    Doubtful, but hope so.

    FTFY :-)

    The question would be, how much better.
  4. jimmer
    If you read it and don't believe it, then fine. They did a 2 year comparison and showed they are very close. Not exactly the same, but close enough. Buy it, don't buy it, doesn't matter. I don't buy Dozier's 2016 as repeatable either.

    One guys opinion at Fangraphs, not Fangraphs entirely. And there is more to the game than HR and RBI, BTW. Reading the article closely might shed light on that.

    I'm providing info written, people can do with it what they want.

    I like me some Buehler

    Dodger FO made a good call Good for them

    Fantasy baseball almost completely excludes the defensive aspect and focuses on mostly traditional stats.
  11. jimmer
    So do I. That's how deep their farm is.
  12. jimmer
    We have absolutely no way of knowing that. And it'd be hard to believe.
  13. jimmer
    The people who do the rankings have actually said that how close the players are to the majors weighs heavily in their rankings.
  14. jimmer
    With what we know right now, I endorse this call. Of course, plenty of stuff can happen between now and then.

    After Buxton and Sano are gone? Risk aversion is the key to building a strong, sustainable, playoff caliber team. jk all ;-)

    I thought maybe there was some kind of list I could look at that I didn't know about. P.S., for me, MLB dot com rankings give too much importance to how close the player is to the majors. I'd rather a prospect list just focus on the talent of the prospect and the projectability of them. Alvarez deserves much higher than 90s. In any event. Did I read your post below right? You believe 2 years of Dozier is worth De Leon, Stewart AND one or two more prospects? 'I'm suggesting two starting pitchers able to come into the Twins' rotation in 2017, plus one or two low A or A level prospects. De Leon and Stewart fit the first part of that bill - but they're hardly equal. I want two starters who have gone through their paces at the AA and AAA levels, pitched at least 120 innings last year (I believe De Leon fell short of that, though) – in essence two guys i reasonably believe can start games and have success at the MLB level in 2017. That and one or two 'lottery ticket' types. What would those one or two prospects be?
  17. jimmer
    Lee, Is there a reason you keep mentioning the Angels' list?
  18. jimmer
    Are the choices only a very strong prospect or 'nothing else of real value'. Do you believe there are no other levels? Maybe that's the problem right there. Just because a player isn't a very strong prospect doesn't mean he has no real value. Dozier wasn't a very strong prospect either. Now, apparently, two years of Dozier is worth two very strong prospects in some eyes
  19. jimmer
    Maybe I need to put the fact that I believe Dozier is worth more than just De Leon or De Leon/garbage in my signature block because saying it about 15 times so far hasn't been enough. Then people can stop throwing that strawman argument at my feet even though I have never said anything of the sort. Problem is, not everyone agrees on the quality of the other prospects the Dodgers have. What some might consider having no value, others might see real value. I see great value in Alvarez, others think of him as a flyer.

    He's averaged 4 WAR over the last 4 years and turns 30 next year. A 4 WAR player teeters between being a good player and an all star player (only been one of those once) But when trading him, we're also only giving up two years of that. Then someone else is going to have to pay up if he continues to be that type of player. A team shouldn't have to give up two very strong prospects for only two years of Dozier. I'd love them to, but it's too much. Some say well prospects are just that, not guarantees, and that's fine. But all players are prospects at one time or another. If we're looking for guarantees on a player/players we get in return for Dozier, there aren't any. At least none that we'll get 6 years of control each over. None. Because none have played enough/at all at the major league level. On top of that, I keep reading how we shouldn't trade Dozier for prospects cause there's no guarantee we'll get a #2 type pitcher. Two years of Dozier isn't worth 6 years of a #2 type pitcher.

    He has hit 30+ HR ONCE, some are acting as if he's a perennial 40 HR hitter. He has a wRC+ over 120 once. Once. A wRC+ over 110 twice. Twice. Why are we acting as if he's a consistent offensive force? Have we just not been paying attention? We somewhat recently extended/overvalued a pitcher based on a career year. Oops. On top of that, he's not a defensive wiz. He's an average defender. Additionally, he has only two years left on his contract, not 4 or 5. Two.
  22. jimmer
    I think if we're pointing to next season and saying that there will be better pitching available to us in FA, then we haven't been paying much attention to our team. The quality FA pitchers that MAY be available next offseason will be taken up by teams that are willing to step up and pay the price necessary.
  23. jimmer
    Problem is, once the 5th starter was introduced, it hurt the bench and once the DH was introduced, it hurt the bench in the AL. And that was before teams started using, and expanding, bullpens more.
  24. jimmer
    MLB could expand rosters AND, at the same time, put a limit on the amount of pitchers a team can have on the roster.
  25. jimmer
    We haven't all agreed to that. Not only do we not know what the offers were, but we don't even agree on what would be a fair offer. For example, some believe De Leon and Alvarez is a good/fair trade, Some think even more needs to be added in order to make it fair for the Twins side. Some think asking for De Leon and Alvarez is more than Dozier is worth. The only thing we know for sure is that if our new FO thought the trade offer was good enough, the deal would be done.
