It's hard to significantly under-rate Mike Trout, but you've done it with ease. He's not 5% better than the next best player. He's WAY more than...
Disagree that can't miss types are unlikely to accept those offers. Everyone has a number. Springer turned down a 7/$23m contract before his...
They stopped offering those contracts to prospects that were not deserving of them. Guys like Matt Dominguez and Robbie Grossman got those offers,...
Nice rehash article but not much news. I don't think its actually a question of whether they're pursuing a top starting pitcher. The question is...
Hopefully that teaches a lesson about prospects. That deal was nearly universally praised for the Astros return and not one of those prospects...
If that's the package for Sale, i want them putting Abreu in and sending money back. Because that's a godfather offer the likes of which i haven't...
Agreed. There's been lots of reports saying that his stuff has played up in short stints but as a starter expected to go 6-7 IP he'd be sitting...
Not good enough to be a starting LFer and too expensive to be a backup for most teams.
This glut you're describing isn't a thing. The only blue chip prospect in that bunch is Tucker and he's got probably > 1.5 seasons of minor league...
I get the considerable distaste for Fiers after last season, but those last two lines are ridiculous. Fiers is the obvious spot-starter if he...
Conceptually I get your point, but my guess is that teams that expect to make the post-season are more stable at the top than we are. -Certainly...
I look at that list and think "if we packaged McHugh, Musgrove, Martes and another B-level prospect together what kind of guy can we get?" That's...
Man I don't see anyway the currently constructed pitching staff is capable of being a top 5 staff. There's way too much volatility/inconsistency...
While it's certainly good to hear they're going to be aggressive now, there's definitely the part of me bitter that they needed that wakeup step...
Wishful thinking at best. There's no precedent or data on a below-average A ball hitter being called up, much less being called up and being...
I don't think you understand how bad his bat would play at the ML level now. He's never hit above .261 since high school. He hit .208 in a limited...
I could see 5/$125m but no one outside Kershaw and Trout is worth $30mil per year.
If you paint anything in such broad strokes then you can make your logic fit. If pro-Obama people wanted to say that their goal was the lowest...
The supply is low for a reason. The primary reason is not some big AMA conspiracy, it's money like everything else. The number of seats in med...
Huh, according to wikipedia Mike Trout has never won that award. It's funny that he's unquestionably the best position player of the era and...
