Those are 2 really good relievers though and both locked up for a good long time. |

Chapman did, but they Cubs were desperate. I guess the Indians are too, but you have to wonder if this helps them get past the big three in the AL.
I'm surprised they did this, but I guess the argument could be made they're going to make the playoffs because of this terrible division, so at least give yourself a shot. Maybe they can get in a short series where you don't need as many relievers and use Miller and Hand to try and shut the other guys down. |

Is JJ Cooper pretty well respected? I read on another forum that he was on the radio talking about our farm system. He apparently said the track record of prospects in A ball that strikeout as much as Seuly Matias is not good. He also had a pretty negative view overall on our system.

He is. BA is much more conservative with younger, high upside prospects, so Cooper’s comments are not surprising. Matias will be interesting. His K rate portends flameout, but his power production portends great success. Teenagers who hit 20 HR at full season ball, let alone the 30+ Matias is likely to reach, have a great success rate.

So if you buy into prospect rankings does this mean we are going to have San Diego/White Sox world series coming soon?

Who, at age 19 in the SAL and NY Penn Leagues, hit .258/.306/.532 with 22 HR. Great comparison. He also struck out 35 percent of the time. Matias needs to work on his K rates, but there’s plenty to be excited about, and the raw power is undeniably a weapon.

Has anyone laughed at the Twinks dynamic duo of Buzton & Sano dropping the biggest fart-bomb in the history of the BA prospect rankings????
2011: Hosmer (8th), Moose (9th) 2015: Buxton (2nd), Sano (11th) Year 4 our guys went to WS. Year 5 won WS Year 4 for Twinks = losing record, hurt, demoted, both negative WAR |

I'm also not that excited about someone with raw power and not much else. IMO that has little value in Kauffman stadium where a player has to be able to get on base consistently. |

Sorry, one more quick question. Matias, Melendez, and Pratto seem to all have alot to work on and prove, although they all have shown promise of varying degrees. Do you promote them next year, or keep them at the same level until they prove that they can make consistent contact? All 3 seem to have horrible averages for their level.
