    Callis had us an easy No. 1 overall in like 2002 or 2003.

    Jason Parks ‏@ProfessorParks 6m Thanks to the Buxton/Sano eruptions, the off-season trades, and a good draft, the #Twins might have the top farm system in the game. Josh Ohnemus ‏@ohnemusj 3m @ProfessorParks #Cubs have to be top 5 don't they? Jason Parks ‏@ProfessorParks 2m Yes. Cardinals still very strong as well, despite losing talent to ML level. RT @ohnemusj @ProfessorParks #Cubs have to be top 5 don't they? Jason Parks ‏@ProfessorParks 4m Twins, Cubs, Cards, Padres, Astros. RT @ohnemusj @ProfessorParks So is that your take on the top 3? Twins then Cubs, Cards in any order?

    Well, never mind then. :yahoo: I'll tell Theo not to worry about it.

    But in a completely hypothetical sense, if I had a chance to trade two guys from the back of the top 20 for someone in the top 2, I'm doing it almost every time. I'll get burned sometimes, but I'm pretty sure in the long run it's +EV.

    It's early in all their careers. And it's irrelevant, because it's never actually going to really happen.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Nothing is ever guaranteed. In 1997, 89 and 91 for 2 would have been Glendon Rusch and Brad Rigby for Vladimir Guerrero.

    Everyone's a quantity piece compared to someone. It's a zen thing.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'd give him and Almora for Buxton. Holy hyperbole. Kyle, you wouldn't actually do that, right? I absolutely would. If Buxton isn't the best prospect in baseball right now, he will be this time next year for sure. Anytime you can take a step up in quality for some quantity, you do it.

    BB rate up to 5.4%, K-rate down to 23.1%. K:BB from ungodly 7+ down to 4.3.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    I dunno. Buxton's pretty good at baseball.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Take it to the 2030 draft thread. Or 2031?
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'd give him and Almora for Buxton.

    this is known as "going full kyle" Especially if you take out the next paragraph, which answers the rhetorical question with "Not very much, given all the other things they've gotten right."
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    I can't believe after having the day he did and then having a day off, he was patient at all his first at bat. On base in his last 7 ABs Isn't it 3 BBs and 4 HRs? Whatever TF he wants.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    I was being serious. Theo broke him. They are trying to teach him to be more patient and drive pitches from hitter's counts, and it's got him in this horrible chasm where he takes hittable pitches early in the count, flails at pitches with two strikes and overswings at everything. Maybe this is the just the lull before it all clicks together and he superstars again, or maybe they'll just give up and he can go back to the old approach.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Buxton who?
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Theo broke him.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    You can have some, but David is the only one who will let you eat it.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    Didn't they just trade for a guy? Apparently won't be here until Friday.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Nobody eats half a cake. If you're the kind of diabeetus-in-training that eats half a cake, you're finishing it off.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    You can either possess your cake or you can consume the cake, but after you consume it you no longer possess it.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    He throws really hard and is really awful at pitching. Might as well start the transition to tank mode.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Glad I wrote the top pitching prospects we get for Garza into the 2014 lineup in pencil.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    (Not) fun with (extremely distant) arbitrary endpoints: Since the beginning of the 2012 seasons, Castro has 960 plate appearances. For that sample, he's averaging fractionally less than 2 fWAR per full season, is hitting 272/311/405, and is a negative defender and baserunner according to Fangraphs.
