone enjoying the winning. Along with pointing out the record we had in May was way out of whack with the rest of our season, many said the overall record didnt give us a true evaluation on talent due to us having good sequencing. Thats how we could be middle of the road,in the AL, for scoring runs, even though when looking at team offensive numbers like obp and ops and such, they were bottom 3rd. But anyway, then you coninued to laugh at those people dismissing their opinions about the talent level during the offseason before last season when they said they would have a losing record this year. You were said playoffs/playoff contenders. How did that work out? Btw, I noticed you pointed to baseruns yourself recently to say we werent as bad last season as our record said. Its interesting

    If only Stewart had, say, never posted a K% lower than 30% at any level while also only having a 6% BB%, culminating in a 33% K% in triple a last year. THEN we could say he'd have a good chance to be a really good starting pitcher in the majors, cause that's some quality work striking people out. Well, maybe we could say he had a good chance to be a really good starting pitcher in the majors.
  13. jimmer
    What would be the point?
  14. jimmer
    I wish I had as much faith in this young nucleus to be a great team as you do and could speak about it as if it was fact.
  15. jimmer
    If he has another really good season, I imagine he'll want AT LEAST a four year extension worth a good chunk of cash (if he wants one at all with as far away as we'll be) . Yeah, no thanks for me. I love Dozier. I've been a huge fan since before well before he hit the majors, but for me he's a chip we need to move him for young pitching. I can't imagine his stock going up at all because even if he has a strong season, we'll only have one year of control to trade.

    I said today I would ask the question and I did. Glad to see him answer it and I like his response.
  17. jimmer
    we could very well waste their controllable years taking the snail trail to building an actual decent rotation.
  18. jimmer
    still hoping there are good enouhh to deserve them.

    Cameron today explained why he likes De Leon. Never posted a K% lower than 30% at any level. 6% BB%, 33% K% in triple a last year. Then he says 'there is a reason the projections love him. Guys who miss bats like this are almost always good.' Beat me to it, Mike. Its what happens when one can copy and paste and the other has to type it :-)
  20. jimmer
    one wonders how many of these projected FAs next year actually end up FA as opposed to signing extensions.
  21. jimmer
    Well said
  22. jimmer
    mlb's new list has him #9 prospect at shortstop with the potential to be a solid shorstop. Call him 'consistent' Fangraphs propsect guy says he has hit well, but hasnt added much strength. His defense is smooth and projectable as opposed to crisp and mature. Not all scouts are totally sure he is going to stay at shortstop anymore.
  23. jimmer
    I believe everyone who has said Cameron has said these things. Saying I havent heard or read that he said them doesnt mean I dont believe it. I will be looking out and asking him about it in the future.
  24. jimmer
    wow, if you want to believe thats what I am saying, whatever. Its not, but whatever.

    when did I slam the FO on this? My posts have centered more on what I think Dozier is worth, how I feel about the Dodgers prospects and the amount of players I though were offered. I have also said about 200 times that De Leon for Dozier wouldnt be a good trade for us and that De Leon and junk for Dozier wouldnt be a good trade. I havent been slamming the FO. I am disappointed, though completely unsurprised, nothing got done. My issue stems from people saying dont criticize the FO because we dont know what the offers were and then they pat the FO on the back for standing strong saying it was a 1:1 offer or it was De Leon and junk for Dozier. If we dont know what the offer was, we dont know, right? Cant slam other people criticisms based on those people not knowing exactly what the offers were and then pat the FO on the back, while making your own assumptions about what the offers were, even though you also dont know exactly what the offers were.
