    strikeout prone? 20% is strikeout prone?

    Fangraphs has Alvarez as the Dodgers #1 prospect (I'd say he's #2 behind Bellinger), DeLeon as #4 and Sheffield as #10. Again, it's fantasy that Dozier is worth 2 top 4 prospects and another in the top 10 in any farm system , much less a really good one like the Dodgers'.
  3. jimmer
    Colon and Dickey, if they perform well,might be able to be flipped at the deadline to build up the farm system

    Suzuki had a decent offensive season this season year and another in 2014. Those are the only two seasons this decade he hasn't been horrible at the plate. Between his uncertainty hitting, and his horrible defense, it's no surprise he's not a hot commodity.

    Twins couldn't get Bellinger by himself for Dozier, Perkins and Santiago, much less get Bellinger AND DeLeon plus others. This trade idea is pure fantasy, but certainly would be enough to get Dozier. The bright side for some is that Bellinger is actually a legitimate 1B prospect both offensively and defensively and he would displace Mauer at 1B. But again, pure fantasy. Bellinger isn't going anywhere except to LA about mid-season replacing AGone.

    Exactly. I am wholeheartedly against automated balls and strikes.
  7. jimmer
    As the club stands right now, I'd say between 65-70.
  8. jimmer
    It should be 26 or even 27. And teams should only be allowed 13 pitchers.
  9. jimmer
    Absolutely Ryan.

    How surplus value is determined for prospects ranked in categories. Top 10 (pitchers and hitters), next 10, etc. Explains how teams get a lot of surplus value from the best prospects based on WAR accumulated while they are getting paid during their pre-arbitration years. Worth reading if one is interested. 'By going back through Baseball America’s Top 100 lists from 1994-2005, we can evaluate 12 years worth of players and see how their careers went during their team-controlled years of zero to 6 years of service time. This is when a team gets the most value out of a prospect, as they can pay them $500,000 for the first three years and then depressed salaries through the arbitration process for the next three years.' http://www.thepointofpittsburgh.com/how-much-an-mlb-prospect-is-worth-updated-trade-surplus-values/ (the above link is 2 years old, so surplus values have gone up just a bit, but it's more in-depth explanation than the below link) More updated version: http://www.thepointofpittsburgh.com/mlb-prospect-surplus-values-2016-updated-edition/

    Walker has a lot of unrealized potential. It could very well stay that way. Segura may or may not have turned a corner. I am actually intrigued by Haniger, who Seattle is getting.
  12. jimmer
    I'm sure that's what he's doing.

    Brian: Is Brian Dozier worth a top 10 prospect? Dave Cameron: Probably not. Say he’s a +3.5 WAR player, so he’s worth something like $30 million a year for the next two years. He’s going to make $15M instead of $60M, so there’s a lot of value there, but top 10 prospects are worth more than $45M.

    CarrotJuice: Give me your hottest take on Castro signing! Dave Cameron: If the team that employs Mike Fast (that's the Astros Director of Research and Development) isn’t interested in bringing you back, maybe your framing value isn’t as likely to continue as the Twins are hoping. Zonk: There is no question Jason Castro makes the Twins better. But is it too soon for them to sign a veteran catcher like that? Or does he figure to be important to development of young pitching? Dave Cameron: Yeah, they can probably argue he’ll help guys like Berrios. Plus, they had to spend their money on something. Better something small than more Ricky Nolasco deals.

    Angels have nothing of interest in their farm system to trade for Dozier.

    I used to be in Germany. I was able to keep up by having MLB.TV. Won't be able to watch too many games live, but all the games will be able to be watched afterwards too.

    Some might say Schwarber and Baez are pretty good picks too. Some good things are expected from Almora too, while Happ looks to be interesting too.
  18. jimmer
    Crawford is an awesome defensive shortstop. EASILY top 5 defensively and probably top 3. And he finished 4th in WAR for NL players. He's a fantastic shortstop, and there are few I'd take over him when taking into account the whole package.
  19. jimmer
    Could not have been said better.
  20. jimmer
    we'd have to actually have some stud prospects in order for any to be blocked on this team ;-)
  21. jimmer
    Now they need to address the 29th ranked team defense :-)
  22. jimmer
    yes, this.

    In 2015, Castro caught 17 of Kuechel's games, ERA of 2.26. Conger caught 16, ERA of 2.67. Pretty darn close to the same. And Castro caught Kuechel this year too, right? 16 games, 99 innings, ERA over 5.00. 9 games with Gattis catching his ERA was about half of what it was with Castro. Why was Kuechel so much better with Gattis? I'm just messing, though. Your post was very good and makes good points.

    And some people raved about how good Suzuki was at calling games and working with pitchers to help our staff as we gave him an extension. We'll see how it goes. It's an improvement.
  25. jimmer
    Trying this again: We got him for a good price. He's an improvement. I wonder how much. We'll find out.
