    I agree that the Bartlett move was dumb but given how willing the Twins were to cast off Presley, it makes me wonder if there wasn't a personality conflict there... Nothing else makes sense. He was "Hicks insurance" going into Spring Training and by the end of March, they placed him on waivers. It doesn't make sense from an outside perspective and makes me wonder if there isn't more to the story. Either way, I question whether it really matters. Presley is playing badly, Mastro isn't the same guy anymore after the leg injury, and Fuld is playing over his head. Yeah, it'd be nice if they had actually gone out and "fixed" the problem but I think they expected Presley to be that fix and something went wrong there between March 1st and March 30th.

    I didn't see this coming. I expected Johnson to stay in Minnesota or Deduno to take Pelfrey's role or a reliever to come up from Rochester. I didn't expect them to bring up Darnell.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Colabello has no value right now. Teams don't give up quality players for one good month.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    They either had to address the CF situation in a meaningful way or it doesn't really matter. Sam Fuld or Alex Presley or Darin Mastroianni, none of them are particularly good choices and none of them are significantly better than the others. Alex Presley is currently rocking a Hicks-esque 70 OPS+ for Houston. Mastroianni isn't the same player he was before the injury. Sam Fuld, eh, whatever. He has played well thus far but I don't expect that to continue.

    I think that's Brunansky, not Goin. Jack Goin doesn't have influence on guys like Pinto, Plouffe, and Suzuki suddenly figuring it out. He can acquire guys who have a track record of patience but he can't turn impatient hitters into patient ones.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep. And yep.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Let's just hope there are a lot of straws breaking a lot of camels' backs this afternoon.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Jack Goin is the head of their statistical analysis and he has at least a couple part-timers under him. It's not a large group but it's growing in both size and influence, it seems.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Mike Pelfrey has started 5 games. He has pitched 23.2 innings and has struck out 10 batters. Samuel Deduno has started 0 games. He has pitched 18.2 innings and has struck out 18 batters.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Deduno's almost surely done today. So... Pelfrey: 4 IP, 7 hits, 5 ER, 3 BB, 2 SO, 85 pitches. Deduno: 4 IP, 7 hits, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 SO, 62 pitches. Closer than I'd like but I don't see how you start Pelfrey five days from now.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Deduno out for a fourth inning. Potentially stretching him out for a spot in the rotation or just saving the bullpen for game two?
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Ugh. I was really hoping Deduno would be unhittable to force Gardy's decision about the rotation.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Dude. Phil Hughes is striking out 8.4 per 9.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    I think the chances of that happening are virtually zero. The front office isn't stupid.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep. This offense is pretty fun to watch.* *A sentence Brock never thought he'd say in early 2014
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I think Pelfrey has to go first. He's throwing 2-3 mph under his career norm and has been absolutely brutal in almost every start.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I think this is the moment when every Twins fan should be praying for a dominant performance over four innings from Deduno. At that point, I don't see how the Twins roll out Pelfrey in five days while Deduno continues in the pen.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Dunno about Correia but I'll be mighty disappointed if Pelfrey makes another start in May.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    True, but Pelfrey isn't a dedicated sinkerballer. He usually sits at 92+ mph with little movement.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    DL him. His fastball is sitting at 89-90 today. Something is wrong. If you can't DL him, I don't care what you do with him, just keep him out of the rotation.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Hockey.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I'm skeptical as well. But hey, it's possible.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    The upside to this game is that I don't see how the Twins give Pelfrey another start. He's not even sitting at 91mph today. He's hovering at 89-90 and he's an AWFUL pitcher at that speed.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Dodgers' bats.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree. Pelfrey hasn't made mistakes. The Twins front office, on the other hand...
