Baird:
00-Mike Stodolka
01-Colt Griffin
02-Greinke
03- Chris Lubanski
04-Mitch Meier
05-Butler
06-Gordon

Things could change, but right now Baird kicked his ass in the draft and I think the ones Baird missed on were "signability picks" and that's a problem DM was never hampered with.

Absolutely. As of today our 4 best regulars are all from Baird and our entire 5-man rotation is mercenaries from other teams. Not ONE home grown starter in the rotation.


For a man about to begin year 8 of his term as GM, this guy has been a complete waste of our time. Sal Perez, a 1HR catcher, is his prize pupil? :shake:

Prospects fail all the time. Best rate I've seen is that 25 percent become what they're supposed to/can be, 50 percent fail, and 25 percent are solid but less than what they're supposed to be.

Of that list, I'd say 6 are what they're supposed to be (Harper, Trout, Miller, Machado, Sale and Matt Moore). I'd say 5 are solid but less (Hellickson, Chapman, Pineda, Freeman, Teheran). And the rest fall somewhere in the bust/could be bust category (Montero, Brown, Hosmer, Moustakas, Ackley, Lamb, Montgomery) or are still in the minors and TBD, with no MLB service time (Myers, Taillon).

Hosmer and Moustakas still have time to write their name onto any of those lists.

I think Lamb, Ackley and Pineda are probably the only ones who are locked into their current category.

His name has changed to Mickey Mouse for me. Maybe I might call him Moose again if he actually.......hits the ball where no fielders are?

Two of those five turned into James Shields.

None of them are contributing. (You can say Myers is as trade bait but if he were still here, he'd be down in Omaha anyway)



Here's the top-20. Look at the Royals. Look at practically everyone else. And tell me we're not the problem. I dare you to. You can't say the authors screwed this up because the other names aren't pathetic losers:

2011 TOP 100 PROSPECTS
1. Bryce Harper, of, Nationals
2. Mike Trout, of, Angels
3. Jesus Montero, c, Yankees
4. Domonic Brown, of, Phillies
5. Julio Teheran, rhp, Braves
6. Jeremy Hellickson, rhp, Rays
7. Aroldis Chapman, lhp, Reds
8. Eric Hosmer, 1b, Royals
9. Mike Moustakas, 3b, Royals
10. Wil Myers, of/c, Royals
11. Jameson Taillon, rhp, Pirates
12. Dustin Ackley, 2b, Mariners
13. Shelby Miller, rhp, Cardinals
14. Manny Machado, ss, Orioles
15. Matt Moore, lhp, Rays
16. Michael Pineda, rhp, Mariners
17. Freddie Freeman, 1b, Braves
18. John Lamb, lhp, Royals
19. Mike Montgomery, lhp, Royals
20. Chris Sale, lhp, White Sox
JFC LMAO

That's hilarious.

Can we trade 8, 9 and 10 for 13, 14 and 15? K THANKS

Two of those five and two other guys turned into 2 years of James Shields and Wade ****ing Davis.

Hootie 05-21-2013 02:51 PM
can I have 6 years of Shelby Miller, Matt Moore and Manny Machado instead?

This.

Shields will want out of here so bad when his time is up. He'll probably get 10 losses this year just on lack of run support.

When he goes FA, he'll cost three times what the Royals will be willing to pay. That's why Tampa Bay dealt him off. They play small ball better than we do.

Hootie 05-21-2013 02:56 PM
Oakland is pretty damn good. I wonder if they can get over the hump this year and actually win a playoff series...

but that team is built well

Billy Beane is pretty good.

What's really frustrating is that the Royals are one Alex Gordon walkoff HR in a meaningless September game away from getting Manny Machado instead of Colon and they were interested in Miller but convinced he was going to aTm (thus the Crow pick).

You're assuming the Royals Farm system wouldn't ruin those players.

I’m not looking to ‘choke and poke’ up there with two strikes. I’m looking for a ball to drive still. You always hear ‘choke and poke’ with two strikes, but as a middle of the order guy, one of the guys that drives in runs, you’re not really looking to just slap the ball around, just put it in play…If I have a runner on base with two strikes, I’m looking to drive the ball, even with two strikes. I’m looking to put the ball in play hard somewhere to drive the run in.

This is hte type of shit our farm teaches.

Anyone hear the Ned Yost interview on 610? I missed it.

Wow, I must watch entirely different games from you then if you believe this. First, I agree with Myers 110%: when you're a power hitter you crush the ball. Period. You don't see ARod or Pujols or Dunn choking up on the bat and trying to soft-serve a little pillowbiter bloop into left-center like Hosmer does.


That's how gay dudes hit. Sorry, but strikeouts are fine. Being a pussy at the plate isn't, not for a power position. Strikeouts don't mean much if you're able to drive the ball hard in your other ABs. What good is a singles-hitting, contact, no-power 1B in the AL? Again: why is Hosmer=Ross Gload?
