  1. I keep forgetting Goforth is on the 40-man roster.
  2. Trea Turner. David Ortiz. Coco Crisp. Marco Scutaro. Gio Gonzalez. Edit: Domingo Santana. Ted Lilly. Jason Schmidt.
  3. You're right. I had Ray mentally lower in my head.
  4. Guessing Brinson and Ortiz are both in front of Ray.
  5. Ortiz is not on the DL, at least according to MiLB.com: http://www.milb.com/roster/index.jsp?sid=t540
  6. Pretty sure if my blood pressure were taken right now, I would be admitted to a hospital.
  7. To me, the Beltran deal makes it more likely they land Lucroy.
  8. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/08/indians-rangers-pursuing-carlos-beltran-trade-seen-as-likely.html
  9. Bickford is going to either Brevard or Biloxi. He's in advanced-A currently.
  10. Hot take: it's close between Hader and Bickford. I'd give the edge to Hader based on proximity to big leagues.
  11. Susac's arm is not great, unfortunately.
  12. MLB.com's scouting report on Bickford, who was their #67 prospect in baseball: Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 55 | Overall: 55 In both 2014 and 2015, the Giants spent their top choice on a pitcher who had turned down the Blue Jays as a first-rounder out of high school. Following in the footsteps of Tyler Beede, Bickford signed for $2,333,800 as the 18th overall pick last June. Selected 10th overall in 2013, he began his college career at Cal State Fullerton before starring in the Cape Cod League and transferring to the JC of Southern Nevada so he'd be eligible for the 2015 Draft. Bickford can hit 98 mph with a four-seam fastball and miss barrels with a low-90s two-seamer that features plenty of sink. His slider can be a plus pitch when his mechanics are in sync but also can get slurvy when he doesn't maintain his release point. San Francisco was pleased with the strides he made with his changeup during instructional league and would like to see him use it more often. The Giants envision Bickford as a starter, though some scouts think he's destined for the bullpen. He's a good athlete who usually fills the strike zone, but he sometimes lapses into overthrowing and has trouble maintaining his arm slot. His stuff is electric in short stints, so he's a potential closer if he can't make it in the rotation.
  13. Susac means Lucroy is most certainly gone. And HOLY CRAP.
  14. I'd take Chris Shaw. Or Bickford. Or both.
  15. Closed - please move discussion to MLB forum.
  16. Mejia was traded to the Twins for Nunez.
  17. The silence around Lucroy is a little stunning at this point. Hopefully it's a big deal and they are just sorting through everyone's medicals.
  18. Expletive-laden tirade from Alderson in 3...2...
  19. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/08/twins-trade-fernando-abad-red-sox.html Might take Will Smith off the table for Boston, if they were interested in the first place.
  20. 3 hours to go. Tick tock, Stearns.
