    That's fine too, but I don't think we should ever just give a prospect a job. Development takes time and based on Hicks and Buxton as examples where there wasn't competition it seems like most players need that extra push. Even Morneau had to display Dougie.
  2. Shaitan
    I don't get the extension talk throughout this whole thread. Has a single rental player signed an extension IN SEASON in recent years? It happens with trades, but those are almost always in Nov-Jan.
  3. Shaitan
    I hope Gordon gives him a run for it. Competition is always good at the MLB level.
  4. Shaitan
    Also, maintaining health is key.
  5. Shaitan
    Rentals are different though. Think of what the Twins got for Morneau. I'm hopeful that a package more comparable to last year's Dozier trade could get it done. But I ain't no GM.
  6. Shaitan
    I think he's in toast but why not? It's a minor league deal. Even if they call him up, it's hard to imagine a worse performance out of the bottom-ranking bullpen arm at this point.
  7. Shaitan
    Cave has been awful but...you need a pure OF for the 4th OF spot. Maybe Wade (who is already on the 40 man). But if Buxton heals fast, I'd keep Cave on the MLB roster through this injury, knowing he might not return.
  8. Shaitan
    Surprised that Stewart is only 24. You'd think he was 32 given the commentary sometimes.
  9. Shaitan
    I can't picture the Nationals going into full sale mode, but on a one-year deal, he's a perfect candidate if they go half-sale mode.
  10. Shaitan
    My fantasy OF was already weak
  11. Shaitan
    I'm definitely not a pitching coach, but to me it seems like his control is either on or off. When he was in the bullpen in April it was off and there weren't results. If he's throwing 60-70% strikes he gets results. Though that's probably the case for any pitcher, to a point.
  12. Shaitan
    This may be selective memory, but I feel like he was never a top prospect. Instead, he was a "Twins top prospect" during a dry spell in the farm system. In other words, he rated highly but against lesser competition than, say, the present.
  13. Shaitan
    CBA is a good point.
  14. Shaitan
    I get it but...he couldn't even get an out in a blowout. They'd have been better off just keeping Eades on the roster and waiting it out (in retrospect).
  15. Shaitan
    Seattle is on a pace to destroy the Twins 30-some pitchers of a few years ago. Last I heard they'd already used something like 22 different arms.
  16. Shaitan
    I'm about done with Romero. I'm not sure why they felt he deserves a chance more than Eades right now.
  17. Shaitan
    This alcohol vs chew seems irrelevant, but thanks for putting me in my place.
  18. Shaitan
    I have no idea what point you're trying to make here.
  19. Shaitan
    So? The thread was discussing Budweiser ads in stadiums and on TV. Also, they aren't exactly consuming the alcohol in that photo.
  20. Shaitan
    They're on the job. Their employer has the right to decide what they can and can't do on the field and at the stadium.
  21. Shaitan
    There's a big difference between (disclosed) advertising and a player's use of a product.
  22. Shaitan
    I feel like he's on the IL every year. I'd take him if he's not the only addition, but otherwise he seems like a risk.
  23. Shaitan
    I don't see SD trading controllable talent after their free agent investments. Pending free agents, sure. But they're also playing for next year. But who knows. The trade game is unpredictable.
  24. Shaitan
    Wasn't there an article last year (probably on this site) that ranked runners by speed and Adrianza was barely faster than Mauer?
  25. Shaitan
    Good call.
