Thats the only way the Pirates can stay competitive. The players need to buy into the organizational philosophy. The organization has to show loyalty to the players as well.

Jason Lane could always hit homers. His problem was making contact regularly. Defense was never his strong-suit, either.

I've never been one that wants to put all of my faith in statistics. I like to actually see players on the field to see how they react to certain situations. Can they hit the cut-off man regularly? Do they throw to the right base? How do they react to a questionable call on the bases or at...

The Twins have several very good prospects that could play a role this season. Byron Buxton, of course, is looked at as the CF of the future for the team. Jose Berrios is a starter with top of the rotation stuff that should make his debut this season. Max Kepler could be the most important of...

As the mayor of my town, I have declared today a civic holiday.

If you need more members, open the league up to outsiders. I've done this in the past and recruited posters by doing so.

I'm in, but I'll have to do an autodraft. I'm going to be at work tonight. The joys of being a nurse.......

Had I not been busy trying to fix a league that I commish, I would have joined. Yahoo has half-season leagues and I would be interested in joining one of them. Let me say that if you need another team, I'm in. I'll need to set it up before I go to work and have an autodraft.

A real shame. I hope he recovers quickly. The D'Backs need him in center.

My how the mighty have fallen. Bourn was one of the rising stars in baseball a few years back. Bonifacio had a nice career and should get into coaching.

Delmon Young was pretty much a bust as well. Loads of talent, bad attitude, poor decisions off the field.

With the command that pitchers currently have, they are able to adjust to the strike zone the physical umpire gives them. As long as each umpire is consistent in his/her strike zone, pitchers can throw to it and hitters can adjust as well. Stay with the humans, but grade them with machines...

In 5 years, Trout will likely command $35-40MM/year and the prospects will still be under $1M/year each. With the allocation of salary being so one-sided, I have to go with the prospects. One can buy stats without hamstringing your franchise. The Twins did that with Mauer and they have not...

Twins and Royals are too low. White Sox, Indians and Yankees are too high (possibly by 5+ games each).

I guess Al Jazeera got one right. This story cost them their American affiliate.

I can't disagree with the list in the story. The guys that made it made it big. The guys that missed, missed badly, especially Bush. He was a bum.

Not a trade, but releasing David Ortiz was a huge mistake. JJ Hardy for a couple of bullpen arms that I can't even remember.

Joe Mauer.

Sano lost his eligibility last season. AL MVP -- Trout. NL MVP -- Harper. AL Cy Young -- Felix NL CY Young -- Jake DeGrom AL ROY -- Byron Buxton NL ROY -- Corey Seager
