    you could quote what i said pretty easily..in other words, what you have there i did not say. what i said was Martin can score from 2B consistently and he can go from 1B to 3B when we need it.

    the consistency that i'm talking about is simply this -- in 2013, Russ scored from 2B on singles 12 out of 15 times..an 80% success rate. and even last year while battling a bad hammy all year he had a 57% success rate in scoring from 2B on singles.

    even though he no longer steals bags, Russ is still one of the better athletes at the catcher position. i know you're in the anti-Russ posse on DSP and all that, but these aren't the grounds in which to do battle on.

    MLB Declares Yoan Moncada A Free Agent
    By Charlie Wilmoth [November 15, 2014 at 11:28am CST]
    MLB has declared Cuban infielder Yoan Moncada a free agent, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com tweets. The US Office of Foreign Assets Control still must unblock Moncada before he is free to sign, however, so it may be awhile before he settles on a team.
    The 19-year-old Moncada is widely viewed as an outstanding talent who could get a bonus in the $30MM-40MM range, a huge figure given that, unlike some Cuban players, he is subject to MLB rules governing international bonus pools. Given the taxes for overages on international bonus spending, Moncada would actually cost his new team tens of millions more than his bonus amount.




    aren't we still rebuilding the farm? Seager and Moncada on the left side of the infield? :bukkake:

    Friedman needs to get this Cuban. Although if we do, we wouldn't be able to sign another Int'l free agent for a while.

    you mean the one's that are under the age limit and signed using the international bonus pool, right?

    i mean i think they'd be able to get Moncada and then still sign a Tomas who's a free agent without restriction because he's 24yrs old and not seen as an amateur.

    i wouldn't care if they were Martian. if they're as talented as scouts are saying, Friedman needs to be interested in signing them. need more young top end talent in the org. need a stable.

    If we hamstring ourselves and sign him then what? What if there is another guy out there that is better and more developed than this kid. I say pass.

    if you look at it like that way, how do you ever sign anybody when you fear that the next guy could be better? there's always a " next guy "

    The strategy of signing every great Cuban player lacks imagination Imo.

    Chiefs makes a good point about being tapped out as far as the Int bonus pool goes..that wouldn't be a good thing.

    they also think Moncada will eventually wind up @ 3B..sort of like Seager. the kid's tools are monumental though.

    Scoring from 2nd consistently is pretty much with ease. And when we need it is with regularity.

    Spin it any way you like, what I said is pretty much the same thing as what you said.


    Btw, where did you find this stat? in 2013, Russ scored from 2B on singles 12 out of 15 time

    I'd like to know where to go to find details like this.
