    Agreed. The likelihood of Plouffe becoming an acceptable long-term 3B is much higher than Escobar doing the same.

    Danny Santana has 20 MLB plate appearances. I hope the kid continues to hit but let's keep ourselves in check. #RememberChrisColabello

    I think the Twins will end up somewhere just south of mediocrity. Probably 8-11th in ERA. In May, they're 9th in the AL in ERA. I think that's close to what we can expect for the season if the rotation stays somewhat healthy. Pelfrey was absolutely atrocious. He has been replaced by Deduno, who posted slightly above average numbers last year and looks like the same guy this year. Nolasco was awful and has since turned it around and looked like Ricky Nolasco in his past two starts. Hughes was punished early and has now started looking like an above average pitcher, which is what I expected from him. Gibson needs to turn it around or he'll be well below average after getting lucky in early starts. He's the big regression candidate. How he and Correia (or whomever replaces one of them) pitches is the difference between a 70 win team and a 75 win team, in my opinion.

    They could also be 19-17 if they reversed just two or three few idiotic plays in the field. That's just baseball. They've looked bad at times (the Dodgers and Cleveland series) and then they turn around and play the Tigers straight-up in Detroit. They're a middling-to-bad team and to me, that's exactly how they've looked thus far. They've looked entirely incompetent and then turned around and looked like an 85 win team the next day.

    Well, they're 5th in the AL in runs scored and 13th in ERA. That sounds a lot like a 17-19 record overall and their expected pythag is indeed 17-19. But... It's unlikely they remain anywhere near 5th in runs scored as the year progresses. On the other hand, it's also unlikely that they remain 13th in team ERA given that Deduno, Hughes, and Nolasco are now in the rotation and pitching well enough to stay in games. I think the team is a low 70s win team, just as I did before the season. Whether they drop below or rise above that depends on injuries and how much Meyer and/or May contribute this season.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    It's one start. Not a lot to judge at this point. But if Worley comes back and is a successful MLB pitcher in any way, Anderson should lose his job.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Hughes is doing exactly what I expected him to do in Target Field. Hopefully he can continue to perform at this level all season.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    It's definitely a possibility, though it will require better play from Gibson and Corriea/May/Meyer to get there. Right now, the team isn't good enough to crack .500 for an entire season.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    I had them placed in the 71-73 win area and nothing has really changed my opinion. They'll be better than last season but still pretty bad.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Then you send down Hicks when Fuld is ready. You don't start patching together makeshift rosters that won't last at the expense of players you want to help win games in 2015 and beyond. Danny Santana has 20 career MLB plate appearances. Twenty.

  12. Brock Beauchamp
    And as a response, you're advocating playing a 23 year old middle infielder out of position based on the same number of plate appearances Hicks had in Spring Training. How do you not see just how terrible this idea is?
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Aaron Hicks has all the tools AND experience, yet he hasn't been particularly good in center. Why would you want to jerk around Santana like that? What good could come of it?
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    I'd put even money on you saying the exact same thing about Santana by June. Let's not get ahead of ourselves over 30 plate appearances.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Didn't we see what can happen when you put a career middle infielder in the outfield in a big league game just the other day? I've heard a lot of bad ideas on this forum but Santana in center is probably the worst one yet. Why would anyone want to screw with a kid's head like that? What possible good could come from such insane mismanagement?
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    And the Jays continue their non-stop jackassery. MLB needs to change the rules so that a player cannot be reclaimed by a team that released him earlier that season.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Thankfully, that's unlikely to happen this year, as the pitching staff continues to look somewhat competent. I don't see long losing streaks in this team's future.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    To answer your question, iTunes doesn't make money from podcasts. It's a service provided by Apple to keep people using iTunes and getting their money through other iTunes services. In short, Apple would probably get a good laugh if MLB asked for a slice of podcast revenue.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. I'm to the point where Gardy should be replaced for that reason alone.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    May he who casts the first stone have a long career in the Twins bullpen. Or something like that.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, there have been a lot of good things about the farm this year if you can get past the injury problems at the 1 and 2 spots on the prospect list.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    No worries, thanks for responding.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Let's not turn this into an argument over the meaning of scripture.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    The kid just keeps hitting. It will be interesting to see what happens as the league develops a book on him and starts throwing stuff he doesn't expect to see.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    How does iTunes profit from podcasts?
