Just watching him hit, I've wondered about his bat speed. That's just naked eye on my part though. Do you think it was better in June than July or was he just lucky in June. I honestly think that slumps happen because guys are feeling so good during hot streaks they think they can hit anything and ...

Never said I would. Just curious as to what he's worth.

He'd be worth a lot. Think #3 starter controllable and cheap for the next two years with no significant injury history. More of an offseason play though IMO.

I wonder what type of package the M's could get for Haniger AND Flexen right about now.

Why would you trade Flexen? The guy is about as solid as you want and super cheap for the next two years.

Teams should definitely provide housing, especially in the lower minors. I think the Astros are planning to do this, but no other teams that I've heard of.

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.
