    Oh, hah. I wasn't responding to you... I hadn't read your message until after I posted that message. De Vries was throwing stuff belt high so I made that comment.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah... You might want to think about keeping that ball down, Cole.

    Joe Mauer is, once again, a Very Good Baseball Player.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Sup, hotcakes. A/S/L?

    Let's take a moment to savor the fact that the Twins are playing a day/night doubleheader and Gardenhire did not use Butera to start either game.

    Since when is $3.5m for a backup catcher who can hit "stupid money"? Since when is $3.5m for any player that doesn't suck "stupid money"?

    Aaaaaaaand let's do this again!

    I only had three. I did well for myself.

    If I squint real hard and maybe drink two more beers, this would look a lot like a 2002 Twins game.

    Until recently (haven't looked in a week or two), he was still putting the ball on the ground waaaaaaaaay above his career norm, which was already somewhat high. That's a sign that he still isn't right and may never be right again. But right now, he looks pretty healthy.

    This is the real test of Trevor Plouffe. He referenced the past two weeks being "slider mania". Pitchers are adjusting. Now we'll see if Trevor can adjust to their adjustment to the adjustment.

    I only say Capps is iffy because I would rather have the pick and then pick up another "closer" on the FA market for the same money. I thought that would have been the smart move. Capps has performed adequately in the role when healthy. The Twins have surely been bitten by the injury bug in the rotation (again) but there was no reason to think Marquis could hack it in the AL. He's a below average AL starter at best. Given the rotation's problems, it has been a worst case scenario for JR but he easily could have done better this offseason and he didn't. But, like you said, he didn't have a ton of money to play with, either.

    With the glut of outfielders the Twins have in the wings, it won't kill the team to sign a mediocre stopgap or just plug their noses with a Mastrioanni type and hope that one of the kids is ready by next July. The Twins need starters far more than they need outfielders.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    I think most of the rational posters around here think JR has done a pretty good job with the ML roster on this team. The huge, mammoth, gigantic exception being the rotation, which he didn't address in a meaningful way at all last offseason. But the bullpen and lineup? You'd have to be more than a little delusional to think JR has done a bad job there. Capps was iffy but Burton has been golden. Doumit has met expectations. Willingham has grossly exceeded them. Carroll is somewhat unimpressive but most of us knew that going in.

    I promise to drink a beer for every strikeout. If he's pitching well, I won't care by the fifth inning.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Nah, it could be a good game. Diamond is on the mound, I'm sitting in the Legend's Club, and the tickets were free.

    Royals: Gordon LF Betancourt 2B Moustakas 3B Butler DH Francoeur RF Hosmer 1B Pena C Bourgeois CF Escobar SS (Sanchez P) Twins: Span CF Revere RF Mauer 1B Willingham DH Plouffe 3B Doumit C Mastroianni LF Dozier SS Casilla 2B (Diamond P) And on that note, I'm off to the game.

    I'm hoping that JR has the guts to just take Butera away from Gardy at some point. Butera would be acceptable (still terrible, but acceptable) as a third catcher if Gardy only ran him out there once every two weeks but instead, he's become a "Gardy guy", probably based on his inability to do anything while standing at the plate.

    Fresh off a 4-3 loss last night, the Twins look to get on track today in a day/night doubleheader at Target Field. In the first game, lefties Jonathan Sanchez and Scott Diamond face off while in the second game, doubleheader call-up Cole De Vries will take the mound for the Twins against the Royals' Luke Hochevar. In the case of today's double-header, Twins Daily will only run one game thread through the entire day. Start the conversation below!

    Or maybe their eyeballs were injured and the Twins medical staff got to them.

    Take a look around the majors at some of the guys contending teams are running out in the leadoff spot. Now look again and see who some of those same contending teams are running out in centerfield. A .700+ OPS guy with speed, a decent OBP, and good centerfield defense isn't that easy to come by. Add in the fact that he's under 30 and is cost-controlled for over two more seasons and you have a guy that teams want on their rosters. Hell, I'll do it for you: http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/stats/sortable.jsp?c_id=was#playerType=ALL&elem=%5Bobject+Object%5D&tab_level=child&click_text=Sortable+Team+hitting&sectionType=st&statType=hitting&page=1&ts=1341067737361&split=b1&sortColumn=obp&sortOrder='desc'&extended=0 The Reds' leadoff men are getting on base 23% of the time. The Dodgers are getting on base 28% of the time. The Orioles are getting on base 25% of the time, the Pirates 27%. You don't think those teams would love to have a table setter that gets on base 34-35% of the time? I keep saying it over and over again but this is not 2004. Baseball is a different game. While we used to be a little meh about guys who get on base 34% of the time in 2004, they're a real and valuable commodity in 2012 and they're well above the MLB average.

    I think this is proof that JR believes the team will be ready to roll in either 2013 or 2014. It also makes sense given the latest draft. Keeping Doumit doesn't mean they can't go find a starting pitcher for Span. Denard, as beneficial as he is to the team, is somewhat redundant with Revere playing as well as he is. If this team keeps Liriano, finds a starter in trade for Span, Gibson pitches well and is ready for Minnesota next season, and then they dedicate $15m or so to a starting pitcher, the Twins could easily compete in the Central next season. It's a risk to try to rebuild this quickly but with Mauer in the middle of his prime, I can't fault JR for thinking that it can be done.

    You'd rather see Butera out there? This is exactly what the Twins should be doing. Filling the roster with complementary players around Mauer & Co while still letting the young guys play. The Twins have a lot of free money this offseason to build a respectable pitching staff. Their bullpen looks good. The offense is decent. All they really need is starting pitching (admittedly the hardest thing to find). This was a great move by JR. Sign Doumit now and keep him through 2014 or trade him at the deadline. We complained that Smith sat on his hands last deadline. JR is doing the opposite and I welcome the change.

    Oh, I was insulting the quality of the game, not Hudler's commentary. I said my piece on Hudler.
