    there are like 25 Castros and Ramirezes in the system, somebody can just take a placeholder and sort it out after the draft

    this inning has already forced me to reevaluate everything i thought i knew about Kyle Hendricks three straight swinging strikes by Punto (4.1% SwStr last year) sandwiched in between two four-pitch walks
  3. sneakypower
    mine all looked good
  4. sneakypower
    that's basically our normal everyday lineup, get used to it
  5. sneakypower
    wasn't he a top-75 prospect just two years ago? he's progressed through the system at a pretty typical pace since but anyway, Szczur shows more in game power (XBHs) than Andreoli and seems to have a better defensive reputation i'd rather compare him to somebody like Vitters, whom we actually know more about; i'd have little hesitation in betting on Szczur to post higher a career WAR
  6. sneakypower
    Szczur still being up there is kind of insane

    Keith Appling's wrist is the new Chris Duhon's ribs

    Mauer's slated for five more seasons of 1B duty; Sano pushing him to DH makes that contract hurt worse
  9. sneakypower
    if guys can pitch after tjs, i think he'll still be capable of playing somewhere on the diamond adequately

    Baez swinging so hard he falls over

    hahaha awesome

    maybe he'll be a defensive replacement at 3B, so they can have that fringe average glove out there

    i was listening to a podcast or maybe just the radio? a little while ago and they were basically saying MSU's messed up their next few seasons fooling around with Chicago (J Parker, C Alexander), saying area kids just want to get paid, either directly (UK) or indirectly (KU, Duke?) and UM has been better served abandoning that avenue altogether since dabbling with Patrick Beverley forever ago lol, that's such sour grapes. Every fan base does it when they don't get the kids they want. Oddly enough, no one ever can produce any actual evidence. And the idea that any school is "directly" paying anyone is lunacy. I don't deny that there's all sorts of dirty stuff happening everywhere, in every program. But no program is dumb enough to "directly" pay a player. UK has to pay kids least of all. Nothing's cooler than going to Kentucky. And ever since LeBron and co banded together in Miami, forming dream teams is pretty popular too. to be perfectly honest, i wasn't entirely sure what that meant since the guy only briefly mentioned it off-the-cuff; i had mostly just assumed it meant screwing around for a year at a high-profile program and jumping ship it wouldn't be sour grapes though, this was coming from a UM perspective crowing about MSU's uninspiring near-future

    Draft?

    sneakypower replied to Quakers's topic in Fantasy Sports

    any candidates?
  22. sneakypower
    Gray's got the same ETA as Bryant; he'll be in the bigs soon and carry the same injury risk as every other pitcher who hasn't been significantly injured yet
  23. sneakypower
    this line of thought still basically amounts to "a bird in the hand is worth one in the bush"
  24. sneakypower
    you make this sound so much easier than it probably is, in practice; you have to assume other teams are going to fall in love with our minor leaguers we can't actually put into MLB situations to prove their worth so in the future, after Bryant is demolishing AAA, we can package him with a couple other really interesting guys, for just a couple years of an established starter, like KC did with Myers it's easy to assume there are other less dramatic paths we could take (Washington/Fister, Rockies/Anderson), but if it were that simple, we'd have just done this already to address our current glaring pitching need
  25. sneakypower
    Sure I can. Not an exact match here, but assuming Turner winds up the top bat in the draft, are you taking him or Rodon, if both are there? I'd consider that a *really* tough call. I hate taking pitchers this high that much. unfortunately our divisional opponents have no qualms about it, and we'll have the fun task of dealing with Gerrit Cole, Michael Wacha, Jameson Taillon, Homer Bailey, Shelby Miller, Robert Stephenson, etc. for a very long time
