The Farm is worthless until they either perform at the Big league level or are traded for proven Big leaguers. None of the top 10 drafted this decade have done that yet.

So what has Brandon Donovan done to make you confident that he wouldn-t struggle to hit at T-Mobile like 90% of veteran players that sign here?

Here's my pkg: Miller, Jurrangelo, Young Problem is we take Marte and salary then who takes Millers spot? They won’t h...

Presumably the K's are lower because he gets more grounders. He also doesn't walk that many batters and doesn't give up many homeruns. I like the skillset. Yes love the low walk rates. Usually control is big problem for guys that throw that hard. But the hit per 9 is bizarre. BABIP is pretty high f...

BP with additions: Cl. Munoz SU. Matt Brash LH. Speier, Ferrer RH. Buzzardo, Hancock, Vargas, Rogers My assumptions here would be that you are taking a guy that should be better than his traditional stats suggest who has good stuff and you are banking on a bit of a confidence boost by pitching in T...
