    Kennys Vargas isn't doing well overseas... .203/.345/.319 1 HR in 84 PA. With a 25 Ks and 13 BB.

    A telling tale for Reed is his velocity numbers. Any tweet/report showing how fast he's throwing?
  4. Vanimal46
    He's hitting 69.7% of his weight right now... Just a few more hitless at bats and your statement is true!

    As Mike replied before, most reports about prospects are rosy. Especially when the prospect finished high-A ball heading into their first season of AA. This year is most likely Graterol's peak value as a minor leaguer. He'll have experience in AA, and we'll have a better idea whether he will truly be a starter or reliever. Last season for Stroman was rough, no doubt. He hit the IL with shoulder issues that contributed to the bad season. The previous 2 seasons he threw 200+ innings with very respectable ERA/FIP peripherals. Because of his past history, he's more accomplished than Odorizzi when he was acquired, or Lynn. I see you're leaning towards regression for Stroman. I'm leaning towards a bounce back to his previous production from 2016-2017. If he does, he's certainly a #2/3 type pitcher on a contending roster.

    Everyone dies, and the last frame we see is Bran sitting in the courtyard wondering where everyone is... *Fade to Black*

    Thanks for digging into it. I'm more open to giving up Graterol because of your last paragraph... Balazovic is on the rise to top 100 prospect status, and I believe in his ability to stick as a SP over Graterol.

    The Night King story is incredibly disappointing. How can you build up something for 7+ seasons then make it so easy to kill him? My friend brought up a great point about the dragon being killed... You mean to tell us Dany could raid 3 LARGE cities with baby dragons in previous seasons, then fly away scared with FULLY GROWN dragons because of a fleet of ships? B.S. They wrote the script this season like Dany forgot everything she learned in the past taking over cities.

    Stroman was mentioned in trade rumors over the winter, and voiced his displeasure with Toronto over extension discussions. https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-stroman-divergent-paths-seem-headed-divorce/ He's rebounding nicely this season after a disappointing 2017... Averaging nearly 6 innings per start, 2.96 ERA / 3.10 FIP / 8.1 K/9 / 3.5 BB/9 He's 28 years old and controlled through 2020. Who would you give up for Stroman?
  10. Vanimal46
    Concur. He's broken now, probably for good. The only way I'd want him back is if he gained the 2 MPH he lost last season.
  11. Vanimal46
    When should we come over for the feast?
  12. Vanimal46
    Isn't that why we signed Marwin? So he can be the solution to whatever injury/lack of production comes up over the season?
  13. Vanimal46
    The next 19 games are against non-playoff teams last season. Most likely non-playoff teams this season... It's not crazy to think this team will be double digit games above .500 after this stretch.

    Congrats on the staff for transforming Perez into a new pitcher... Kudos to Perez for mastering a new pitch and trusting to throw it almost 40% of the time. He's certainly extended his career... If he keeps this up the option year in 2020 is a no brainier! Berrios needs a sidekick or 2 in the rotation. It could be him!
  15. Vanimal46
    A couple of factors: Falvey does most of his work in March, which makes for a frustrating winter. There have been articles written already that Falvey doesn't take a personal approach with the players. Such as not discussing Dozier's future, not giving players the heads up that they're being traded, etc. They appear cold and calculated. They're investing in things behind the scenes that average fans can't see or care about.

    Haven't seen that show but I've heard good things. I didn't mind the ending for Breaking Bad... The Americans wasn't bad either. But they're few and far between.
  17. Vanimal46
    The articles are helping me get to this point admittedly. I still like the show quite a bit. I really want to get an explanation about the Night King... Since that was 7+ seasons of build up. It feels like we're not getting our payout there at all.
  18. Vanimal46
    Sigh... All of these articles I can agree with. It's starting to feel rushed and incomplete on several plot developments. At this point I feel confident Cersei and Dany aren't going to be on the iron throne. The one character that would make me mad if he is named king of the 7 kingdoms is Bran.... Please don't let it be Bran.
  19. Vanimal46
    With GoT wrapping up in a couple of weeks I was thinking about this... Is there a long running show that comes to mind where you enjoyed the ending? I'm preparing to be disappointed because it's difficult to write an ending most people will accept/enjoy. To this day I still think Dexter is the worst finale ever for a TV show.
  20. Vanimal46
    The internet sees everything... When did they have time to open a Starbucks in Winterfell?
  21. Vanimal46
    Dany does underestimate everyone... What do they think Cersei was doing while they were fighting the Night King? They were aware of the giant freaking bow as a weapon... Yet that wasn't discussed during their war strategy meeting.
  22. Vanimal46
    I think Jaime was just keeping Brienne away from the situation. He needs to face Cersei alone... I think he realizes she's a monster and will do the right thing by killing her himself.
  23. Vanimal46
    I actually liked this episode more than the first 2 episodes of the season... But I also like this story more than the wight walkers and the night king. Which, they still haven't explained why he was there in the first place... Ugh. Everyone is getting consumed by power now... Dany is losing it because she sees the way her followers look at Jon and she knows he's the true king. Sansa sees a slight opportunity to claim the throne herself and will play dirty to get it. Cersei is completely consumed by the power... That was not a face that looks prepared to surrender.
  24. Vanimal46
    The tone is set for next week!

    Today's market inefficiency is acquiring rental players at the deadline. Over the last couple of years prices are declining for these assets. I'd like the Twins to use their surplus of A ball lottery tickets and push for a division title.
