    I'd like that too. Use the robo ump results to help train the real umps and demote the umps who miss the most calls.

    Count me bored by the idea of a team that might make a run at a wild card spot, or maybe be the champs of baseball's weakest division.
  3. RegularJoe62
    No, not equal to the players, but the human element of umpiring has always been part of the game.

    There's no clock in baseball. No clock. I don't give a @$% what they've done in the minors since 2015 or 1883. There's No. Effing. Clock. Dozier? By all means, extend. Guys in the minors are prospects, not proven talents, no matter where they're ranked by Baseball America. Unless there's someone in AAA hitting 40 dingers with (questionable) Gold Glove defense, then cutting Dozier loose would be idiotic.

    No thanks. Like the pitch clock, this just doesn't belong in the game. If we're doing this, why not have robot players too.

    Call me skeptical about Romero when he's showing durability issues while still in his early 20s.

    Pocket the cash and break the bank for Kershaw next year.

    Can't argue with this, but I don't think the solution is adding a new option at the bottom. Put better starters ahead of Gibson and Mejia, not behind them.

    I just don't get the "meh" attitude about Mauer here. We seem to place no value in a guy just quietly going about doing his job well. 25 guys in all of MLB hit above 300 this year, and he did that with Gold Glove level defense. If he repeats that in 2018, he'll be in demand as a free agent, despite his age.

    Interesting analysis and good background on BABIP, but Kepler isn't going to be more than a platoon player until he learns how to hit lefties, and it's going to be harder for him to do that this year. The more the Twins are in contention, the less able they'll be to throw away plate appearances for Kepler's development.

    I disagree. Paralyzing yourself over fear of making the wrong decision is worse. I've been hearing this for years. We can't trade so-and-so because he could be the next big thing. True, but he could also be the next middling nobody or the next guy that never makes it to the show.
  12. RegularJoe62
    This seems like commonplace thinking that just doesn't add up. You're saying we can't trade the prospects with no trade value, nor can we trade the prospect with trade value. If Hicks has no trade value, then he has no value, and we should unload him for whatever we can get. And if Buxton and Kepler have so much potential that they're untradeable, then who, exactly, is tradeable? Personally, I've heard far too much over the years about the amazing potential upside of prospects, few of whom turn out to be stars at the major league level. It wasn't that long ago that we were hearing that Kyle Gibson was untouchable because he was the second coming of Cy Young.
