I’m going to need to see a lot more of Astudillo before I believe he’s average behind the plate. And Castro is somewhere around league average for catchers with the stick. It’s a stretch to say he “can’t hit”. -
There’s a lot more to catching than holding a bat and Castro is pretty good at most of it, very good at some of it.

What Did You Do To Mitch Garver?
Brock Beauchamp replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Twitter is a cesspool and should not be used by anyone. -
I want to see Astudillo get more playing time but there’s no sense of urgency to the situation. Over time, attrition will get him playing time. In the first weeks of the season, figure out what you have in the starting corps and let them play. These situations resolve themselves quickly enough most of the time. Fit him in where you can, play him a couple of times a week, and keep him fresh when an opening arises. If an opening doesn’t arise, that means the team is pretty good and I’m not going to worry about it much.

Where and how often? And who loses playing time in return? I want to see Astudillo on the 25 man roster but we’re three games into the season and he’s an unknown quantity. He should get playing time but not at the expense of more established players. If he’s worthy of a starting spot, he’ll play his way into it. Don’t force the issue.

I love Astudillo as much as the next guy but some of you need to reel it in a bit. The dude has ~100 career PAs. The front office isn’t insane for refusing to write his name into lineups using a pen.

Indians tanking but will still win the division?
Brock Beauchamp replied to glunn's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
The thing is that Cleveland could easily have scored a few hitters on the relative cheap and made their team better. Yeah, it would have pushed their payroll a bit but if you do three or under year deals, that’s kind of the point of a push. It’s not as if their farm system is going to keep feeding them through the attrition of free agency. -

I thought about going on various statistics how Francona has done more X than Gardenhire has done Y but thought it'd take me about an hour to work out all the hilarity that would come with such an exercise. Like, "Francona has more World Series championships than Gardenhire has ALCS game wins". The list could go on for a really long time. -
I find it really weird that everyone is shouting about CNN being biased, yet no one is defending them. How about we get back to the facts here? The Mueller Report was defined to find international interference in our elections. They found that. That led them to the Trump campaign, which was supported by said international interference, and Mueller found no collusion. Okay, can we agree on that part? Now, to the obstruction of justice... Maybe some of you aren't as comfortable with this part of the conversation.

That was literally the most garbage, OMG OPENING DAY IS HERE, post I've ever made.
-
See, I think Perez is an afterthought. If anything, a negative in the aggregate. I think the gains come from any mixture of Buxton, Polanco, Sano, Kepler, etc. coming into their own and basically rocking. Any one of them could bring 3-4 wins to the team and I think this is an 81-83 win team as they stand today. But they have enough young players that a few should step up and give a few wins. If a few step up and a few are outstanding, then you have a 90 win team. I can't predict that but I think at least one or two players will go big this year and post 3 WAR seasons. That puts the team around the 85 win range.

Francona has more World Series wins than Gardenhire does postseason series wins. -
I think there are 5-6 answers to that question and I wouldn’t argue with any of them.
-
Campaign finance. The climate.
-
I think 85-86 but that's on the line so I decided to be optimistic for once and voted 86-90.

Except for the part about it being an investigation into election tampering by a foreign government that ended up finding election tampering and indicting a load of foreign nationals as a result.
-
I'd like to see the report but it's not necessary... whereas Congress absolutely needs to see the report. Why? Because remember that this wasn't an investigation that started with the premise of collusion, its original premise was election interference by a foreign government. And that was absolutely shown to be the case. Okay, so we established a crime happened here. Now we need the legislative body to weigh in on the subject to enact, you know, actual legislation to counteract the interference.

I'm super-happy that you have had a good experience but I think it extends past local relationships. There are ways to subvert the process and those examples may not be rampantly used, but they exist. We know someone whose bio-mom tried to avoid losing their kid through ICWA and a very tenuous relationship with an Alaskan (!) tribe. Thankfully, the court saw through the attempt and thwarted it quickly. But there are plenty of cases out there of biological parents and far-reaching tribes being real pains in the asses and using ICWA not in the spirit of the law, but in its letter (which, from what I understand, can be pretty vague at times, but I'm not a lawyer so I don't know the details).
-
I saw the 12 hours of non-tweets talked about rather extensively after some indictment or another. Then he started tweeting again. My point is that we should just sit, wait, and then decide. That's all.
-
Eh, I remember similar reports months about about a big Mueller release and nothing came of it. Trump was happily tweeting a few hours later. If he goes two days without tweeting, let me know. Also, I don't give a **** about his tweets, nor should anyone else.
-
The next few months are either going to be super-interesting or super-boring. I suspect it's the former.
-
If people are willing to overpay, you take it. And people were willing to overpay for Pressly. Don't get me wrong, he's a very good pitcher. But they really overpayed for 1.3 years of service.
-
Someone please let me know why I should care if Gonzalez has a bad spring.
-
Understandably so.
