Gotta goa Ynoa

Ya Know . . Ah - I gotta go with Ynoa. After 3 years of pro ball he has a WHIP under 1.00 (just barely, but still under) and shows great control. He's one of those guys who could either crack the...

Maybe in 2008, not in 2013.

Unless, of course, Arizona extended him, which would be a distinct possibility. I would never risk giving up Wright to get Upton, let alone adding several other prospects to boot. Upton has not...

The language of the rule may be clear, but it appears to be contrary to its intent. I believe everyone would agree that the intent of the rule was to ensure that the ten worst teams in baseball would...

But he only had a few outings, 8 to be exact. And he had serious trouble in 3 of the 8:
4 H and 2 ER in 1 inning.
3 H and 2 BB resulting in 5 ER in 2/3 inning.
A hit and 6 BB in 4 innings, his...

I like deGrom. Coming back from TJ this year, he hit the ground running and hasn't stopped. He's got the arsenal to move through the system quickly and the makeup to succeed in the big leagues. We've...

Wow! That "Seedlings to Stars" write-up makes Familia's 12.1 inning debut last year, where he had a 5.84 ERA and 1.541 WHIP with 6.6 BB/9 and only 7.3 K/9, sound positively Kimbrelesque.

I have to go with Mateo here.

But I wonder, how does a guy with a 2.45 ERA, over 6 innings per start, a 0.900 WHIP, more than 10 K/9 and a shade over 1.0 BB/9 have a losing record (4-5) in the...

Maron is still young, and as his frame fills out he should develop some more power, but he'll never be a slugger. His ability to hit for average and to take a walk could make him a better than...

Of those you mention, Lyon would definitely be worth a shot if the price is right. I'm a big Braden advocate, but he won't be ready to pitch until mid-season. I would still sign him with an option...

Are you discounting Cam Maron because of his defense? Do you see any role for him down the road. The kid can hit. High OBP.

I'm a Montero Man. The kid really has what it takes and has shown it with his performance to date. Sub 1.00 WHIP, he throws strikes and misses bats. Nimmo may have a high ceiling, but he hasn't yet...

Funny to hear an ablation described as "facing the knife". Actually, they insert a wire into a vein in your leg, thread it up to your heart, and then zap (burn) the little spot on your heart that is...

5 years . . 3 years . . even 1 year, I wouldn't sign Bourn at the expense of the #11 pick.

Now, if Sandy could work a deal with, say Cleveland, who has already lost their first round pick by...

Since this is THE POSITIVE THREAD . . .

I am positive that the Mets will add at least one quality outfielder to the lineup, one quality starter to the rotation, and one quality reiever to the...

Finding Dickey was 1 in a million.

But we picked up Mike Baxter and Justin Turner off the scrap heap, and both have turned out to be quality reserves. Neither had the potential that Brown seems...

Hey, nobody likes losing. But you have to be philosophical after years of seeing your team win some and lose some. Mets, Giants, Knicks and Rangers have all had their droughts, and the world doesn't...

I don't think any trade is easy. I'd go after Pollock or Parra since the D-Backs have more outfielders than they can use now that they have signed Ross. They're pretty well stocked at the major...

Guys, The D-Backs just recently traded Trevor Bauer, one of the top pitching prospects in MLB (ranked higher than Wheeler) in a 3 team deal, where the key player they got back was Didi Gregorius, a...

I've been very focused on Eaton as a trade target, but I have come to the realization that since the D-Backs have designated him their starting CF for 2013, it is very unlikely that Towers will move...

I'm pretty sure you won't get Hairston for 2/$5M, and I don't think we're going to pursue Alvarez, since I think 6Y/$24M is way low after what Chapman, Cespedes and Puig got, not to mention Soler's 9...

I always have a hard time assessing apples against oranges . . er . . I mean position players against pitchers.

That said, I had to go with d'Arnaud as top prospect. I just feel he will make an...

Ask him after the Bourn announcement. lol

At this point Kirk is destined to platoon with Cowgill, at least until he proves he can handle lefties. Meanwhile, together they should make one very effective center fielder.

If Kirk can learn to...
