As long as they stop taking college relievers with questionable deliveries in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, I'll be happy.

I remember Nick taking me to task for saying Gomez's upside was Devo White at the time of the Santana trade, but in hindsight that's the player he's become. IMO, the biggest problem with the trade...

I don't think there's much doubt from his minor league line that Hicks is going to strike out some this year. His minor league peripherals and numbers scream more Mike Cameron or Chris Young than...

<----shakes Magic 8 Ball. Answer is cloudy. Ask again later.

IMO, people talk about his power breakout last year, but he hit for the same pop in Beloit in 2011. The difference last year was a 40...

This blog is the closest thing to Trolpo that I've seen here, and that makes me happy.

I don't think it necessarily depends on which pitch he's struggling to throw either. If his slider isn't working, odds are hitters will be sitting on a fastball. So to compensate, the pitcher will...

I'd note that it's also harder for a guy who depends on his slider like Gibson to bounce back from TJ surgery than a guy who's all fastball like Pelfrey. It's not uncommon for a pitcher to come back...

It wouldn't surprise me if Pelfrey bounced back to 2010 form this year. Granted, the 2010 version of Pelfrey wasn't very good at throwing any pitch besides a fastball, so the time it will take to get...

I feel like you need to watch this for sensitivity training, Legs.

He just brings different flaws to the equation than Dozier, Carroll or Florimon. We know Dozier and Carroll don't have the defensive tools to be anything more than a stopgap at shortstop. We know...

IMO, it's less the number arms that scares me and more the number of players on the top ten list who haven't hit New Britain yet. There's a lot of upside in the system, but we're probably two years...

Aaah, Xerox Houston Jimenez. You're just a copy of every other Houston Jimenez I've ever booed.

You could shave 100 runs allowed off last year's staff and still have a mediocre team. And the amount of attendance you get if you're in third place isn't really that much greater than what you get...

Like I said, Worley, Meyer and May are a start in the right direction. I just don't buy that shooting for 76 wins instead of 73 is going to have that big an affect on attendance one way or the other....

Right but let's be honest. Even with the aggressive approach to rebuilding a rotation, Kansas City is still behind the Tigers and White Sox in terms of pitching. What the Twins needed to do wasn't...

IMO, there are probably a half-dozen guys you could make a case for being the #2 prospect in the system (behind Sano), and Meyer is one of them. So I don't really have a problem with anyone placing...

They did about five years ago, but sadly it only works with Carlos Silva.

IMO, the biggest problem most people have with with prospects and young players is the tendency to overbuild hope when things are going well, and abandon ship too quickly when the stats go south.

Looks like another first round pick that won't work out for the Twins.

I'd call it more another example of when you have a virtually unhittable robot fronting your rotation, you tend to make your own luck come playoff time.

The problem is virtually unhittable robots...

Ponder has his limitations. He's never going to have that John Elway arm. But you can build around his flaws. Brad Johnson won a Super Bowl and look at how Alex Smith has evolved in San Francisco...

Baseball Stars wasn't necessarily better than RBI Baseball. Just more evolved. Most of its innovations came from RBI Baseball (defensive play, the different sound on a ball hit immediately after...

Should I drink a Brewery Vivant Zaison while watching football?

When you don't have something you really need, it becomes a very easy and rhetorical question.
