    I thought a "fungible" pitcher was a pitcher who is able to hit fungoes during batting practice. Thank you for hepin' mah larnin'.

    Aaron Thompson is shedible.
  3. sane
    That decision has to be made when the numbers game is being played. Right now, it is easy to sign and promote everyone. When roster limits become an issue, keeping him may not look like such a good idea.

    Stay away from there. Detroit is a scary city also.

    So was Babe Ruth's uppercut swing exploitable, except for the 714 times it wasn't!

    Is it acceptable for him to trot on HR's?
  7. sane
    I am saying that the statement "if he hasn't developed the control necessary...he never will" is an opinion with which I vehemently disagree. I think he is worth a look NOW, later and much later, because of the precedent frequency of late developing big kids as pitchers, football players and basketball players.
  8. sane
    Seems to me that examples of tall pitchers who developed their control late are relevant as to whether 6'9" Alex Meyer can "help the pen?" If it's not relevant, then I made a mistake, and I will take my punishment.

    From hardballtimes.com: "Thus all things being equal a tall pitcher is much more likely to finally attain MLB skills than a shorter pitcher. Why? Greater “plane,” closer release point, longer fingers for more movement, greater overall strength and more reliability.."

    What's with the Angels and FISH? They had (Tim) Salmon. Now they have (Mike) Trout. And they have always had MANY players who were called Crappie(s).
  12. sane
    If I were to comment appropriately to that statement, I would likely be sent to the Blog Poster Prison. Do you have any idea how many pitchers (especially TALL pitchers develop pitch command later in their careers than Meyer is now?...I'll take that as a "NO".

    You have already fired Bremer, Blyleven and Achter. Am I going to have to wait in line for my unemployment check?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_(baseball) Wikipedia "In baseball, an ace is the best starting pitcher on a team and nearly always the first pitcher in the team's starting rotation. Barring injury or exceptional circumstances, an ace typically starts on Opening Day"
  15. sane
    I guess you don't define "Ace" as the best starting pitcher on any given staff. Nolasco and Blackburn fit that definition for brief periods.
  16. sane
    Uh, Opening Day starting pitchers: Samardzija Cubs 2013-2014 Tillman Orioles 2014-2015 Norris Astros 2013 Sabathia. Yanks 2009-2014, Indians 2003-2008 (except 2005)

    Ace? We don't need no stinkin' ACE! We coulda been a contender with: SAMARDZIJA 9-13 5.27 ERA NORRIS 3-11 7.06 ERA ANIBAL SANCHEZ 10-10 4.99 ERA PORCELLO 8-12 5.06 ERA SABATHIA 4-9 4.93 ERA TILLMAN 9-11 5.21 ERA GUTHRIE 8-7 5.55 ERA

    Nah! It's just the Minnesota Doomsday Preppers, fortifying themselves against the "inevitable" failure and disappointment awaiting their sports teams and their hopes.It has something to do with long, cold, desolate winters on the prairies and in the woods of the near-Arctic tundra. Nothing to worry about.........

    I agree with you. Matt is an outlier, and he is "one of MY faves" also. I was one of Matt's coaches in Pony League and High School baseball. And if any of us says that "we saw his success coming", that guy is lying through his teeth" It is a fabulous success story for a terrific young man!

    Stats at lower levels barely relate to future MLB stats. Matt Duffy, 3B of the S.F.Giants is in the running for NL Rookie of the Year. In two seasons of college ball at Long Beach State, he hit ZERO homeruns, and: .260-BA 300-AB 30-R 78-H 5-doubles 0-triples 0-HR 38-RBI NOW, FOUR Years later for the San Francisco Giants: .304-BA 504-AB 69-R 153-H 26-doubles 6-triples 10-HR 71-RBI .304/.341/.438/.780 Fit THAT on the chart and tell me how it projected!

    I'm trying to get my wife to call me that. So far, no luck!

    The National League was founded on Feb 2, 1876 The National League had eight original members: the Boston Red Stockings (now the Atlanta Braves), Chicago White Stockings (now the Chicago Cubs), Cincinnati Red Stockings, Hartford Dark Blues, Louisville Grays, Mutual of New York, Philadelphia Athletics and the St. Louis Brown Stockings.

    Are you saying that I can't debate disagreements, JUST because we both know I am wrong?

    "If the Twins didn't let Ortiz walk over 1.5 million, how many more playoff series and World Series would they have won?" If Twins' fans could have let it go, how many mental health facilities would have been forced to close in Minnesota?
