    Make that 9 and 5 out of 14...
  2. 1984Echoes
    8 SS's and 5 pitchers in the 1st 13 selections...
  3. 1984Echoes
    Pre-draft show on MLB tv at 5...

    If Holland turns himself INTO Herb Jones 2.0 then that is a HUGE plus for the Pistons...
  5. 1984Echoes
    Which is why I believe Harris targets players who are NOT huge swing and miss... To avoid those cold as Antartica streaks...
  6. 1984Echoes
    And Max Anderson.
  7. 1984Echoes
    This would be my belief as well.

    Question: What would it cost to get Aroldis Chapman? Second question: Harris finds a cost he is OK with in a trade for: Paul Skenes? Joe Ryan? Or Jacob DeGrom? And what is the cost?

    Plus if Jung or Anderson or Lee is moved for reliever help at the deadline Ibanez is the backup plan B. Errr... Plan J?
  10. 1984Echoes
    Well that would create some difficulty...
  11. 1984Echoes
    Or they could REALLY want to tank this year and run out Sasser and Fears as their PG's. Just a thought...
  12. 1984Echoes
    I don't know... Sasser is not worth much if Alvarado is a better PG (both defensive and play-making and assist-to-turnover ratio) and Chaz Lanier turns out to be a better SG/ 3-pt shooter... which I think he is. Or will be... Holland becomes superfluous with Herb Jones. So I think we're trading extra parts... IMO. The first rounder hopefully for the next several years will be in the 20's... so, hopefully, no lottery protection required. And 2nd rounders are "fungible". The biggest bet is on Alvarado being good enough as the backup PG. I don't think we could ask/get a backup big in the deal (sure, I would love to add Missi... and give them Paul Reed!!!) But I don't think that's happening. There might be some overpay in there... but I don't think it's huge.

    PS: I'll take a big swing at that... Detroit sends Ron Holland, Marcus Sasser, unprotected 1st and two 2nds to the Pelicans for: Pelicans send Jose Alvarado and Herb Jones to Detroit.
  14. 1984Echoes
    I would be all over trying to get Herb Jones. Add in Ron Holland to this trade package. Jones is the best version of what we could hope Holland turns into. And I'd take that bet on Jones' offensive potential... PS: Is NO interested in getting cap savings at all? Change your lottery-protected pick into NOT lottery-protected OR into three 2nds... They would be a definite YES on the 1st rounder + Holland? WE would prefer Holland + three 2nds... Does Holland + three 2nds get a yes from the Pelicans?

    I'm surprised this only has two laughs and not 25...

    That looks like 7 utility IF'ers between Lee, Jung, Cruz, Navigato, Kreidler, Workman and Ibanez. I'm assuming Anderson to Toledo would be the priority guy and get most of his starts at 2B (unless they want to try him also at 1B?) It still looks like a utility guy or two would need to go to Detroit, or Erie... or somewhere. Even with playing Workman and Kreidler in the OF quite a bit (I think Cruz also has been played quite a bit in the OF this year and last year IIRC...). What does everyone else think...?

    Montero (on ESPN under "Splits"): 1st time through order .699 OPS 2nd time through order .855 OPS 3rd time through order .910 OPS But I think his biggest problem is consistency... when he's having control problems or 1 of his 2 good pitches aren't working, he's terrible. When everything is working and he's hitting the strike zone... He pitches gems... Just an observation.
  18. 1984Echoes
    Specifically: From April 30th through today: .302 BA, .895 OPS, 7 HR's in 185 PA's. And 14 doubles and 2 triples. Not huge power. But enough.
  19. 1984Echoes
    Just a WAG... But I think Anderson would be called up to Toledo once one of Jung, Lee or Cruz gets called up to Detroit. Probably based on the call up being for at least a week as I don't see bouncing Anderson up and down from Erie to Toledo... And I don't know if "rest of season" comes into play for one of those three (and Anderson by extension) unless there's a season-ending injury... knock on wood. Toledo still has Ibanez/ Navigato/ Workman on the team - not priority prospects - so maybe the alternative path is to move Ibanez and Navigato somewhere so a timeshare (add in DH) will open up enough time for Anderson? If nothing else... per your suggestion... who wants to grab a 1B glove? And that could just as easily be Anderson as Jung or Lee. In fact, I'd choose Jung and Anderson for trying that...

    Not Soon Enough.

    He wants to talk only baseball... Jason started laughing about the VERY LOUD voice of the plate umpire right at the start of the game... Adam joked once about it but within 10 seconds said: "We actually have a baseball game going on here..." So I think he already knew Jason's reputation... and made a move to cut him off before Jason wandered off-(game)-topic too far... Adam wants to... talk baseball.
  22. 1984Echoes
    Actually... they're holding Fox mikes...
  23. 1984Echoes
    And I have Detroit's TV feed so Bennetti...
  24. 1984Echoes
    I've got Prime and this game is an MLB free game...
