I think he will have a higher OBP

People have said over and over there is a time limit on this rebuild and that everybody should lose their jobs if we aren't competing in a couple years. and as far as the big league product, this is a much better way of having a good big league product than what we were doing, but patience is key.

Thanks for the write up. I am hopefully seeing them in Helena Sat night! I am excited to see Lenyn Sosa.

Ive seen Romy Gonzalez listed as 3b, 2b and now listed as an OF... I wonder if he will be playing all over the field.

I am going to try to make it to the game on Sat. I am very interested to see who is on the roster.

I think ptatc's problem is that you are looking for an excuse to keep him in AAA. We should be doing whatever is best for his development, whether it be keeping him in AAA or moving him up to the bigs. We shouldn't be looking for reasons to keep him down... If he has more to learn in AAA great keep him there, if he is ready for the bigs he should be moved up at the next service time benchmark.

So if the mlb goes to electronic strikes zones (I think they will in a couple years) does Collins value increase and the defense first catchers value decrease?

Why does everybody think it will be Zavala instead of Collins moving up? Is it because reports have him ahead defensively?

I can understand why he is ranked there. His numbers before these last couple of months left something to be desired (especially for a 1b). If he keeps raking this yr, which I think he will do, he will keep rising up that board.

Dang, my daughters name is Rose and my name is Robert, I was hoping we could one day get jerseys with our names on them together...

Well if they talk to him and thats what he wants, i agree. I am just not sure he is as valuable to another team as he is to us and nobody pays what we demand. But if they do give us a kings ransom then great!

If Avi comes back and re-establishes some value he could be traded as well. I am hoping we package guys together to get bigger returns. If we trade Abreu hopefully an arm or 2 gets thrown in to increase the what we get back.

Side question... If MLB goes to electronic strike zones, is pitch framing no longer a stat?

From the sounds of it, there will be very few quality starters available in the trade market this year. which could def increase Shields' value.
