    I can't help but think he's as uncomfortable wearing contacts as I was. I loved having them (aka no glasses), but couldn't stick with them after years of blinking like Cody Ransom far too frequently.

    I am surprised to hear Segura has a low floor. The other two do seem to have low floors. The ceilings of all 3 is really exciting Keith Law is kind of a dope, though
  3. TooLiveBrew
    Same here. To come back after being out of MLB as long as he was, and look like you haven't missed a day... just, wow.

    Misguided? Ha! He proposes the Brewers trade for a Zack Greinke every year and resign the Zack Greinke to a long-term deal. Trade for and sign a superstar every year, win the World Series every year. Misguided? He's living in a fantasy world. I was trying to keep it.. respectful. Anyone who demands Paul freakin' Konerko in a trade of Greinke this season... or you stand pat and take the draft pick... yeah. Not operating in reality.

    Congrats to Mark. Really looking forward to Sunday's game now.

    Signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2007 as a 17 year old, Segura hit the ground running in his full season debut in 2010 in Low-A Cedar Rapids. His follow up in the hitter friendly California League was cut short by hamstring issues, though he did show promise after moving from second to shortstop in his 52 game 2011 season. Generously listed at 5-foot-11, Segura has a small strike zone, which he commands well. Combined with his compact swing and excellent hand acceleration allow him to make good contact with just about anything in the zone. Segura also shows surprising power, though his approach is geared toward driving the ball into the gaps. Segura’s defensive tools are equally as impressive, as he combines good range and lateral agility with an above average arm. However, he can be frustrating at times as well, as he has shown the ability to range far to either side, set his feet, and then mishandle a ball that he is position to field cleanly. He is also an above average runner with good instincts on the bases who can thrive on a team with an aggressive baserunning philosophy, not unlike the one managed by Mike Scoscia in Anaheim. Though he didn’t get a lot of time in at Inland Empire in 2011, Segura is likely to climb to AA Arkansas in 2012. With Erick Aybar set to hit the free agent market after the season, Segura will be auditioning for the 2013 starting shortstop job, though he will have a lot of things to prove in order to earn it. That's Perfect Game's pre-2012 scouting report on Segura. They also had him at #2, behind Trout.

    Oh. Great. [/blue]

    Profar physically projects like Hanley Ramirez (or threabouts), except scouts love his defensive ability... zero doubt that he'll stick there and defend well. All with a higher offensive upside than Segura.
  9. TooLiveBrew
    Well, this certainly looks like a good return at first glance. Interesting that the Rangers wouldn't part with Olt. Now get Segura up to the bigs, and end the embarassment at SS.
  10. TooLiveBrew
    Yeah, let's settle for lower-upside guys -- it's not like Greinke's the prize of this trade market or anything, with a bit of a bidding war heating up
  11. TooLiveBrew
    PA, not sure you get enough credit for these IGT graphics. You do really good work with them.
  12. TooLiveBrew
    TH really can be impressively bad when it comes to trade rumors
  13. TooLiveBrew
    Time to go all-in!

    Hmm, I just noticed this in perusing Huntsville's media notes from Tuesday: Sorry I'd missed that he was leading the SL in my link reporting thus far. I'd caught that he's the leading basestealer in the Brewers organization, but not that he was tops in the SL, too. In any event, his season tally heading into tonight's game stands at 37 (37/51, 73%), which is still good for the SL lead. Hak-Ju Lee of the Montgomery Biscuits (TBR affiliate) is right on Prince's heels with 36 SBs (36/44, 82%), as is Tyler Saladino of the Birmingham Barons (CHW... 34/41, 83%). In completely-semi-unrelated news, Saladino might have the creepiest player pic in all of MiLB -- http://www.milb.com/images/players/mugshot/ph_573135.jpg

    Marcum's coming back? I missed anything about a timetable for his return
  16. TooLiveBrew
    Yeah -- it could mean that Melvin's been so unreasonable in his asking price for ZG (something he never seems to do) that he's scared off ATL & LAA. Or it could be posturing, like SRB noted. Or it could be that a deal with the Rangers is basically done, & teams like LAA & ATL are forced to look elsewhere. This is the kind of stuff us internet geeks live for, what with the living in the parents' basements & the acne. http://i.imgur.com/mcfcS.jpg

    I just noticed this from a MLBTR post last night: The Angels will have to look in-house for help when it comes to their starting rotation, writes Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com. A source with knowledge of the team's thinking described the Angels' chances of acquiring a starter as "below average and diminishing" as the asking prices are too high and the competition for pitching is intense. That's interesting to me, as that's the first mention I've seen of the Angels not being in on a big SP addition. Perhaps Melvin wasn't too intrigued by Segura... or maybe the Angels didn't want to make him available...? The same post leads with a link to the following tweet from Jerry Crasnick, who echoes some of the thoughts in this thread that it's been quiet lately -- a little... TOO... quiet: EDIT: In fact, thinking this over a little more... the Angels, all of a sudden & kinda late in the day yesterday, are now out of the bidding for a big SP addition. Rumors also going around that the Josh Johnson asking price may be 'too expensive'. And now radio silence from both TEX & MIL. The Rangers all along have seemed like the most likely destination for Greinke, and at this point I think all signs point to that coming true.

    I'm really looking forward to FIFA 13, sounds like they made a lot of requested changes to the manager/career modes. Hopefully the collisions in gameplay have been fixed somewhat, but I'm probably going to plunk down full price for it anyway.
  19. TooLiveBrew
    Yeah, thank you for sharing GormanHarvey (& X-TAI, as usual ). Great to get firsthand reports.
  20. TooLiveBrew
    Maybe I'm jaded by all the failed prospects in the past Ya think?
  21. TooLiveBrew
    I will defer to the excellent t-shirt... I before E except after C? That's weird
  22. TooLiveBrew
    Obligatory TLB linkage of Perfect Game pre-2012 Top 10 list for the A's There are some interesting sounding arms, even a littler further down the list.
  23. TooLiveBrew
    I'm hopeful that Wily will be the one to get the call to fill out the 25-man once ZG is traded. Really great to see him turn his season around & pitch like we all knew he was capable of doing.
  24. TooLiveBrew
    Palsmo. WOAH Heh. In all honesty, the way I've remembered how to spell his first name is that it ends with a "K", not h.
  25. TooLiveBrew
    Cole Hamels got $140M+ without even hitting the FA market. I think it's a decent guess that ZG will be looking at at least one offer around $150M this offseason.
