  1. Vazquez is a huge upgrade over Sanchez, IMO. He immediately starts out as the second best catcher in the division behind Salvy - The Great One. I could see him earning half to two-thirds of that contract in year 1 and then see the time share with Jeffers swing in Ryan's favor more in years 2 and 3.
  2. "Baseball is constantly looking for ways to make improvements to the game so that younger fans are more likely to stay interested. "
  3. Congratulations, Luis Arraez!!!

  4. Same here, especially after Miranda was out, Arraez got his hit and it was reported that Judge was pulled after his homer. Winder has some nasty breaking stuff, but it isn't going to play if his fastball command doesn't improve. Way too many long PAs against him that seemed to start with non-competitive fastballs. I still think Winder has a lot of upside, but he should probably be #8/9 in the 2023 pecking order plans until he tightens things up.
  5. Reaction on a Yankees' fan site when one of their writers lists the Twins as competition for Correa's services:
  6. Dumping Kepler in favor of outfield slugs Larnach, Kirilloff and Wallner and $8.5 mill is likely to be a reoccurring theme in off-season posts. I would also expect assumptions that Miami would love to have Kepler and will trade Lopez or Alcantara for him and some 10 to 20s level prospects. Larnach and Kirilloff will then get hurt, and Wallner will pull a Parmelee. Rinse and repeat.
  7. Minimum 4-1, or I think it's over. I actually think it's over, because 4-1 seems very unlikely.
  8. If Salvi didn't already have a ring, I'd feel sorry for him. The Royals are pathetic.
  9. "They’re hoping to have the likes of Simeon Woods Richardson, Jordan Balazovic, Ronny Henriquez, Blayne Enlow, and Cole Sands give them real starter innings. Everyone mentioned there is close ..." You're kidding, right? SWR? Maybe. The rest of that group is nowhere near ready to be starting games in MLB, unless losing is the goal. The old group is intact? They're all on or should be on the IL. How is fast emergence to take place with the new group, when half of them are chronically on the IL? How does this tripe (this and the nonsense about being built for October) get on the front page? Booooo.
  10. Such a terrible showing, but Cleveland lost. Two games separate three mediocre teams from the one playoff spot that is handed to the ALC. With the intradivision play being reduced next season, it is not that hard to see a sub-500 team winning the ALC in 2023. That would be the ultimate joke.
  11. I hope HotD can get some more action and adventure into the next episodes. It's been 90% house politics so far. The jousting was cool. Dragons in the backdrop are nice. A girl talking about how she can wait until 14 to be "bedded" is disgusting (Yes, I know it's its own world with it's own social norms).
  12. This should turn into a six game skid real quick. Lackluster bunch led by a robot.
  13. Rutschman has definitely been catching up in the odds. I'm pretty sure Witt Jr. was second even last month. As of August 15, 1 ) Rodriguez -600 2) Rutschman +850 6) Miranda +7,000 9) Ryan +13,000 Duran wasn't listed. That's FanDuel info.
  14. Glad the Twins have all three. I'll go with Duran, who's seemingly been the light at the end of the bullpen tunnel all season. Miranda is a very close second for me, and I second the idea to lock him up now. I'm hoping Ryan finishes the season strong. I think he's handled the de facto Ace role quite well for a rookie.
  15. I'm waiting for something that is below the $71.94 per season that I currently pay.
  16. I wonder if Enlow may be the roster expansion call-up for the pen. Already on the 40 and has moved to relief recently.
  17. It's irresponsible to throw him into that situation at the beginning of next year, but it's OK to bench Arraez or someone else to get him into the lineup regularly during a playoff push before rosters expand? And, he's going to do this with very little experience at 2B over the last three years and a player from a different position teaching him how?
  18. Pagan was the long relief (best use of him right now). Jax threw 12 pitches. Duran had Tuesday and will have Thursday off. Fullmer could probably use a day. I don't really see a problem, and the bullpen usage chart appears to validate that. They can wait until September to put another long guy (Smeltzer?) in the pen. Who are you going bench during a playoff push to get Palacios and his 73 innings at 2B between MiLB and Venezuela the last two years into the lineup? Again, this is a September roster move, if that.
  19. 0-4 with a -22 run differential against the Dodgers. Just pathetic.
  20. 2-10 against Dodgers, Padres, Yankees and Astros. It wasn't just one game. It will be 2-11 sometime after midnight tomorrow.
