    Can Joe retroactively bunt?

    I'm not sure FoxTracks thought any of those pitches to Dozier was a strike

    My fantasy baseball team is not liking this game so far. Starting Gibby and CJ

    How far out of the box does Aybar get to go? Next time maybe just stand on the plate Eric.

    Walks will haunt

    hold on a second... Is that a bunny?
  10. Whammy
    Yes

    The Twins have another $375k they could go over their bonus pool with, bringing their total (with the savings on earlier picks) to about $600k

    sorry.... I meant to quote jokin's last post. I am on my phone and can't do much about it at this point I think you are missing the point of my counter argument. Would I, organizationally, take Heaney over Pino? Of course. But you specifically quoted someone who said they had no confidence in Pino. My argument is this: in terms of having confidence in one pitcher over another right now, Pino should inspire more confidence than Heaney. i don't care about the peripherals, advanced statistics, age, whatever.... Pino gives his team a better chance to win next Tuesday than Heaney does. I base this on actual performance over the last 3 months. Over this time Pino outperformed Heaney is just about every way
  13. Whammy
    It's one thing to say that Pino isn't the right call because he's 30 and is not "part of the future" and then to argue for Andrew Heaney, but you're using Heaney in the "I don't have any faith in Pino argument" Pino's numbers, across the board, are superior this year and were also superior to Heaney yesterday. Who do I have more faith in next week? Pino. Not Heaney. Nothing about Heaney's scouting report looks anything different than if there was a Pino scouting report based on his pitching this year. The only difference is that Heaney is a LHP.

    Looking at the Radar, how the storms are moving, and how they are redeveloping, there is NO CHANCE we are playing this game tonight.

    It was framed as "not part of the future", though. I totally agree with you that there are guys who could be called up right now that will do a better job than those two guys. And, frankly, they probably aren't being called up right now because management feels as though leaving them at AAA for now actually benefit's their futures
  22. Whammy
    I'm about to contradict myself a little... I have no problem trading our guys if that moves us down a few wins. It's the DFA, 25-man, and 40-man and AAA vs Majors moves that I'm talking about no longer wanting to be governed by "he's not part of our future"
  23. Whammy
    I guess I just feel like there is value in getting 76 wins this year rather than 68. The logical part of me knows that there is value in only getting 68 wins in terms of better draft picks, more money for international free agents, and only giving up a 2nd round pick for a QO player instead of a 1st round pick. But at some point we just need to be competitive again before we can be good again. I feel like this year could be the year we are competitive. With the unfortunate injuries to our best prospects, it could be that next year also has to be a "competitive" year, with the "good" year coming in 2016. Does it make organizational sense to be as good as possible this year? Probably not. But I'm ready to not suck.
  24. Whammy
    We've been using this "he's not part of the future" line for a couple years now, and I think it's just about time to stop using it. The Twins have shown to be relatively competitive this year and the future is close enough at this point that I'm done thinking that way. More importantly, however, very few moves the Twins have done this year show that they in "he's not part of the future" mode, so I would be very surprised if they do transactions based on it.
