    You are not wrong. Free just doesn't always mean accessible.

    Thank you, Brock. I have started reading every Trueblood article since this retort. He does great work.
  4. MMMordabito
    Great article! Berrios establishing himself as firmly in the top three of the ALC would even be great accomplishment. That would mean he's pitching better than one of Giolito, Bieber or Clevinger. Of course, Clevinger might not pitch enough and make it easier to attain.

    Cabin Daze from Big Wood Brewery out of White Bear Lake ... Put it on your list. Not sure if it will be at Target Field, but if you'll be in the area anyway ......

    My youngest son has asked to go to the Twins vs. Astros both years since the Astros "won" the title. He really likes Altuve, Springer and "CrazyHair" Gurriel. It sucks. I haven't told him about the scandal yet, because he is in his basketball season and it's out-of-site, out-of-mind. Players from other teams are fun to watch, but it really sucks when they do something like the Astros did. I didn't really get too bent out of shape about the Taubmann nonsense, because I thought that was one idiot among a bunch of good guys. He was an office nerd and the good guys were the players. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Lewis Black tactics are an easy way to keep the kids familiar with the current players. Put money on the line. It doesn't matter if it's a dollar or twenty dollars. Some type of contest or competition always works for me. We go to or watch a game and (if it's just one of the kids with me) pick four players each from the lineup. Whoever has the most home runs wins. Hits are the tiebreaker. After a few games into the season, the contest isn't necessary anymore. I'll get, "Papa, can you tell me when [Cruz or Buxton] is up?". I probably won't get a whole game, but there is interest.

    If Cruz hangs it up after this season or can't work out an extension with the Twins, I would think there would be at least one year where the DH becomes a revolving door. Donaldson could use some days there as he gets older. I haven't heard any gold glove reviews of Kirilloff or Rooker at 1B, so Sano could make sense there just as much as anyone coming up. DH might be Arraez' best postion as well.

    Or, they could trade Kirilloff or Larnach at the deadline this year for some playoff pitching. Eddie's value outside of the org doesn't seem too far above some lottery tickets and a bucket of balls. Heck, a lot of fans seem to be devaluing him inside the org. With the Donaldson contract, Sano extension and talk of extending Cruz yet another year, I just don't picture both the #2 and #3 prospects in the long term plan. That doesn't even include a possible Cave breakout under certain circumstances.
  10. MMMordabito
    I know. MLB will probably treat the Astros like a protected class.

    Target Field should hand out trash can lids and billy clubs at the gate July 31 - August 2. Basically, choreograph an entire "Cheaters" cry using the jumbotron. Later, David St. Peter can state that while the Twins are sorry that the Astros felt intimidated during the series, he is hopeful that they can just move past those events and concentrate on the rest of the baseball season.
  12. MMMordabito
    I'd feel bad for him, if he hadn't taken the potshot at Polanco. While he's under the knife, maybe they can remove those feathers or whatever that is in his hair.
  13. MMMordabito
    Yeah ... It wasn't an apples to apples comparison ... They are both just fruit from north of the border. While I'd like to see Nick's ETA of 2022 end up looking conservative, I think Balazovic will need to dominate AA for at least a couple months while things go very poorly as the rotation comes together at the same time at the big league level for him to get a chance. With that said, if he puts up video game numbers in AA and is being allowed to go deep into games while doing so, I would certainly put him in the rear-view mirror of anyone in the rotation not performing as a playoff team starter should this season.
  14. MMMordabito
    Will just have to be satisfied with your tidbits, Seth, since the Strib is behind a paywall. I'm happy for Thielbar though. It's always fun to root for the local guys. The Nick Anderson trade didn't sit well with me, so I hope Thielbar gets another chance. At least Max Murphy tore it up for the Saints. I wonder if he'll be back in 2020.

    Nice guide! Just needs a best places to drink beer section

    It seems $4 Mill buys you a lot of ranking levels. It's like a pay to play game on my phone. Otherwise, I like these rankings so far. I'm sure Cavaco will be full of helium too, but at least he's only been in the system for part of a year.
  18. MMMordabito
    Twins replaced Cron, Gibson, Perez, Dyson, Graterol and a pile of cash with Bailey, Donaldson, Maeda, Clippard and Wisler. It's a win now upgrade, IMO. Lotto ticket Hill in the bag as well. There is risk in Graterol turning into something special, but you have to give to get. With the Twins offense, I think 150 innings of Maeda is better play in 2020. I also like that Maeda is comfortable with the swing role. #YarbroughInningsModelFTW

    Just to clarify: Were the "Already Debuted" guys able to receive votes? If so, I'd pretty easily pick Randy Dobnak as the most likely to "pull an Arraez".

    Dow down 400 points today ... Drink a Corona while you execute a buy order ... Panic always presents opportunity.
  21. MMMordabito
    Wait ... Wouldn't that make it the Pierzynski trade?
  22. MMMordabito
    I'd rather they move hitting prospects first. Pittsburgh just traded Marte, so they have an opening in the outfield. A Larnach package for a Musgrove package would be more pallatable to me than moving one of Duran or Balazovic for Gray.
  23. MMMordabito
    Give him the big league offense and that 2-9 becomes 9-2
  24. MMMordabito
    Not to mention getting some helpful innings out of him while May and Duffey were figuring it out and Blake Parker was auditioning for the 2012 Twins.
  25. MMMordabito
    Looks like the the Twins fleeced the Nats on that one ... 48% K-Rate at A- !!!
