    Keep on sticking your head in the sand, there. wow that was kind of uncalled for probably should stick to soccer talk

    great BB:K rate and a doubles machine in the minors he's clearly grown into power, which is not terribly uncommon. some guys i can think of are Garrett Anderson, Holliday, Chris Duncan, Cano, Beltran, Hunter, Carlos Guillen and I'm sure hundreds of others as well. last 109 G (437 PA): 80 R, 24 HR, 66 RBI, 20 SB, 0.287/0.368/0.558 good for a full season pace (621 PA) of 114 R, 34 HR, 94 RBI, 28 SB i like McLouth a lot

    Reyes is by far the best player in the trade, and the rest of the players don't reconcile out to much. You'd make a mistake to accept it.

    The Twins got screwed in the deal simply by not getting the best prospect in the Mets organization. Seriously how do you even discuss the trade with the Mets with Fernando Martinez not being in the discussion. They didn't do bad, but would have been better off working something out with the Red Sox. while it's probably a bit short-sighted, it's easier to sell the fanbase on a trade if you have at least one of the players playing everyday at the pro level. i also think Gomez is the more valuable player long-term than Martinez.

    thats an encouraging outing for Petrick Harvey...is there such a thing as a 1-1/2 A player?
  6. sneakypower
    2 instead of 1, but whose counting? i guess i should be concerned your evaluations and predictions are always so spot on Thats only because Kosuke is a good baseball player where as Soriano is not.

    If Soto's foot doesn't catch Paulino's? If Soto's passed ball doesnt lead to a run? (I'm not trying to pick on Soto, I swear) If our best starter pitched like an ace? If our best reliever pitched like the shutdown pitcher he is? There are a lot of what ifs. It's really not a big deal. Teams lose games all the time. This particular loss we just happened to have multiple failures from our normally reliable players. then we might possibly have another notch in the win column and win the division by 9 games instead of 8 or whatever

    i dont know many 5 year olds strong enough to break wood bats over their knee

    oh nasty dont do it

    No, it's ok. They gave up the best pitcher on the planet and got Carlos Gomez. Did you know he hit for the cycle?!?!!?!!11!!11!!1!!!ONE! kind of early to make a judgment on this trade, most of the players havent even made the majors yet the Twins had zero leverage and probably made out with a really good haul considering. the other offers of Hughes and Melky or Lester, Masterson and Crisp certainly don't look any better. Santana was due for a 20m+/year extension and would only approve trades to a few teams. they could have done far worse.

    what's more impressive Bourn's 36/37 SB% the last two years in only 284 PA or He still has an everyday job with .522 OPS
  12. sneakypower
    articles in the TB newspapers at the time suggested the Rays were heavily considering taking Harvey #1 overall. Lou said he had never seen somebody put on such a power display in batting practice.

    It works for everyone, you can't just take a guys road splits and count them as his true value. what a novel concept! Old news to some of us... viewtopic.php?f=6&t=48174&p=1749774#p1749774 please stretch first and be extremely careful so you don't pull something trying so eagerly to pat yourself on the back i'm sorry i couldn't stomach reading nine pages of that bonerfest

    Ryan Dempster
  18. sneakypower
    1. we're winning 4-0 despite 7 LOB in 4 ABs 2. he'll have a very short stint at this rate
  19. sneakypower
    i keep imagining andy bernard's hands
  20. sneakypower
    yeah imagine if we had a 22-year old CF who hits .362 at AAA and plays fantastic defense
  21. sneakypower
    weren't we 20-13 in marq's starts last year?
  22. sneakypower
    i'll never defend Hendry again
  23. sneakypower
    McCracken, Tippett, Woolner, Studeman. now i dont completely agree with it, to tell you the truth. but there's also problems in the definition as well. thats more of an argument for a different topic.
  24. sneakypower
    well it's often argued that pitcher's have no control over their LD%
  25. sneakypower
    i agree, that is cause for concern. but i dont see the fiasco of allowing Hill to figure out his release point at AAA because i really am not worried about whether we'll take the division. Hill is a guy we will lean on the playoffs.
