    I way I see it, they're opting to optimize the optimal option over the suboptimal option.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Very little, but that's not really on this front office. It appears they went and got the guy they wanted in Adrianza, unfortunately he got injured in Spring Training.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Adrianza, obviously. I think Santana was a flyer who was given an outside chance to prove he belonged here while the front office got Adrianza through rehab.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep. Sometimes good thinking leads to bad results. The real heist *should* have been the Revere trade but between Worley collapsing with the Twins and May getting bounced around and injured, that trade is much closer in overall value than it should have been.

    Jimmer, email me at brock@twinsdaily.com as a reminder to look into this again. Something went seriously wrong with your account. You were banned but no one remembers why or even doing it and now your PMs are buggered. I'll have to dive into the database and look at it manually.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Ooh, I could get behind this idea.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    The rotation is bonkers. I have no friggin' idea who is even on the roster at this point or when they pitch. Please, call up Mejia. Or Berrios. Whatever. Give us something to cling to here.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    But I'm not talking about extreme positional shifts. I've been vocal about not wanting Tepesch to start, I'm just not convinced Berrios is the guy to fill that spot. I don't understand why Mejia wasn't recalled, to be frank. Even if you don't think Mejia is a longterm piece this season, give him two more starts and use that time to stretch out Duffey and then make a decision.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Because 10-15 or worse basically puts this team out of contention unless lightning strikes. In that situation, the front office should be more willing to roll the dice in hopes that Berrios comes out firing strikes. And if he doesn't, oh well. It didn't really matter anyway. It's the same reason I wanted to see the team call up Berrios earlier last season, stick Buxton in the lineup permanently, and just lets the kids play every day. If the games don't matter, it's perfectly acceptable to turn your team into development mode.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Honest question: Should I be excited that Santana hit a home run or should I be dismayed that he did something good, making a roster decision more difficult?
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't want to see more of Gibson in the rotation, that's for sure. I'm done with that guy. I'm hoping the team does something with Mejia. I still don't really understand why he was demoted and not recalled the moment the Twins needed a fifth starter again. Three starts is not enough to evaluate a rookie, IMO.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    When I say "health consideration", I really mean "woke up with a minor boo-boo or a sniffle".
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    To be clear, in no way am I saying the film will get it wrong, only that the trailer didn't feel right to me. But it's a trailer, not the film itself.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    It does if the team believes he's going to post numbers so terrible the Twins will be forced to write off 20% of their games. Again, my opinion on this matter would be wildly different if the Twins were 10-15 or worse.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    I quite liked WW in BvS but she didn't really do much.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I couldn't care less if they change events but changing the core motivations of the characters is something else entirely. It's why I loved Civil War and hated BvS. Marvel got the characters right and changed around events to make it work on screen. BvS actually stuck with more of the events but got the characters all wrong.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I really hope sitting Kepler was a health consideration and not simply stupid management.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Interesting. I wish he would have gone into a bit more depth but it's only a chat so I get why he didn't.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Hey, I never said it was realistic.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Santana is a nightmare futility guy. He's bad at everything. Adrianza is closer to a dream futility guy if he can play the OF. He won't hit but futility guys don't hit. If they can, they're called Ben Zobrist.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    To elaborate a bit on Adrianza, I think it's pretty apparent what the front office is grooming the guy to be with the Twins. Here are his games played during his rehab stint: SS - 3 games 2B - 2 games 3B - 1 game OF - 3 games ?? - 1 game (unlisted position on B-Ref) It's pretty obvious Falvey wants this guy in the Denny Hocking role from way back when. Falvey inherited Danny Santana. He chose Ehire Adrianza.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, there simply isn't room for him no matter how you look at it. Escobar is not going to be released. He's playing quite well in a backup role. No way in hell is Vargas getting demoted after his start to the season. And the front office obviously likes Adrianza, seeing how they acquired him and kept him after the injury. Then they started playing him in the outfield because it appears they like him so much that they want to find a way to keep him. And it just so happens the only disposable guy on the roster is the guy who plays the same positions as Adrianza. If the front office planned to let Adrianza walk, they wouldn't be starting him in the outfield.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Right now, I'm taking more than a little comfort in the fact that Adrianza has been playing the outfield in his MiLB rehab. If the guy can play the outfield capably, he's kind of a dream futility guy, the perfect guy to finally get Danny Santana off this ****ing roster. And Adrianza's rehab is almost over.
