    row an excellent juicy fastball to register a strike. Pitchers seldom threw Sano a strike, yet he was always hacking. He should have just let them throw the outside sliders until they either walked him or tried their fastball. Bottom line is it comes down to plate discipline and the willingness to hit with a two-strike count.

    If we had the same TV revenue, the front office would be actively trying to improve our depth. It's just the circumstances are different this time. You post was very good by the way.

    All I know is he won the MVP in my first year as a Twins fan. He will always have a place in my most revered Twins players and made a big impression on me even if it was only one year.

    10% So he uses his fastball as a chang-up. I like it!

    I think you nailed it when you pointed out Wallner hits the ball to all fields with power, and the other two were dead pull hitters. As I think about it, I can see both Gallo and Sano putting the same swing on every pitch regardless of where it's thrown. All pitcher had to do is throw outside those swing paths ..

    If I remember correctly, Keoni Cavaco was that shiny object darting up the draft board just before draft day .. I wonder how the few guys predicted to be picked at that spot fared?

    Nothing against Jenkins but I don't know how you can place anyone ahead of Royce Lewis

    I've been hammering on that all last year. As a small market team, we should have never thrown so much money into one player, especially at his age. I mean they had to know how risky our television deal would be coming up when they did it. BUT,, we're stuck with his contract now ..

    I say bring back Burt Blyleven and Jim Kaat and pitch them eight to nine innings every 4 days ..

    So, are the retread relief pitchers being added to our 20-man roster?

    There seems to be a 12 to 15-round sweet spot lol
  12. saviking
    There is some truth to that but it's only because they haven't come up with a strong number two guy since Bert Blyleven.

    Steve Cohen should thank his lucky stars; we took Correa off his hands. He would have gone right on top of that big bond fire ..

    I agree we need to add some old school with our high-tech ways. But then, I'm an old fart. I don't mind strikeouts as long as the hitter is productive. There were 29 times last year I would have rather had Correa strike out instead of hit into a double play.

    How about a lefthanded Tori Hunter..

    That's terrific news! It sounds like Canterino was ahead of Paddock, which is encouraging. Sounds like we will get some use out of him. I'm actually glad he got the surgery. Seems like he was going to have arm problems if he hadn't. Now he gets a fresh start ..

    We don't have the starting depth to move him to the pen .. I like the Ober analogy if we sign a top-flight starter.
  18. saviking
    Keep this up and before you know it the game will be one hour ,,

    Thank goodness they have room to regress a bit and still be quality players .. I can't wait for their third year ..

    I've never seen a more stubborn batter. One that could never recognize an outside slider and lay off it. He could have led the league in walks if he had just laid off them.

    God, let's not operate like that again.

    Buxton's success should be based on WAR scored per month. {.75 WAR} per month would be perfect. That's a 4.5 WAR season if he plays the whole year. So I'm saying that when he plays, he's an asset to the team regardless of how many months he plays, whether it's one month, two months, or the whole year. And if he's hurt, he should be put on IR and not pinch hit on one leg. I just don't want him hurting the team,

    I agree. I think Prielepp. I introduced myself to Prielepp at the local Pot Belly sandwich shop in Peoria just before I watched him pitch that night. He's a physical specimen but was not all that impressed with what turned out to be his only start of the season. I consider him a high risk talent. So Fiesta is the player we have to decide whether to part ways with or not. I've seen too many promising pitchers in our minor league system that have flamed out once they make the bigs or turned into relief pitchers. So, the question is, do we think we have the team to make a reasonable run at the World Series next year? I think we do so would make this trade. An additional late first-round pick the year after is icing on the cake.

    I don't like any of the trades ..

    Ans owning a record store in the seventys while I was in my twenties was a great encore!
