    I think that's indisputable.

    Thank you, Minigoon!

    I looked and Figaro used 2 options while with the Tigers before being released. I'm not sure if his 1 remaining option carries over, or how that works. I think he can be outrighted to the minors once too without the right to refusal, so that would be an option if he doesn't have options. Fwiw, they're option seasons, not one-&-done options. If he has an option season remaining, he can be sent up & down more than just once.

    That Burke shot was the single best shot I've ever seen in an NCAA tourney game, when you factor in all the details. Unbelievable.
  5. TooLiveBrew
    That's awesome.
  6. TooLiveBrew
    That sucks. I liked what I saw of Stinson's stuff, and think he could've been useful as a reliever.

    While Miami played poorly, I think they were very overrated. Talent wise, I thought MU was the better team, so it wasn't shocking to see them win. I'm ecstatic to see them play so well in their transition year and I hope the people who thought I was crazy to suggest that they could be a #1 or #2 seed next year now see what I'm talking about. Buzz is building a fantastic program. Not crazy at all. That incoming recruiting class is drool-worthy.

    Thank you, Jim. I'm really saddened to see that no one else has been willing/able to step up. Great idea on shuffling teams each month.

    No kidding! It seems like each time I check back in on the MiLB forum, there's another player worth watching that gets assigned to the T-Rats. Plus, the new addition/club level at Fox Cities Stadium alone is probably worth checking out. My first game this season is definitely going to be in the club level. It's looking pretty sweet. The T-Rats are such an awesome occurrence. It's not just the affiliation. The people involved in running the club are all just genuinely good people, and it shows in the product. Rob Zerjav has been such a brilliant choice to head that ship -- great guy.

    Wow, that sounds like a great find & deal.
  11. TooLiveBrew
    I'd guess that most of his starts will be at 1B. That is a bit of a problem, as he bats from the same side as the currently-designated fill-in starter... although I can admit their slash lines look pretty similar. All in all, Roenicke & Melvin have done about an F-grade-caliber job of finding cover at 1B for Corey's absence. Yuni will mostly be used as the top RH pinch-hitter, and I'm fine with that because most of his AB's will be against LHP. If this is true, it'll come at the expense of the actual best RHB PH option in Khris Davis. I will most definitely not be fine with that.
  12. TooLiveBrew
    Hah. I only bothered counting the position players since RR has talked so much about going with 13 pitchers. Thank you for correcting me.
  13. TooLiveBrew
    It appears all finalized now. Pictures/profiles are fixed, but still stuck on 24 guys. Only surprise-ish things are that it looks like Kintzler won that last bullpen spot, both Krush Davis & Logan Schafer made it, and that Jim is apparently henceforth to be called Jimmy Henderson.
  14. TooLiveBrew
    Nice! Now if Coulter gets assigned there as well... Yeah, it's (again) looking good to follow the T-Rats. We're also so lucky to have Chris Mehring providing MLB-caliber coverage of them.
  15. TooLiveBrew
    So true. Owned them the entire game. Great win!
  16. TooLiveBrew
    They looked great except for the rebounding. Aside from that, they completely dominated Miami in the first half. Keep it up MU!
  17. TooLiveBrew
    I can't figure out exactly how I think he'll turn out. My gut instinct is to agree with trwi7, and say that he'll wind up having to learn as many of 3B/SS/OF as he can to get on the field more as a utility player. But the kid undeniably has the hit tool, which I think you could argue is the single most important tool for any position player. If he can continue to fill out his frame* & develop more power, I could easily see his BB rate rising as he progresses. If that happens, all of a sudden he'd be a very legit candidate to start at 2B in the bigs. * This is the entire ball of wax for me with Gennett. He's just such a small & slight dude, but he has clearly added some bulk imo, so it's not like he can't continue to do so.

    Lawrie & the package sent for Greinke could well have been used to acquire younger pitchers, and there's simply no way to know whether or not that theoretical team would've made or missed the postseason. I'd agree that there's reason to justify those reservations, but what I don't get is people pointing to that trade as a symptom of or reason for the Brewers' allegedly poor farm system (not that you were one making that point here). . . . Lawrie's entering his 3rd (2nd full) big league season. That's well past being a prospect and a minor leaguer. Well, except that he's only entering his age-23 season (younger than Hunter Morris, for example). Obviously he's not a minor-leaguer anymore, but given that injuries have interrupted his playing time thus far he's more of a still-prospect to me than someone who'd had full-time playing time for even just one full season. One of the main reasons Lawrie was traded is that he was reportedly vocally unhappy with how slowly he felt the Brewers were taking him up the organizational ladder. If he'd stayed a Brewer, I think he would've seen the bigs first in 2012, and probably closer to the middle of the season in order to keep him for another year of service time.

    A player only accrues MLB service time when he's up in MLB. So they could send Peralta down midseason & save on service time. As you noted, that's what they did with JJ Hardy. It wasn't a ruling, it's just a simple matter of service time/days. EDIT: didn't mean for that last sentence to be condescending... just meant the matter is actually very simple in that service time is the only factor that matters.

    Not an assignment tweet, but interesting nonetheless from Cody Scarpetta:
  21. TooLiveBrew
    Man, this T-Rats roster could be pretty exciting to open the season. I have to guess Roache will start in Appleton as well, although if he gets bumped right to BC that'd be exciting in & of itself. A potential outfield of Roache/Taylor/Haniger would be great to watch. EDIT: Also hoping to see Chris McFarland & Adam Giacalone in the infield

    Craig Counsell did video scouting work on Aoki before the Brewers flew him to AZ. (Source: tv broadcasts from last season)
  23. TooLiveBrew
    I think that probably gets called a penalty 8 out of 10 times or more. I don't disagree though that, upon review, the ref looked to get this one right. And damn -- this Mexican team can sure hit the deck & roll around in agony.

    I really have to give SoA a try. From everything I've read, I know I'd love it. FX in general has some really good programming.
