    I think he meant he likely won't be in the majors this year so the next season he'd be 27, but semantics is a fun game.
  2. jimmer
    at this point, he's nothing more than a project.
  3. jimmer
    If you want to think going from a 20-50 ish prospect two years in a row to out of the top 100 is no big deal, that's completely your choice.
  4. jimmer
    3 years in a row he was in the pre-season top 100 prospects then fell completely off this year.

    The Twins showed how much they care about defense when they put Sano in the OF. Or Santana anywhere...
  6. jimmer
    Twins are 29th in defense in regards to defensive runs saved (-51). At least we aren't 30th... If errors and/or fielding % are your defensive stats of choice, also 29th in both.

    Is that the Rosario who has a .290 OBP this year and falling (after peaking at a whopping .301)? His .290 OBP is an improvement over his .289 OBP last year. Small steps. :-) And IF he's a big reason why the twins have been playing so well then one must conclude he's also a big reason why we've gone 1-5 in the last 6 games where he's gotten 10Ks, four hits and zero walks. 3 Walks since the beginning of June May. His BABIP, however, has gone through the roof since the beginning of July.

    For the Cards, Peralta is at 3B, and Carpenter is at 1st. They moved Peralta to 3B because Diaz was doing so well. Now he's out so Garcia is there. But it's not like Carpenter can't go back to 3B if they want Moss at 1B with Peralta sliding back to shortstop. They have options.

    I will enjoy watching Meyer play for the Salt Lake Bees for the next 3 seasons :-)
  10. jimmer
    uhhhhh, mayyyyybe... :-)

    There was at least one GM in 2015 who said that :-)

    you know, I was thinking, what if the Astros make the playoffs by one game? They can thank the rain for it.

    later I went over to a female bartender and asked for sex on the beach. She said there weren't any beaches near London :-)
  14. jimmer
    Most Brits I know have a dry sense of humor. He had a smirk when he gave it to me. Oh, and flathead :-)

    First time I went to a pub in London I asked for a screwdriver. bartender took my order and jump out from behind the bar and went into an office. Came out a couple minutes later with an actual screwdriver :-)

    Here is Grossman's line from 2013-2015. .240/.327/.341 (that's an OPS of 668, from a corner OF). He had a wRC+ of 91 (again, from a corner OF). before taking into account his poor defense, that's bad offense from a corner OF. And for those who care, his fWAR for that time frame was 0.5.
  17. jimmer
    That OBP is heavily influenced by an out of character first half this year. And defense matters too (or should). But yes, he's a 4th/5th OF type. Unfortunately, Rosario is also a 4th OF type.
  18. jimmer
    Robbie Grossman didn't just start playing MLB this year. He was called up in 2013 and got decent playing time and then got quite a bit of playing time in 2014. Neither year was good. Then he took an even worse header in 2015 causing him to be released. We don't just have this year to see what kind of player he is. Also, one doesn't need to look at the metrics and say his defense isn't good. All they have to do is watch him. The eye test and metrics match. Anyway, he's coming back down to the player he has always been after an enjoyable first half.

    Ok, well, Jason Werth and Bryant are both an inch taller and 35-40 pounds lighter than Sano, and Bryant wasn't thrown out there and told you're an OF now (or for a whole season) like was the plan for Sano. See Bryant is actually a very good fielding 3B (unlike Sano), so only when other IF need to get some time in (because the Cubs are actually loaded with legitimate positional talent) does he go to OF. And when names like Carlos Less and Dunn (who, BTW, played OF in the minors exclusively unlike Sano who never played it) are pulled out as examples of successful fielding in the OF, well, you just got to wonder how far you're willing to go to try...
  20. jimmer
    I'm fine with having Polanco at shortstop.
  21. jimmer
    Bryant is an inch taller and 35-40 pounds lighter than Sano. Bryant is the same height as Jason Heyward (who plays a mean OF), but actually 10 pounds lighter. Bryant was also not thrown out there and told OF is now your permanent home for the season.
  22. jimmer
    have either been put on waivers?
  23. jimmer
    does any team employ only 11 pitchers on a regular basis?
  24. jimmer
    besides us. I can see us doing it.
  25. jimmer
    that or it shows that all major leaguers make great plays here and there. He IS great on coming in on soft hit, slow grounders and throwing. There are other times when people have raved about a play that is routine for most 3B Our announcers are good at that.
