Lol, ugh ... auto correct ... Have I ever asked you about your avatar? 

There's an inside story to using that painting that I won't share here.

he’s their best reliever. He shouldn’t be confined to an inning or situation

 

Look baseball for the last 50 years have had a definite closer. I feel you need to have that defined role in the bullpen. Rogers lacks guts. He's a pretty good pitcher, but he lacks the ompfh that I want in the guy who shuts the door a la Nathan.

I’m going to have a big issue if Romo doesn’t start the 9th (barring a bunch of runs here of course). If Romo can’t get the bottom 3 of the Texas lineup, what did the Twins get him for?

Whew, just got out of there. I'd use Romo in the 9th now.

 

With 3 right handers coming up? Yeah I think Romo should get the 9th too

Dude is going to be a stud if he keeps improving.

I don't think there's much room for anything but offensive regression in Garver.

 

But that doesn't mean he can't be an extremely good player going forward. He simply won't be historically good, like Mike Piazza's bat with Joe Mauer's glove. That's basically the best catcher in baseball history, which is asking way too much of Mitch.

I was speaking more towards his defense. I don't think .265/.330/.460 is out of the question which would make him a really solid catcher.

Nathan is one of the best relievers in Twins history. I wouldn’t compare Rogers to Nathan. Rogers doesn’t have enough history.

 

Rogers has more multi inning saves this year than Nathan had for his entire career. He’s got plenty of grit
