Burning an option or service time considerations are not the issue here. He'll be up at AA soon enough. If he does well there I think he debuts...

As the OP alluded to, the Twins seem to have a completely different view on what good or bad defense actually is. The things that seem to be...

Fair enough, TT, fair enough.

Everyone knows the pitching coach takes no blame for terrible pitching performances, it is obviously the bullpen coaches fault!

Just like with Gardenhire, I don't want Anderson to get the axe just so Ryan can defelct some of the blame, nearly all of which should be on his...

I'm with you on this, jorgenswest. My least favorite players to watch are Plouffe, Doumit, and Willingham.

I don't HAVE an opinion about it. I'm not qualified to have one, but I still doubt, big time, that the Orioles would pass on an opportunity to trade...

You also think "ERA, won-loss record and even quality starts tell you a lot more than xFIP" So yeah

I understand that losing sucks. But there is a difference between bitter and pessimism. This thread had nothing to do with money or anything like...

I thought it was clear that entire rant was irrational, I even said that.

I thought about moving Sano up too. I then slapped myself in the face and had to change my shorts. I'd love to see him now, but burning an option...

mike wants wins, thanks for the information. I hadn't realized they wouldn't be better next year until you told me.

So it's THEY when the Twins suck (like the last 2 years) and I bet it was WE when the Twins were winning. On the Buxton front...mike wants wins is...

Actually, I'm arguing to move him to AA, I left that part off by accident. challenge him. My bad. TT, you can dislike it all you want, but until...

Thumbs down; DISLIKE!

Seriously, why so bitter? Bringing up a 19 year old from A+ is down right stupid. I could list the ways but people with heads on their shoulders...

Great idea, but why stop there? Shouldn't Buxton be playing CF too? Rosario at 2nd?

Challenge him by sending him to New Britain. You don't throw him to the wolves in MLB straight from A+ ball. He'd be annihilated. Look at Arcia. He's...

If it is not a coach's job to make players better, no matter how bad they are, what is his job? I mean, if all we are going to say about Gardy and...

You hit the nail on the head. I like to see the Twins score as much as the next guy. But, if you're going to build your staff around pitch to contact...

Good to know. Science!

Yup, it's all about money. Winning and hope and giving the fans a reason to come to the game is stupid.

Keep him down, the longer they keep him down, the better. I mean, why promote him from a league he's crushing like almost no one ever does? It makes...

No. You don't burn an option year for a 7-day test drive.

I think it is not as cut and dry as you think. Buxton is in low A, and Gausmann is going to start in MLB games this year. He's also looking better...

Nobody goes from A+ to the Majors. The real question is whether Sano should be at AA right now. I'm pretty "meh" on the topic. If they think he can...

The story was very well-written. Also, you back an initially "crazy" suggestion with some decent reasoning. If one is going to argue this point, this...
