Here is Sickel's take on the new guys: Here is Kevin Goldstein's take. He's the big writer at Baseball Prospectus:
Before I forget, I should post my initial reaction about this trade. [IMG] Props for both of them. This is a great trade. But that's what...
Sigh.... Keuchel was sent back to AAA because Mills can't manage a bullpen.
Link God damnit. Keuchel gets send down because Mills can't manage a bullpen worth ****? It doesn't take 3 pitchers to throw 2 innings. F. Rod...
His contract played out pretty much the way everyone predicted it would. I don't fault him to much for losing so much of his power; though if he...
holy ****. :confused: I was just looking at his record and thinking he needed to report to Corpus. I don't see the logic in this at all. He's...

love it! <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Jeff Luhnow pulls off the impossible, finding two trade partners for Carlos Lee in one week. I...
Not terribly surprising. Carlos will feel much more at home with a strong-Hispanic influence in Miami. Plus he's played for Guillen before....
I came across a very interesting pre-season top prospects list today. The interesting thing is the way they actually broke down the grades by...
Count that as one prediction come true :grin:
Wow. That's quite a haul.
4 prospects in Sickel's top 120. Yelich and Jose Fernandez are probably untouchable. Those three look like reasonable options. They're all lefty...
Rookie League/Short Season update I have a hard time predicting these promotions because they can be a lot more fluid than the upper levels. Also...
