    A fair prediction, Seth. I have no idea what number to put on this guy. I think he could easily hit .700 or .850. He's a complete unknown.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    I didn't like the Tigers last season and I certainly don't like them this season. Under.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Over, because somebody in this division has to break out a bit. But really, this is a "non bet" team for me. 86.5 is a good over/under for them, IMO.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Under. I do not like this team.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    Under because they lack any kind of depth. They have some really nice pieces at the top but very little underneath. I think the Sox will end up as the worst team in the division.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    I'll take the under but not by a lot. I'll be happy with a .700 OPS and solid progression as he gains experience.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Why do we care about the backup center fielder? We all remember the Twins' left fielder is also a natural center fielder, right? Santana can spot start in the field and if something happens to Buxton, Eddie can slide 100 feet to his left.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm taking the way under on Eddie. I think he's going to stumble badly as he discovers that an MLB hitter can't swing at 60% of pitches outside the zone. Maybe he gets demoted, maybe he adjusts, recovers, and has a solid second half. OPS of .700 and that's only if he plays an entire season. I could easily see him hit .650 and get demoted in June.

    I also became a fan the year before the M hat and have fond memories of those teams. But that didn't stop me from hating the hat. I was so excited when the TC made a return.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Over. I think they take second behind the Astros and possibly flirt with 90 wins.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Over. I think they win 90.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Agreed. The cost is marginal to acquire that guy but availability is spotty during the season. Few teams are interested in a trade from February to June. Offseason, though, yeah. Not hard to find that guy.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    The Milone trade was outright theft. Guys like that aren't normally available for the likes of Sam Fuld. It was a terrible trade by Beane and many called it such at the time, including myself.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Interesting. I expected Quentin to stick around until the very end.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't see Milone being a particularly effective bullpen arm, even as a lefty specialist.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I was actually in favor of moving Milone this offseason to get May into the rotation.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    My sentiments exactly. I'd prefer to see May in the rotation but I'm not willing to throw away Milone to make it happen.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Wow, I'm going to take the over on a Seth prediction. I expect Escobar to fall somewhere in the low 700s. Maybe .720 if I had to put a number on it.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Heh, yes. A bad/mediocre slider is simply a slow fastball that moves a little. A good slider is something else entirely.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    It shouldn't be that important but given how the Twins are (too) often slow to adjust when a guy is underperforming, it becomes a big deal.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    How could you forget about Adam ****ing Kennedy?
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    When the team is winning less than 70 games a season, does it matter? I'm not in love with either player but stashing a Rule V guy on the 25 man is the kind of move bad teams should make. It's not like they have anything to lose, really. Though obviously I question whether holding on to Graham once the Twins became competitive last season was the smart move. But Pressly, yeah, whatever. It didn't matter.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I think Dozier will fade in the second half again but probably not as badly as he did last season. The first half of his season won't be as good as last season, either... Basically, more of the same from Dozier. A .750-.770 OPS, good defense, and a very good overall player.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, that defensive alignment would be terrible, of that I have little doubt... But it might work in the short-term. It's not what I'd like to see but it might be in Buxton's best interest, which should be at the front of the team's mind. And it also fixes the Arcia/Quentin problem in the short-term. The way Carlos is raking this spring, it's hard to leave him off the roster. I know, Spring Training SSS and all that but damn, the dude is flat-out raking. And yeah, Suzuki is "starting" right now but I doubt the Twins traded for Murphy with the expectation Kurt would be squatting behind the dish four times a week in August.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm wishy-washy on Buxton. It's likely I'd send him to Rochester but I haven't seen enough plate appearances this spring to know for sure. And the Twins don't *have* to start Buxton. They can slide Rosario to center and field a subpar defensive alignment for a month or two while he gets it together. As for Murphy, I'm far from sold on the guy. I didn't particularly like the trade when it happened... But he filled a need. Now it's on the front office's shoulders to prove they picked the right guy.
