05-30-2013, 11:02 PMAlex replied to a thread Gardy Needs a Refresher Course in Lineup Construction in Minnesota Twins TalkThe irony with this lineup, of course, is that if he's batting third, he's likely got two guys in front of him that can't get on base so he comes up...45 replies | 1394 view(s) -
05-30-2013, 10:54 PMThe DH allows the great hitters of the game to stay a bit longer, and I think that's a good thing, even if there is something elegant about making...12 replies | 307 view(s)

05-28-2013, 06:58 PMHe's played 32 games at catcher and 12 at DH, so it's not like they're inflating the value that much. Honestly, I'd prefer he didn't play catcher at...46 replies | 1648 view(s)

05-28-2013, 06:38 PMMauer plays catcher. Morneau plays 1B. Morneau has a .348 OBP and .401 SLG (.749 OPS) Mauer has a .415 OBP and .497 SLG (.913 OPS) ...46 replies | 1648 view(s)

05-28-2013, 02:10 PMI now see your point. Makes sense. Thanks. I don't disagree on the Twins money management either, but that doesn't mean I won't be rational;)46 replies | 1648 view(s)

05-28-2013, 02:03 PMI agree (and that was my point -- he's not worth it. I was going to call it "crazy" but refrained). $7M would be the high end obviously, and he's...46 replies | 1648 view(s)

05-28-2013, 02:00 PMWhat does the money matter? It matters because you could get a better hitter for $13M than Morneau. If they pay something more at his actual...46 replies | 1648 view(s)

05-28-2013, 01:38 PMA qualifying offer-about $13.3M-- to a 1B with an OPS of .748 on pace to finish with fewer than 10 HR? I love Morneau, but he'll take that offer in...46 replies | 1648 view(s)

05-24-2013, 06:52 PMQuiet night. These runs are on the ump, though Deduno could have made some better fielding plays prior to that.87 replies | 1495 view(s)

05-24-2013, 03:46 PM@willihammer, Interesting. We should point out that correlation isn't cause. Could pitchers who are having more success just pitch faster...131 replies | 2837 view(s)

05-24-2013, 02:14 PMI'd hate to see him leave, and I think there is more that they could do around him. For starters, I think Morneau is the one to move if possible...58 replies | 2165 view(s)

05-24-2013, 11:33 AMObviously when a team has a 2-0 lead in the first they have a much better chance of winning a game, but what would be interesting to find out is if...131 replies | 2837 view(s)

05-24-2013, 11:24 AMSo, all the Twins pitchers need to do is get rid of the ball quickly? Let's call it the hot potato strategy. It should force the entire team to...131 replies | 2837 view(s)

05-23-2013, 06:43 PMBecause position matters. If he's the 11th best hitting 1B in the league, that means he's easily replaceable (or should be) with the contract he...25 replies | 640 view(s)

05-22-2013, 12:33 PMTo be fair, his numbers prior to surgery were decent, so many of us thought the same. He hasn't been able to reproduce them, though.54 replies | 1315 view(s)

05-22-2013, 10:26 AMIt's tough to have a team that consistently wins for 10 years regardless of how it's done, so the argument is a false one. Money isn't always the...131 replies | 2837 view(s)
