    "I suspect Mariner games are also broadcast in British Columbia. When Ichiro was there, they had a following in Japan as well. Although, that was likely online and not part of a cable deal." The Mariners' games were shown live on NHK on the weekends when Ichiro played, so NHK forked over big time cash to the "dai-league" and Seattle certainly gets their cut. The Angels/Mariners games are going to be the big ticket item for 2019.

    He could offer Evenson five of the Upper Deck Kent Hrbek 2013 Goodwin Champions series cards which would cost less than the price of one Bryce Harper. Hrbek isn't even wearing a tacky baseball uniform (suit and tie). If he still doesn't bite, Falvey could throw in an official Kent Hrbek Rapala fishing lure... now that would show some hometown spirit. Not too bad, eh?

    I ALWAYS appreciate these minor league reads because it adds some information, a face and usually a stat or two when a player's name suddenly pops up.
  4. Aerodeliria
    Agreed! (The three batter minimum would affect the game in very annoying ways...)
  5. Aerodeliria
    Very, very interesting and the rationale for improvement is also excellent. Thanks!
  6. Aerodeliria
    Thanks for your hard work. I have enjoyed reading this series.

    That makes a lot of sense to me; it's a working leech--not a pet, and this also explains why the leech might sometimes be shorter (resting) and longer (working).
  8. Aerodeliria
    Anyway, the question was about Buxton's leach not his leash. Apparently, he has a pet. I suppose it swims around in the bottom of the ice bucket.

    While I would love Realmuto, a catcher is a catcher...until he's not a catcher because he tweaks a knee, takes a foul-tip on his throwing hand or gets conked on the noggin. I am always leery of trading away big assets for catchers because they are so prone to injury. Maybe I would trade Garver + May or Garver + Duran or Garver + Larnach + Reed/Hildenberger or something along those lines, but I would be hesitant to send Kirilloff until we know how much upside he really has.

    When he was in his prime as a Twin, he was so tough...as good as anyone.

    Nice recap...to date, but I am still keeping the photo until....

    I love to add Harper's Ferry to the Nelson Cruz ship. I also changed my photo....

    This apparently has become a Twins mantra in some parts. I'm like everyone else; I'm all in on the Buxton we briefly saw in the latter half of 2017. However, and not to be a naysayer, if our entire success or failure rests on the shoulders on Buxton, I think that only intensifies his own personal struggles, which might not be such a good thing, since his troubles seem to be mental struggles as much as physical ones. Maybe the approach should be precisely the opposite; i.e., let's not count on Buxton for anything and let's see how things go. I have a completely different view of this picture. I don't think it is the case that the fate of the Twins rests entirely on the shoulders of BB. Cave has shown himself to be a decent player and can fill the role of CF if he needs to do it again. I am far more concerned about the pitching rotation. It looks shaky at best, but even that isn't a death blow at this point. That is to say, a lot of Twins will have to produce if the organization is to have a successful 2019 campaign. I hope one of them is Buxton, but he isn't Atlas--he needs lots of others to lift their corners of world as well.

    Things happen during seasons that are unexpected. The 1987 team was hardly a juggernaut on paper. The Twins grabbed a playoff spot only because they were only slightly less awful than the Royals, and Detroit was going to clean their clocks in the opening round. (I even remember Brent Musburger saying that the series would now go to four games instead of three--because the Tigers had lost the opener--assuming that the Twins would lose three straight.) We all know what happened. Sure, I'd love the Twins to spend more, but with the signing of Cruz, I think the Twins become a much more fun team to watch...and who knows, one of those players may emerge and have a big year.

    I thought it came from his mother but I guess it came from someone named Jason Parks...maybe his brother-in-law...
  16. Aerodeliria
    Ha!

    PS-Like many others on the list, perhaps the reason I somewhat abandoned pro football was because of the Vikings' miserable play on the big stage... especially when they are supposed to win (like when the Bears have nothing to play for so it should be a good tune-up for the Vikings' playoff start...).

    Of course, I remember both Mahomes, but my best memories of Patrick Mahomes are when my OSU Cowboys took out his Texas Tech Red Raiders in 2015 and in 2016. The teams scored over 200 points combined in those two games! (The first game I'll likely never forget because TT scored the first 21 points in the game only to give up 10 touchdowns to the Cowboys. Final: 70-53.) With that said, I am happy to support Big 12 players once they become pros, so I hope Mahomes just keeps chucking TDs and I hope the Vikings get Mason Rudolph away from Pittsburgh (although when comes to football, I prefer the Big 12 over the pros).

    Wow ewen21! How did you ever remember that?

    I inadvertently posted before I had finished. I wanted to add that I was sorry to see Michael Cuddyer leave the Twins when he did, but at least he's bwcame a Twins HOFer so will remain a Twin for life.

    I agree that Kepler is a more reasonable comparison due to the strikeouts vs. walks. Interesting, Buxton was able to draw 76 walks back in 2013 in AA ball. The 105 Ks don't seem particularly troubling in light of the free passes. Perhaps in this Rocco world, he can revisit a bit more patience, bunt a lot more and just try to put the ball in play with two strikes. It's a pity he has been striking out as much as he has, as a walk or bunt single would essentially be a double with his speed

    I'm not Santana fan at all.
  25. Aerodeliria
    Astudillo's bat is far too valuable not to be in the Twins line-up or as an off the bench pinch hitter. The guy just never strikes out....... or walks.
