    Agreed. For a HS arm he appears to be progressing along nicely. I would imagine next year Stewart repeats AA for a month or 2, then moves up to AAA. All depending on his performance, of course.

    Welcome to TD! Your username should be relevant for the next 2-3-15 years

    I have no idea if this Arizona pitcher is a future MLB prospect or not. Either way it's another example of the NCAA and these schools exploiting athletes for the sole purpose of earning more money for the university. It's hard to argue that they're doing these kids any favors preventing future arm injuries.

    It's also pretty telling where this organization is currently when May, and the occasional mention of Pressly/Gibson are the only MLB arms people would keep.

    That's going to be a fun story to tell future kids/grand kids one day about land lines... Believe it or not little Tommy, there was a time when we didn't have hand-held computers in our possession at all times. We used to have to call people at their house to see if they were home and available to play backyard baseball that afternoon.

    My go-to with telemarketers is saying "I like turtles" *click*. It'd be interesting to see the call notes on me from the college I attended when they're making donation calls.

    No better time than today on National Paul Bunyan Day!
  9. Vanimal46
    Huh, well I stand corrected! Never would have guessed there are several Paul Bunyan statues around the country. I remember taking pictures in front of the statue in Brainerd, MN as a kid. Probably lost in a photo album somewhere at mom and dad's house.

    R.I.P. Pat Summitt. She passed away this morning at age 64.

    Happy National Paul Bunyan Day! A special day for people tied to Minnesota. I remember the tall tale of Paul Bunyan creating all of Minnesota's lakes so Babe the Blue Ox had several places to drink. My co-worker from Michigan remembers the tall tale of Paul Bunyan creating the Great Lakes for Babe the Blue Ox to drink. Apparently other states claim they're the home of Paul Bunyan? Well, I think they lose since there's a giant statue of Bunyan in northern Minnesota. Also, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbtfZpqq3oA

    Washington Nationals prospect Lucas Giolito got the call today to make his MLB debut. The 21 year old is considered to be top prospect in baseball according to MLB.com. He'll be on the mound tomorrow.

    Was browsing on the old Fangraphs chat today and saw a familiar name..... mike sixel 2:26 Buxton still having issues......I know prospects can struggle and still turn out to be great, but there are degrees of struggle. What are your thoughts on Lord Byron these days? Eric A Longenhagen 2:27 I think Buxton is so physically gifted that he's never before had to make any significant adjustments. It's unfortunate that he's going to have to do it on such a well-lit stage. I still think he's going to be one hell of a big leaguer, but it's going to take some time.

    A-Rod is another good example of players playing for reasons other than chasing a WS ring. I don't think there's any question he's playing right now for individual records and the pay check.
  15. Vanimal46
    He's wealthy enough to leave and easily still have family around, sure. The other beauty of being wealthy is choosing where you want to live, and he's been loyal to his home state. All signs are indicating that playing in his home state far outweighs his desire to chase a WS ring. And there's nothing wrong with that. Not every baseball player has winning a WS on top of their priority list.
  16. Vanimal46
    Vargas has been quietly heating up the last week. SSS alert, but he's hitting .300/.417/.800 with 3 HRs and 5 RBI the last 7 days. I wouldn't mind seeing what he can do on the MLB club since Park has continued his struggles.
  17. Vanimal46
    I agree with you and Mike on this one. Let me throw a hypothetical at you. If there are teams showing interest in Santana, and zero interest in Nolasco/Hughes, do you let Santana go, and fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you think of it, retain Nolasco/Hughes for 2017?
  18. Vanimal46
    I'd be interested to find out. But this is Minnesota, where there is an irrational fear that everyone who leaves will develop into a future HOF player.
  19. Vanimal46
    I would think that is the case. I don't know this as fact, but it seems like he values living closer to home more than chasing a WS ring. So odds are he won't be requesting a trade anytime soon.
  20. Vanimal46
    I'd need to hire a ghost writer like RB. The thread themes would dry out quickly.
  21. Vanimal46
    Chicken Dinnah! Today gives me a 5-1 game thread record this year. Not sure what the WAR would be...
  22. Vanimal46
    Centeno!!
  23. Vanimal46
    Come on Molly. No one wants to see Kintzler this game.
  24. Vanimal46
    Throw Duffey out in the 9th. Been a long time since we've seen a complete game...
  25. Vanimal46
    At least he followed up with 3 straight strikeouts!
