    Actually if you pro rate his per game strikeout numbers in college (.87) over 150 games that would equate to 130 K's. With minor league pitching being better than college pitching from an overall perspective, I think it was completely reasonably to expect 150 K's+ at any level above college and I think many here expected lots of whiffs.

    I have a fair amount of confidence in Nick G. Dude was one of the better players on the team for much of the second half and didn't suck at any point when he got consistent playing time. Sure, he can't hit lefties but he's improved a great deal over the last few years.

    Julien doesn't profile as anywhere near the hitter Arraez is, so I don't see that being much of a comparison. Their OBP should be pretty similar though!

    Na... Dyson was a proven mlb reliever at that point in time.

    Ok, but GMs don't assess trades as you had laid it out, which is why such a deal wouldn't have and didn't happen.
  26. Devilsadvocate
    He's just a few years into his career... How can you say that he's "obviously in decline"?
  27. Devilsadvocate
    He's actually thrown pretty well this spring. Only 3 walks in 12 IP. ST stats don't mean everything, but his WHIP is also less than 1.
  28. Devilsadvocate
    If you think the Padres would give up a big time prospect like Gore for a year of control (at over 7 mil, I believe), I think you're mistaken.
  29. Devilsadvocate
    I'm thinking you're crazy... Gore straight up for Rogers may not even meet the Padres asking price. He was and still is a heck of a prospect.
  30. Devilsadvocate
    I'm with you there, I don't think that Lewis is quite up there with Buxton, especially coming back from the ACL tear.
  31. Devilsadvocate
    Byron's speed and acceleration are at/near the top of the scale in the majors, so I don't really think that these guys would rank up there with him, myself.
  32. Devilsadvocate
    Yes, I've likely seen Eddie play just as many games as you have and understand his deficiencies as a hitter. I do agree with on one thing though - You're definitely entitled to you own opinion.
  33. Devilsadvocate
    Eddie Rosario definitely did not have/does not have a 70 hit tool. I would venture to say that the highest he was rated in hit tool was 60, by any respectable publication.
  34. Devilsadvocate
    70-80 ratings are reserved for prospects with an ELITE tool. One season of hitting .340 when you've consistently hit around .270 doesn't deserve an elite hit tool rating. Think Mark McGuire power, or Aroldis Chapman velocity. ELITE.
  35. Devilsadvocate
    Only one problem - Chris Williams isn't a defense first catcher.
