    While that may end up happening, Curran's report that the Tweet/graphic is based on was him speculating after the Germany game. He made it very clear during his original info on this that he thought that was what was happening, not that he was told it is happening.

    Correct decision. I have a really hard time seeing a team carry him on a MLB roster all year.

    Heard from relatives of theirs this morning that folks are okay. Most of it went down about two miles from their home, locked down, but okay

    I have numerous friends in the Lewiston-Auburn area....hoping to hear from them soon.

    All things he hasn't had since high school. At what point is it fair to suggest he's not capable of those things?

    A relief role has been the obvious projection for Flores for 2+ years. This shouldn't be surprising at all.

    It all boils down to how his patience and strike zone knowledge translates when pitchers are throwing more strikes than he's ever seen, and better quality strikes at that. Does the strikeout rate spike and power dip because he's still trying to wait out pitchers, or did he adjust and swing more at pitches he can drive?

    Nope, fake to Montgomery, 32 yards to Raymond.

    No, Keith is a real prospect. He's not a world beater, but he's a good player that will have a 7-8 year career

    Also, let's be clear, anybody that thought they got a "real" prospect for Joe Jimenez....was, wait for the word, delusional.
  11. microline133
    When they don't discuss an actual position in the answer, that's code for he has absolutely no position.

    I once wrote that Billy Nowlin was allergic to leather. He was terrible defensively, at any position.
  13. microline133
    Acceptable? Yes. Average? Doubtful.

    Malloy hasn't shown any ability to capably use any glove at this point. He's a DH.

    The problem is his stuff had been that volatile since he was on the prospect radar. You could see home one start in HS and he'd be electric and the next he was completely ordinary.
  16. microline133
    Just to be clear....that was the knock on him since high school! Soft as baby poo.
  17. microline133
    This is correct.
  18. microline133
    Almost like it was a done deal way before this....

    Barring a completely catastrophic turn of events (think major medical flags or the kid just straight walking away), this deal gets done. They knew exactly what he wanted before they picked him and don't make the selection that high without it being a 99% certainty. Once they drafted McGonigle, their math and draft decisions included his number.
  20. microline133
    Correct. GMs don't make the picks. They may influence strategy, budget approach, etc., but the scouting team is empowered to make the selections.
  21. microline133
    High round picks there is very little doubt what the number/terms are. Lower round picks there can be some uncertainty, but they always have a good idea even on the low round guys. That's where your area scouts make their money....building the relationship with the player/family, and knowing what it will take to sign them.
  22. microline133
    The Tigers knew exactly the amount needed to sign him, the minute they picked him.
  23. microline133
    I've been consistently getting 8-9, but the last couple are a struggle at times.
  24. microline133
    I was pretty proud of my Lloyd Moseby pick for the Blue Jay/Tiger.
  25. microline133
    If you're just looking at stats, I'd suggest you don't get any type of real read until Double-A.
