    I like Caleb Smith (LHP) now that he has recovered from his June dead arm.
  2. Lonestar
    Hicks hit his HR off an RHP
  3. Lonestar
    Fangraphs has BB%, K%, K%-BB%, and BABIP readily accessible.
  4. Lonestar
    It didn't work for him in 2012 in Pittsburgh.

    Why is no one complaining about May throwing 120 pitches. That would be a lot for an established pitcher in the MLB. It makes no sense in AAA.
  6. Lonestar
    Most pitchers don't add the curve at this stage. You have already mentioned Cuellar's changeup. I was thinking of a japanese splitter.

    I think your top 10 is made up of the right people. We could quibble about rankings. For example, I would rank Gordon (who hasn't played an inning yet) behind Berrios. I could see May a couple of notches higher. The Twins' farm system is so well stocked that I couldn't put a college reliever in the Top 10

    As a Dominican, I don't Sano can go to the Arizona Fall League

    If the Twins are going for it, why wait for the Super 2 date?
  10. Lonestar
    Aiken will never get more money than he will get this year. At least it's not worth the risk.
  11. Lonestar
    That would be weird playing a left handed thrower at 2B

    I don't mean to bust your chops but I believe hands, instincts, and reactions come under fielding.

    If I remember right, Jay is less than average in CF. and the Cards have been protecting him from LHP's. Why not promote Danny Ortiz?
  15. Lonestar
    Doesn't John Sickels call Wheeler a sleeper possibility?
  16. Lonestar
    I found those, too, before I asked. They are not scouts, nor have they played them on TV.

    I don't recall any projection of more velocity for Nola and would appreciate a link. I would be very careful of tweaking his delivery. There is some projection for his changeup and maybe his breaking ball (slider IIRC).
  18. Lonestar
    Think Radke with 3-5 mph more velocity and greater GB%. IIRC, Radke's changeup was plus and Nola's is not there yet. I've changed my mind. I would not be disappointed with the Twins taking Nola.

    From BA's write up of yesterday's game http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/sec-tournament-notebook-a-salute-to-nola/ Fastball sounds better than I thought. Changeup doesn't read to me like it's a plus pitch.
  20. Lonestar
    What he said. I was aware of Kepler's numbers but those pitchers surprised me. Well done.
  21. Lonestar
    Too bad the Iso D = .010. BB% for the year = 2%
  22. Lonestar
    I agree with BPA. But then again if it's that close, it could make a difference. I agree with flipping a good player. Hopefully they are not on TJS rehab when you want to trade them. If Rodon were to slip to 1-5 (which was a real possibility in March), I might pass because of the possibility that Boras would 'advise' him to pull an Appel.
  23. Lonestar
    Scott Boras is Chris Parmelee's agent. And Alex Meyer's.

    On May 8, Jim Callis wrote: Nola has two potential plus offerings in his fastball and changeup. He has what it take to be a good No. 3 starter http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/pipeline-inbox-who-will-white-sox-draft-first?ymd=20140508&content_id=74770502 Now the MLBPipeline Top 100 Prospects says Nola has a 60 fastball and 60 changeup. Both plus for those of you keeping score at home. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2014/#list=draft Two plus pitches with plus control would make Nola a #2. There’s a lot of difference between ‘potential plus’ and ‘plus’ and that would affect ones perspective of Nola. I am surprised his control is rated only 60. One advantage Nola would have in the Radke comp (besides higher velocity) is that he is a GB-oriented pitcher. Some of that will change when he faces better hitters.

    Brock, Perkins was the 22nd pick in the first round, two after Plouffe. Revere was a head scratcher at the time and a disappointment since we traded him, but we did trade him for Trevor May. And Vance Worley. And that was an incredibly weak draft.
