there was a post about how CC Sabathia's contract extension broke down almost exactly like that (with projected regression and all that good stuff) . I don't suppose you could get a major league GM...

to be fair a lot of teams use the "~4.5 million per win" formula in evaluating contracts

2010 Liriano was a #3? that's even higher standards than Matt Cain as a 2

But no one thinks he can. So make him an 80 center fielder and let him move up the minors rather than wasting his development.

I don't get why they don't just throw Hamilton in center field.

especially in that league

haha gotcha. (i know what a guerrilla is, just didn't get the pun)

Probably, but I doubt that says anything about how good of a player he is. I'm sure there are a lot of players of the Albert Pujols ilk who would be happy with a walk and players like Jeff Francoeur...

God I hope so.

I doubt it.

Also I'm not saying pressure doesn't exist or whatever. But I am saying that if a player is that affected by pressure, especially after being in hundreds of pressure situations in high...

That's the only source I've seen say Goodrum is a SS in the future. (also not to be that guy but it's gorilla unless there is some inside joke I am unaware of).

As for Michael I agree they should...

If a player is THAT affected by pressure to where you change your mechanics and stuff he wouldn't be in the major leagues. It's total nonsense to give that kind of thinking any credibility

That's all well and good, but this isn't little league or high school baseball or whatever

I would assume he would get more

as a Wild hater I totally hope they sign Parise to a huge deal and mess up their cap

Pretty much everything I've read/heard is that Goodrum is OF bound and Michael is a second baseman.

Plus most people who can't respond to a high pressure situation are weeded out far before they make the major leagues.

I hate the Braves so as long as we totally fleece them I'm good with whatever. But no thanks on Gilmartin.

laughing ridiculously hard at winning mindset

I'm sure just a disagreement. MLB.com had him ranked 4th I think.

Well there aren't many full time DHes (including Mauer) so that's a pretty stupid argument. Using OPS is stupid too.

You would think this point would be easy enough to understand

let's just frame this post and say argument over. Well done.

They don't get draft picks anymore. Just a supplemental one.

I wouldn't trust low A stats as far as I can throw them. And since you can't throw numbers as far as I know that should tell you how trustworthy low A stats are.
