  2. Put Boyer in there. Even he can't ruin a five run lead and it might convince management to kick his ass out the door if he comes close to doing it.
  3. Given the options, I may have left Santana in from last night.
  4. "You don't know what result you'll get from Suzuki but you know that you'll get a real, real tough at-bat ever-" *couldn't hear the rest because Brock is pounding his face into the desk violently*
  5. But apparently every opposing pitcher he faces is Delilah. Oh snap. Also, I'm a little drunk.
  6. Don't apologize. It only gives the jackals license to complain about more things.
  7. I... actually agree with every word of this post. Well done on all counts.
  8. God, that Sano kid sucks at beisbol. Trade him.
  9. I know you're joking but after working as a sysadmin for a few years, it's kinda terrifying how easy it is to crack the typical user's password. No, it's not okay to use your pet's name as your banking password, folks. Also not okay to use your Twitter password as your E-Trade account password, either.
  10. "For the most part, a lead heading into 8th inning for the New York Yankees is about as secure as Anthony LaPanta’s hair in a wind storm." Parker, you rarely let me down.
  11. I often use obscure song lyrics. Easy to remember, can get a 20+ character password that you'll never forget. I also tier my passwords. I use a single password for hundreds of sites. If I don't care whether that site gets hacked, I use that tier 4 password. If I care a little, I use a more complicated tier 3 password. If I care a lot, a very complex tier 2 password. If it'd be disastrous to get hacked, an incredibly complex tier 1 password. I only use that last one in 3-4 places (banking, investments, etc).
  12. I'm fine with keeping Berrios in Rochester because he has been a dedicated starter for 3+ years now. Let him stay focused on starting and don't disrupt his learning process. If you want to use him as a reliever, let him glide into that role slowly next spring. But Duffey, he spent a lot of time as a reliever. He knows the process. You can get that guy up to speed in a hurry and if you refuse to call up somebody like Oliveros, there's no valid reason not to go with Tyler because something needs to be done.
  13. Agreed completely, which is why I think the Twins, at best, play .500 ball from here on out. I'm less interested in the 2015 playoffs than I am seeing meaningful progression to set up 2016 and beyond. Don't get me wrong, I want the Twins to make the playoffs, but it won't break my heart if they miss October by a few games. I look at the 2015 squad and see a ton of potential but not a lot of real, tangible talent today. Make a few small moves, improve the team, and hope things break right over the next two months. If something like Tulo falls into your lap, make that move but keep your focus on 2016-2018. Don't give up valuable assets for rental players, especially relievers. Trading valuable players for relievers is a good way to make sure you keep losing for a long, long time. All but the best relievers are so volatile that you may as well flip a coin to predict future performance.
  14. Nobody wants 3 1/2 years of Ervin Santana at the trade deadline. It's that simple, really. That doesn't mean it's a bad contract, he's not worth the money, or anything of the sort... But nobody picks up that contract at the deadline.
  15. At this point, I don't even care who they call up... But for the love of God, call up someone.
  16. He's an interesting and unusual prospect, that's for sure. He's probably a corner outfielder but he'll be a very good corner outfielder, at least defensively. To me, the biggest sticking point with Kepler is going to be whether he's a .300+ hitter or a .270 hitter. This season, he's overperforming BABIP but given how new he is to the game of baseball, I have no idea if this is luck or progression as a player. He won't maintain his current .376 BABIP but given his discipline and contact tool, it's possible this is a legit turning of the corner for him. If he's a .300/.380/.400 hitter, you don't care much about the middling power (I don't think he'll be a bad power hitter). To draw a comparison, are we looking at Joe Mauer-lite with good corner outfield defense? Obviously, that's not a 5-7 WAR player like Joe but he could slot in as a 3-4 WAR player if the tools we're seeing this season are for real. 2016 will be very telling about Max.
  17. I try to avoid using Yankees contracts as proof of anything because they're stupid with money. Really, really stupid with money. Thankfully, their saving grace is that they have a bottomless pit of money. Jacoby Ellsbury. I still can't believe people defended that contract. I damned near fell out of my chair in hysterical laughter when I read the details.
  18. Not elite yet, no. His 2014 is dragging him down. He'll need to finish 2015 strong and do the same in 2016.
  19. I'd play fast and loose with Arcia and Vargas but Kepler is just getting his feet under him. Due to growing up in Germany and getting injured, I think slow and steady is the right path for Max.
