  1. So much for shortening the length of the game.
  2. Great D! Love Rodney. He has some deception to his pitching
  3. I honestly feel like Sano is a bigger risk than Buxton
  4. Maybe we could trade for Cole Hamels. He is unhappy with the Rangers 6 man rotation. They want to go with more pitchers Andes innings. Maybe Gonsalves and Romero would get it done?
  5. Wow didn’t realize it was 90 minutes! Maybe some just quick hitters or interesting points
  6. Do you have a transcript version? Don’t listen much but would be interested if they had any interesting quotes
  7. I agree that if we like Kinley we have a lot of options of trading a borderline guy to the Miami to keep him. No reason for him to start in majors
  8. Wow we lost a lot of guys. For me Randy Rosario hurts the most
  9. Seeing Jay at 19 and Severino at 18? Without going further, I know this is one hell of a system. If we are in contention at the deadline, we will have pieces teams are interested in.
  10. Bob... I saw him in Cedar Rapids and for some reason when I saw him, he reminded me of George Springer. Not sure why exactly, but just made me think of him. Thoughts?
  11. Same here... I didn't read about him at all until a few hours before the draft and was loving it. Wasn't feeling McKay at all. Wright scared me. I wanted Greene but I wasn't sure. I think Gore would be a great pick but he seemed to be the 4th best value at pitcher for that pick and it'd be hard to reach that much. Then I read about Lewis. Athletic as hell. Even better intangibles. The kicker? Coming at a discount to get another guy... After Rooker and Leach, I was skeptical again (they didn't seem like the high dollar guy, and I wanted the Minnesota Pitcher) but then we got Enlow. Loved that.
  12. wow .330 BABIP. Puts the last month in perspective. He was great but had some bad luck. Let's get him going strong. Hope he can debut this year.
  13. In football terms, it’s like trading for a starter for a future 4th round pick
  14. Bingo. Even if it turned some of those homers into doubles. Its a net positive.
  15. Exactly. But they impact performance. Lets add them to the equation. Let’s pretend 500 balls in play at .300. That’s 150 hits. Now 500 balls in play at .200. That’s 100 hits. Now let’s add 30 homeruns to the .200 rate and 18 homeruns to the .300 rate 168/518 = .324 130/530 = .245 Closes the gap in rate quite dramatically. Now plug in the actual numbers? .270 vs. .230 starting point? Actual average balls in play each year... can’t find the raw stats that go into it, but I’m guessing there’s no difference once you account for homeruns.
  16. 40 extra innInns. Year before was 18 in more innings as well. That makes up for the BABIP argument
  17. I’ll take odorrizzi having higher BABIP rate if it means giving up less homers
  18. Won’t like me quote you mike but came here to post the same article. His BABIP was so low last year because those 17 extra hits were homers last year and didn’t count towards BABIP.
  19. With the recent move... Id love an archer/Dickerson for Kepler trade. They could chose any 3-4 prospects not named Lewis, Enlow, or graterol
  20. Look at his September... Great month. Back issues early in the year. Got him super cheap. Only 4th best SS prospect. Great value.
  21. This also opens up room to give Lewis to start in FSL with Javier in Cedar Rapids.
  22. Pretty much where I sit. Only 4th best SS prospect to boot. He could have a good career and Id still feel good about the value with the risk there. When the ticker said "Odorizzi to Twins for SS prospect" I thought for sure it was Nick Gordon and iffy. If it was Javier, I would've lost my mind. This was great.
  23. I still cant believe we got Odorizzi for Palacios and thats it. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a fine prospect, but when I saw the headliner that a SS was involved, I thought immediately it was Gordon, or worse, Javier. To give up only our 4th best SS prospect is great. Maybe they like Palacios better than Gordon, but I still take Gordon over him quite easily.
