I truly hope they don't sell low on Zach Deloach. I do think that his purpose in the system may be as trade bait, but now that he's in AA, if he rakes for the next six weeks, he'll be a top 50 prospect on most lists in the offseason, which gives him A LOT more value. And for you Kelenic haters, here...

Kelenic and Sheffield for Frazier?

Not a chance on Kelenic. But maybe Sheffield + a prospect. Maybe Moore, depending if Pittsburgh wants to take a flier on upside. I like Moore though, despite his low BA.

I think Guardians is a good name. I don't think "Indians" was ever meant to offend, and it's certainly not as bad as Redskins, but it just doesn't fit anymore with the current times where people recognize that "Indian" should refer to someone from India rather than indigenous natives of North or Sou...

Muscle boy ranked below Raleigh? WTF? You really expect the 12th pick in the draft that is a HS player to be ranked in the top 100? All things being =, yes. If he signs, and performs well he should be in the updates. Not immediately though. Right now these prospect people are trying to place the ne...

I don't think DiPoto will make any major trades before the deadline. I think he's holding on to his bullets, hopefully for next season.

Versatility is the last thing I care about from the DH. I don't need the weak left fielder or backup catcher to keep his .700 OPS bat in the lineup when he needs a night off. I need the .900 OPS from the guy that can actually hit, that's it. Literally the only reason the spot is there, to hit. Vers...

Um. really? You'd rather they trot out a player who slots into the lineup at #8 as DH? :roll: :roll: :roll: No, but I think DiPoto and SS have a particular view that the DH slot should not be occupied by a positionally limited player. Torrens is ideal for them because he can catch and play first ba...

I would give it a bit more time to establish a pattern of having him sit against lefties. I think Murphy, technically, is still the starter at that position. But I hear what you're saying.

Pache has never been the prospect that Julio has. Yup. And it's not even particularly close. That said, it doesn't really matter. It's just that Julio is our guy, otherwise we wouldn't care. It's funny how this prospect stuff has really become a thing in recent years. I started paying attention to ...

M's won't sign him this offseason. A one-dimensional, dedicated DH doesn't fit their approach.
