As a Yankee fan, getting Machado would be overkill. Let Andujar win the job.

Rule 5 draft happened this morning (it's technically still happening but they are solidly into the minor league phase at the moment) Also Brandon Kintzler back to the Nats on a 2/10 deal

Poque posted:Cubs signed Steve Cishek for some reason Because he was good this year, particularly after being traded to the Rays whose pitching coach we now have. His peripherals were good in 2016, too. Just don't use him as a closer. Like seriously look at those Rays numbers this year: 1.09 ERA, 2.14 FIP, 0.81 WHIP  Only 24 innings but still.e. Also he got surgery for a hip issue before the 2017 season and looked way better this year afterwards.

It's funny that people blame current voters for being too dependent on WAR since, from the 70s through the early 00s, you could just look at HR/RBI totals and pick the MVP out easily.

I also assumed Gose had been on MLB rosters/in MLB games longer than he actually has, which threw me off. He's the first guy I can remember knowing only from MLB games that I've seen in Rule 5 results.

I don't know how international signees under 18 factor in. I think their clock just starts when they turn 18 but I'm not sure.

So the Nick Burdi thing is actually way deeper than I thought. Partially because I forgot he had TJS last season. https://www.twinkietown.com/2017/12...esota-twins-mlb quote:Rule 5 draftees generally have to stay on the claiming team’s major league roster for the entire next season, otherwise the player is returned to their original club. You probably already knew that. What you might not know is that placing a player on the 60-day DL — which is where Burdi will be placed once the season begins — is not a work-around to that roster requirement. Hence, once activated in mid-to-late 2018, Burdi will still have to spend 90 days on the active major league roster — a period of time that will almost certainly spill into the 2019 season. tl;dr - to keep Burdi, the Phillies (or any team that would have drafted him) have to keep him on the MLB roster fresh off of TJS for 90 days even though he's never pitched above AA. On the plus side for them, I suppose, they probably won't be competing enough for it to matter if they like him enough.

I'm actually surprised the Yankees didn't lose more guys. Mike Ford was kind of surprising pick since you'd think Seattle would want to promote Vogelbach first, although I see where the Mariners are going with it. Mainly I'm amazed nobody took Feyereisen or Coshow, they're the kind of fringe ready right now for a bullpen spot guys that usually get snagged.

It's probably not the best indication of the state of the farm that the Cubs left their #9 best prospect unprotected and he wasn't chosen, but I'm legit glad we get to hang on to Clifton. He was fantastic in 2016 before running into a fairly textbook "oh hey AA is actually loving hard" roadblock this year, but he's a command/control guy with mid-rotation upside who I think can get over it.

Fernando Rodney owns cause you never know if he's gonna strike out the side or walk the bases loaded then pipe a meatball. It's very exciting.

The RP we took from the Rockies throws 103 mph and cut down on the walks last year (in low A ball, its true). Seems like a good dude to take a flier on. Giants actually have a bunch of guys in the system now with 100+ mph fastballs and iffy command. Will be cool if a few of them pan out.
