I like Polanco, but how does a guy have five triples and no steals?

I'm about ready to kill OOgie, whatever the heck that is. Ebola > Joe Mays > OOgie.

I wonder if he's grown well past 5'10", or is he just Mexican Tall?

There's zero chance of Rosario skipping Ft. Myers.

I think Hicks will eventually be a 20 HR guy, so I see his ceiling as very close to Buxton's. Since he's so much closer to the bigs, he's easily ahead on my list.

That's a remarkable stat. Over the past 2 years, he gets plunked more often than MLBers draw walks (8.9% to 8.1%). I wonder how many other times the umps didn't give him his base.

Jorge Polanco from the IFA class of 2009 is very much a legitimate prospect as well.

No, because nobody expected a ton of talent in return.

There are two tradeoffs in the prospect package matrix. The first is proximity vs upside, the second is quantity vs quality. Ryan failed...

The Twins weren't going to get much for Liriano. That's a given.

What I don't like about this deal is it shows that Ryan is looking for players who could possibly help next year over higher upside...

Max Kepler has apparently found his power stroke. 6 HR is his last 10 games. Yeah, it's E-town...but he also has a 20/17 BB/SO this year.

.286/.412/.540/.951 on the season,...

Only 4 roster spots left and the Wolves are pure!

Ten others recorded all of their outs by strikeout in their debuts. Among them is the immortal Gary Wayne, the only other Twin on the list. He went K BB BB K BB BB K vs. the Orioles on 4-7-1989.

Per Baseball Reference it's happened 7 times previously, first by Gopher sports legend Paul Giel for the '54 Giants and most recently when Edwar Ramirez KKK'd the Twins on July 3rd, 2007.

I can...

That's how it's done, TD.

First attempt at posting failed (don't worry, Pig...user error). I will now try the "Post Quick Reply" button. Change sucks.
